TIS THE SEASON (Cont. from Page 11)
the ‘home’ seem impossible. It’s so nice to come into the

house and see that everything is beautiful, even the places
nobody sees!”

Some people plan not to plan! One person told me
“I’m single and I get invited out to people’s homes who
have chiidren. It’s enjoyable for me, but I don’t accept
invitations for Christmas Eve. I leave the 24th open.
With no plans made it brings some excitement into the
day. I never know where or with whom I may end up.
1 spend the day visiting people on the street, have a
drink in the lounge, and generally make myself available.
] like spreading good cheer!

Some people with small children had a few interesting
tips. One gal stated that she and her husband get the kids
outside after dinner on Christmas Eve. ‘We take the sled,
bundle the kids up and walk. By the time we get home,
the youngest is usually already asleep in the sleigh. The
other two are excited but ready for bed.”

Another couple likes to invite single people to their
home for Christmas dinner. “I was in a bunkhouse for a

couple of years at Christmas and it was depressing” said.

one man. “Now I have my own home, | like to share
Christmas with others.”’

Christmas stirs many memories in all oF us..some

glad, some sad. Many of us are a distance from our fam-
ilies. Some of us are not religiously inclined but appre-
ciate the “good will towards human kind” that is the
spirit of the season. We all end up coping the best we can.

My personal Christmas “‘tip’’ on how to enjoy the
season is to communicate. Good old fashioned conver-
sation, combined with friendliness and an open mind to
another’s thoughts means a lot this time of year. Perhaps
in this you can give and in turn receive the best gift of all,

A MESSAGE FRO

Greetings

THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT

lronically, there is an increase in home fires and related
deaths during the traditionally joyous Christmas Season —:
due to the age-old _problem.of carelessness and to the built-i
fire hazards associated with Christmas decorations.

Degli gy

Everyone should ensure that his or her holiday is free from
fire. Fire safety precautions should head the list of every sen-
sible family’s precautions for Christmas. There is no place
like home for the holidays — there is also no place like home
for Christmas fire hazards.

Fire can be a dangerous enemy and this is a dangerous time
of year. Christmas trees and decorations are extra fire hazards
‘so be extra careful.

you a very Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year

Stand your tree in water. Cut an inch or so off the base so it
will absorb more. Check the water level daily. A dry tree is a
double hazard. Tie it securely and keep it away from heat.
Check sets of electric lights for worn insulation, broken plugs,
loose bulb sockets. Throw away old sets with dried out wir-
ing. Remember — fire can start very fast. Turn off all indoor
tree and decorative lights before leaving the house or retiring
for the night. Do not leave tree lights on for long periods of
time.
