I guess this counts as my inaugural contribution to the Hostilidays.

Merry Christmas! dammit.

From weather.com, 12-14-10: "A bus driver in Champaign-Urbana, IL resigned after officials with the transit agency saw this video of his bus running over a snowman in the middle of a street. Another vehicle steered around the snowman just before the bus hit it."
