When did you first learn to drive or get your driver's license??<br />as soon as I completed the Driver Ed program in my high school - just over 16 - passed driving and parking on 1st go - whoohoo! plus got my 1st car that yr as well as we lived in a rural area of the city :)) so a car def helped my mom out too as she didn't drive..<br /><br />2.

To me, it was a sign of independence. Even when I didn't have a car, the license was still a symbol that I could drive and take care of myself.<br /><br />I don't really read seasonally, so I'll read a Christmas book whenever. I do try to read at least one in December though.Sarah Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10671051704990208661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-36170917368442710602012-10-07T23:24:01.110-05:002012-10-07T23:24:01.110-05:001.

I've already been thinking about Christmas books, gearing up for my Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge which starts the week of Thanksgiving.

Living in L.A. it's kind of expected to get your license as soon as you can. The first car I had was a '55 Chevy. <br /><br />I was moving a bookcase just the other day and started looking at the Christmas books thing it was about time to start reading them. I think maybe when I finish my current book.<br /><br />lkish77123 at gmail dot com Linda Kishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691270187098793014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-89645967159903594702012-10-07T10:11:07.833-05:002012-10-07T10:11:07.833-05:00I learned to drive on an old F150 pickup stick shi...I learned to drive on an old F150 pickup stick shift. I had a wee little fender accident while on learner's permit at the last turn onto the family house. 8 years later, I was leaving the house and at that same turn I had another accident (only my second one ever). Luckily, no one was hurt, but both cars were totaled. I told my parents they have to move. <br /><br />I don't really read seasonally, but I might try The Hogfather by Terry Pratchett to get me in the Winter Solstice mood. nrlymrtlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00572346310916207565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-90685696780264394132012-10-07T09:40:50.911-05:002012-10-07T09:40:50.911-05:001.

I didn't get very far because he would tease me and I would cry! I was so glad when that semester was over. My mother took me driving after I got my beginner's permit. I have a weird problem with depth perception, that does not help me with driving! I cannot figure distance very well. I went for my driving test and had to do it again because the tester said that "you are too nervous". <br /><br />2. I look at them year round but start reading them in December. However, I sometimes play Christmas music in the summer. I have always been that way.<br /><br />CarolNWong(at)aol(dot)comCarol N Wonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873206816286352639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116789728291762138.post-66827201613573797442012-10-07T09:33:06.628-05:002012-10-07T09:33:06.628-05:001. 19

Alas I didn't and only ever made my license roughly ten years later. I failed my first driving test too and I know it sounds petty, but it was the inspectors fault *grumbles* and I still remember giving him an ear full in front of everyone else ... of course, later it turned out it wasn't all in my mind, because that guy apparently "didn't like women" and let almost all of them take the test a second time. Good thing my driving instructor managed to get me another inspector for my second try and this time? Easy peasy.<br /><br />2. Actually I am already thinking about digging out some Christmasy cozy mysteries from my TBR piles to read them faily soon! :-)Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307461298661584480noreply@blogger.com
