Home Holiday
Fire Administration. That is certainly something to consider. So is this – Each year fires occurring during the holiday season claim the lives of over 400 people, injure 1,650 more, and cause over $990 million in damage. According to the United States Fire Administration (USFA), there are simple life-saving steps you can take to ensure a safe and happy holiday. By following some of the outlined precautionary tips, individuals can greatly reduce their chances of becoming a holiday fire casualty. Here is some advice from Texas Mutual Insurance Company.
Holiday lights:
• Do not overload electrical circuits. Follow manufacturer guidelines for the number of light strands connected to each other. Do not use multiple-plug adapters to increase the number of items you can connect to a standard electrical outlet.
• Inspect all electrical items before you use them. On light strands, look for broken or cracked light sockets, frayed or bare wires and loose connections. Make sure the ground prong on three-prong plugs is in place.
• If you use electrical cords or lights outside, make sure they are rated for outdoor use.
Trees:
• Make sure live trees are fresh, with no brown needles or dry limbs. Give them plenty of water.
• Spray
live trees with a fire retardant. Tree vendors and local home improvement stores usually carry fire-retardant spray.
• Check the box and the safety tag on artificial trees to make sure they are flame-resistant. Do not place light strands on metallic trees.
• Do not place trees near fireplaces, furnaces, candles or other sources of heat. Also, avoid placing trees near room exits. If the tree catches on fire, you may not be able to get out.
Open flames:
• Place candles in holders that will not tip over, and keep them away from drapes, trees and other flammable objects.
• Put candles out before you leave home or go to bed.
• Have a professional chimney sweep inspect your fireplace annually, before you use it.
• Light fires with kindling and wooden matches only. Do not use flammable liquids.
• Always use a fireplace screen
Plus, here are a couple of more tips from the USFA –
Candle Care
• Avoid Using Lit Candles. If you do use them, make sure they are in stable holders and place them where they cannot be easily knocked down. You should never leave the house with candles burning.
• Never Put Lit Candles on a Tree. Do not go near a Christmas tree with an open flame – candles, lighters or matches.
Finally, as in every season, have working smoke alarms installed on every level of your home, test them monthly and keep them clean and equipped with fresh batteries at all times. Know when and how to call for help. And remember to practice your home escape plan.

Holiday with a Vampire $4.75 'TIS THE SEASON TO TAKE A WALK ON THE DARK SIDE…Silhouette Nocturne is proud to present these two sensual, heartwarming tales of love during the holiday season. True, the heroes may not wear red suits or be very jolly. But tall, dark and handsome, with the unusual power to thrill, can sometimes be the best gift of all.

Most women dream of being swept off their feet by a man–not whisked away by a devastatingly handsome vampire.

Holiday Lights! $3.48 Every December, it?s harder and harder to keep up with the Clauses. Consider the Wills home in Mendota Falls, Minnesota, where more than 150 candy canes light up the exterior of the house. Or Bull Run Park in Centerville, Virginia, which features 200 over-the-top holiday lights displays stretching over two miles. And down in Marble Falls, Texas, just about every house in town is a holiday lights extravaganza (including the place with a twirling lariat that spells out ?MERRY TEXMAS Y?ALL?) Okay, so maybe some holiday light shows get a little out of hand, but you have to appreciate the time, work, and effort (not to mention expense) that goes into installing 600,000 bulbs over a 50,000-square-foot property (as in the case of the Clot family of Pinecrest, Florida). And don?t forget the imagination and technical wizardry of homeowners who have created a school of dancing fish wearing Santa hats, or a garden of computer-controlled poinsettias that appear to grow out of the ground and blossom in glorious color, or illuminated toy trains that run on 700 feet of track.HOLIDAY LIGHTS! is a high-wattage celebration of the wildest and most wonderful examples of a modern tradition. The 250 full-color photographs are spectacular, but don?t stop at the pictures. The accompanying essays reveal the titanic amount of hard work and dedication required to install these displays. Make this Christmas one your family will remember forever by knitting Christmas stockings for the entire clan. The 19 fun, simple-to-follow patterns presented here make it easy for even first-time knitters to create beautiful stockings ? not to mention delightful knit and felt ornaments for the Christmas tree.And Knit Christmas Stockings! is not only fun and easy to use, it?s also economical. With single-pattern prices from $3.50 to $9, a knitter buying 19 patterns could spend over $150! But with Knit Christmas Stockings! knitters get 19 great patterns for just $14.95.As with all the books in Storey?s die-cut Knit series, this book is written with the first-time knitter in mind. All knitting instructions are in plain English ? no esoteric terms or indecipherable abbreviations. And if a project calls for an unusual technique, the instructions are accompanied by detailed illustrations of the process. |

Doc’s Holiday $8.48 Doc’s house is a special place. But, then again, Doc is a special person. He takes great joy from life and makes sure to share this zeal with all who cross his threshold-and many nutty and needy people do. Unfortunately, the only one who doesn’t understand this is Doc’s daughter, Charlotte. And she chooses Christmastime, of course, to tell Doc she is moving away. This leaves Doc to decide whether to spend the Yule season with her in a different city or stay at home to help a separated couple get back together. In the spirit of those old-fashioned, heart warming comedies of Frank Capra or George Kaufman, this delightful Christmas play in two-acts shows how things can work out if we all just pull together. Doc’s Holiday can be performed as a sequel to If the Good Lord’s Willing and the Creek Don’t Rise . |
