Serves her right for not wearing a Christmas Helmet. I am pushing to pass legislation in my state making the wearing of a Christmas Helmet mandatory from November 1-December 24. I am all about Christmas safety.

I was thinking of opening a "Christmas Shopping Self-Defense" school. Maybe you'd like to teach a class?

I certainly hope so.
