Avoid Holiday Hazards

Ho ho ho.  Everyone is busy busy busy.  Buying gifts, planning celebrations, working out travel details.  Stop and take a breath!!  Reader's Digest shared a great Holiday Hazards Checklist

Ideas:
+ Use a fire resistant tree and place your tree away from flames and other hazards, and watch out for breakable glass ornaments.
+ Be sure your lights are in good shape and that you turn them off before going to bed at night.
+ Don't burn wrapping paper in the fireplace.
+ Be sure that toys are appropriate for the child's age to avoid choking or other problems.
+ Provide supervision for outside play to avoid accidents.
+ Clean up quickly to avoid food spoilage.
+ Wash your hands frequently to avoid spreading germs.
+ Have a list of emergency numbers handy, just in case.

No one wants to have to deal with a medical emergency or an insurance claim during the holidays, so take it easy and be safe.  Merry Christmas!
