When you’re short of ideas [or in my case, just lazy], work a theme (and work it hard!).

For the next 12 days leading up to Christmas, I’ll post once a day on the Christmas theme. Some of it will be useful info and some of it … well, just … silly … but we Aussies don’t call December the Silly Season for nothing … and the world needs more silly!

And yes, I know the 12 Days of Christmas officially start on Christmas Eve, but I’ll be just startin’ to kick back and ignore my blogging audience around then, so let’s just get it over and done with now …

Day 1: Holiday Fire-Safety Tips

Each year, hospital emergency rooms treat about 8,100 people for injuries, such as falls, cuts, and shocks related to holiday lights, decorations, and Christmas trees. In addition, Christmas trees are involved in more than 400 fires annually, resulting in 30 deaths, 90 injuries, and an average of more than $17 million in property loss and damage.

Now, this article is based in the USA, but for Southern Hemisphere Christmasites like me, I still found a couple of useful tips in the article. Worth a visit [click the title above to go read it].

Enjoy the Silly Season!
