well I seen the bus driver I have a crush on, who is always shy but nice towards me and talks very low and mild mannered....so as I am getting on the bus today, he just cheeses and grins with all 32 teeth and proceeded to ask me was that package I had for him, I said no this is mine all giddy and he laughed and I said my boss gave this 2 me as a gift...all the folks on the bus just lol and smiled at the two of us and mr. cutey said congrats and I said thanks and as i was about 2 get off the bus he just kept staring at me and smiling and said loudly/confidently for the first time ever have a great day while still smiling, i proceeded to say thanks and i asked will you be driving again next week, he said yes smiling, i said ill bring you a Christmas card he said okay, okay extra happy smiling with all 32 teeth showing...i was wondering what could i write in the card (i was thinking/gonna attach a candy bar on it as a gift) ill see him next week sometime) i want to grasp his attention and let him know i wouldn't mind getting to know him outside of the bus route.....thanks for any ideas

If younger, then he most likely will not act upon anything you say or do. So I am answering, assuming you are an adult.
A candy bar is okay, even a little grouping of handmade Christmas cookies and treats in one of those holiday cellophane bags, or simply a candy cane. You didnt mention that you know each others names. So you could say, Merry Christmas to my favorite bus driver. Why are you my favorite? I really like how you smile. (You did mention his teeth alot. If there's something else you'd like to compliment him on, then do so.)
Then sign it, by the way, my name is ....... and write your name. Or end it any way that is more your style.
Nothing may come of it dear because at Christmas time, when my hubby and I as a young couple did an adult paper route, we used to get cards and cookies from many customers. When we thanked them, they mentioned they give a little something to those people in service of some sort who normally would wouldn't get thought of, like the postman, your Fed ex guy if you receive lots of packages,etc and bus driver would fall into the catagory. He may think that this is all there is to your card and gift, just being kind and thoughtful. You may need to find chances to sit closer up front to try to chat a little bit when possible if he doesn't get brave enough to ask you. Or he may not be interested in exactly the same way as you are. I've have many times when people were extra friendly to me and I found after that this is how they usually are with all, or they were thinking friend only but there were no romantic attractions toward me. Its worth a try but don't be too disappointed if it doesn't pan out as you hope. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
