The Christmas Spirit is alive!

Okay so I was on my way to Walgreen's tonight when the Christmas spirit started. I was in the turn lane behind 2 other cars. A small sedan and a SUV. The light turns green and the sedan does not turn immediately so the SUV burns rubber and turns in front of her. We are all driving towards Walgreen's and in the parking lot the Christmas spirit starts. And here is how it is played out:
Father of the girl in sedan we'll call him dad #1
Father of small boy in SUV we'll call him dad #2
and me well we'll call me Trina lol

dad#1 "What is your problem My daughter is 16 and a student driver"
dad#2 "Maybe you should teach her how to drive"
Dad #1 " She is 16 you really want a driver like you on the streets"
Trina gets out of her car and walks briskly towards the two fathers
Trina "Guys it's the Holidays"
they continue to argue in front of the Walgreen's
Trina raises her voice "Guys It is Christmas, it's the holidays"
They continue to argue
Trina " Listen it is the Holidays and you have children here, now stop it don't do this in front of them!"
They pause walk away and a few other things are said to each other in the store.
I go about my business and see the young girl I tap her on her arm to see if she is okay. She replies yes.
Her father thanks me.
My hands are trembling i am so upset with the situation.
As I am checking out I am telling the cashier what happened. As I tell her that i was so upset i was almost in tears, by the way these two fathers acted towards each other in front of their children dad #2 walks by. I only hope he heard me ex specially the part were i said "What are they teaching their children".

I am proud of myself as a mother and person.
I hope they think about how they acted tonight when they are laying down to go to sleep. Was there really anything at Walgreen's that important?
