This simple checklist is designed to help people take care of themselves and |eep the holiday season happy. General Safety Tip* Keep your natural Christmas tree watered, hot lights can ignite a tree in seconds. Make sure your home fuse box is equipped to handle the additional load of Christmas lights. Don’t bum wrapping paper in the fireplace. Burning paper has been known to ignite chimneys. Keep small children away from mistletoe and other holiday plants, they’re pretty, but poisonous. Don’t buy toys with sharp edges or pieces that can break off and be swallowed. If hosting grandchildren for the holidays, childproof your home, especially electricl outlets, medicine cabinets and under sinks. Hotting A Party? Clear you walks and driveway of snow and ice.

W’car your scat belt while in the car to and from a party. Never attempt to quench your thirst with an alcoholic beverage.

Don’t drink and drive. Be aware that remedies such as black coffee, cold showers, exercises and fresh air have no effect on blood alcohol content. Watching Your Weight At The Chriatmaa Dinner Table? Cut excess fat from meat and remove skin from poultry. Cut pieces of pie and cake thinner and leave off whipped cream or ice cream, fruit is an enjoyable dessert substitute. Put down your silverware between bites and engage in mealtime conversation to slow your eating rate. Remove food from sight immediately following the meal. After the meal, get up from the table and participate in an activity. What About Tboae Party Calorie*? Tell your host or hostess you're watching your weight, their support can be valuable. Don’t stand by the food table, out of sight, out of mind. Don’t eat because others are eating. Drink a diet beverage instead of alchol. Amer wan Red Cross + 'together, we can change 1 things.
