What's Open At 7:45pm On Christmas Day In Southern Indiana?

What’s open at 7:45pm on Christmas day in southern Indiana?  Answer: McDonalds!

But the line was almost out the door because just about the only thing open at 7:45pm on Christmas day in southern Indiana is McDonalds.  (…And Waffle House.)

I must say, however, the cashier at this McDonalds gets the Official Christmas Day Wonderful Attitude Award (administered annually by the Christmas Attitude Association of the Greater Midwest Region).  After spending over 8 hours on her feet, with a line out the door the entire day, she was smiling, cheerful, patient and friendly.  Seriously, she was.  I was impressed and pleasantly surprised.  What a nice lady!  In fact, I was so impressed that I offered to give her a McNugget from our order.

She smiled and said, “No thanks.  I’m alright.”  (Then she gave Nadia a look that said, “You actually hang out with this guy all the time, huh?)

Have you been wondering for years how to perfectly cap off a Christmas Day?  Well, it turns out that the answer is a double cheeseburger from McDonalds.  Who would have guessed it?

Well, who knows where we are right now, frankly, I’m blurry eyed.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!
