As we can see from the pictures, during this busy time, the long to-do list lingering in our heads can lead to various mistakes and accidents. One of the most common injuries during the holiday season comes from decorations.

It’s estimated that 18,400 people in the US are hurt by them each year. Surprisingly, 10% of this group are children under four years old. Additionally, middle-aged adults are the most prone to decor-related ER visits, whereas young adults and teenagers are the least likely.

Someone Has Been Cutting Our Christmas Lights. Today, We Caught The Culprit

The first day, we suspected it was Jehovah's Witnesses (the only people approaching the house that day). The second day, we thought it might be kids just outside the camera's view. On the third day, we found out who it was. I had no idea rabbits could produce such clean cuts.

Amidst the sparkling decor, Christmas trees are the main cause of holiday fires that injure more than 1,600 people and rack up $990 million in damages in the US every year. Almost a third of them are the result of various electrical issues.

Not to mention the fact that about 1,000 people are hurt by their Christmas tree when fixing decorations on the higher branches.

Merry Christmas, Here’s Your Gift

I sent my sister a stockpot and claimed other home goods for Christmas (she just got an apartment and has nothing for her kitchen).

She came home to find her package looked like it had been run over. The guy at the front desk who took the package in said the delivery driver seemed supremely uninterested in the problematic package. Getting it refunded and a new one sent over, hopefully in better condition and in time for Christmas.

Negative Temperatures In Texas But At Least Our House Stayed Toasty. Merry Christmas

The firefighters told us it was faulty wiring. My husband overheard them talking to each other and they were discussing the duplex. They think it used to be one home they split in two, that they updated the other side but didn’t bring our side up to code. The fire started up in the attic apparently and went down through the furnace. It collapsed the ceiling and put a handful of holes in the roof. Both of the closets got eaten into by flames. Still trying to process it all for sure.

It appears that not everyone is completely safe when visiting Santa at the mall, either. A study revealed that 277 children were injured while whispering their wishes into his ear. This usually happens when kids fall off his lap or run away from him, and cut themselves on other objects around them.

Kids aren’t the exception, as adults also get hurt when they trip over something while taking their little ones to see the big man in red.

Opening presents can also pose risks, especially if we’re dealing with kids and toys with small parts. In 2021, more than 200,000 toy-related injuries were treated in emergency rooms. Unfortunately, a scooter is one of the most unsafe presents you can give to a child, as 400,000 accidents related to it have been reported since 2011. The second and third most dangerous are balls and toy vehicles.

Cooking is a big part of the holiday season, but hot food and sharp knives can make the kitchen a hazardous zone. According to one survey, 49% of people had an accident while preparing a Christmas feast. 1 in 10 spilled hot fat on themselves, and 1 in 5 cut themselves while preparing vegetables. Cooking fires are also three times more likely to happen on Christmas due to food or equipment left unattended.

To have a safer Christmas, it’s advised that people take extra precautions. Before decorating, make sure to check the fairy lights and other electronics for any signs of damage. If the cables are frayed or look unsafe in any way, it’s best to get rid of them. Also, don’t overload the electrical sockets, and keep flammable things away from lights, candles, or fireplaces.

More importantly, don’t rely on unstable chairs or stools when decorating something high; instead, use a sturdy ladder. Furthermore, the longer natural trees are in a house after a holiday, the more likely they are to dry out and cause a fire. So, water it regularly to ensure it doesn’t become parched, or dispose of it within one month of purchase.

Finally, dull knives can be more dangerous than sharp ones because the blunt edge is more likely to slip off food. To be extra safe, keep them sharpened and use a cutting board with a grippy surface.

I used to live way out in the boonies on a horse boarding stable across from a reservoir. There was a gate across our driveway with enough space to pull in and be off the road while you opened it. The gate was locked at night and a big sign was on it saying to not park in the driveway. So I come home from work one night at 11pm after doing a double shift and there's a car parked right in front of the gate, locked up and no one in sight. I yelled, I honked my horn, and finally I had enough. My truck was so old and wrecked up a little more wasn't going to hurt it. So I unlocked the gate and squeezed by that car, scraping along the entire side and breaking off the mirror. It looked like a demolition car when I was done, but I was inside and going home. That's what you get for blocking driveways. And as far as I know, no one ever came to complain about it.

It totally depends on the type of car you drive. A normal sized car would not be "blocked" and could easily leave the property. The extra caution might be somewhat inconvenient, but the 30 cm (10 inch) the left car is "blocking" should not challenge your abilities as driver.

It's easy to say "If I owned a restaurant, I'd simply close on Christmas Eve."

Restaurants can do a lot of business on holidays, and they need employees. A lot of service industries give holiday overtime to compensate, ask for volunteers, but not every business has that luxury. And there are businesses that must stay open: gas stations, stores, etc. There are people who need stuff on Christmas Day, and it can be hard if everything's closed. I know people want Christmas off, but it just may not always be possible.

you gotta spread out the branches! (also, yes, it does look like the branches *are* a bit sparse. however, fluffing the branches *is* necessary for fake trees and it will look better when you do)

Coles Christmas Gift To Staff

Despite a year of record profits, the executives at Coles decided that the frontline staff who work their hardest and face mistreatment daily, are only worthy of a Coles-branded water bottle and 5 "points" (equivalent to $5) for Christmas this year.

This kick in the face comes after months of enforcing staff bag checks and locker inspections despite the sheer number of customers who walk out with trolleys full of stock every day, with barely any action taken about it.

What an absolute joke. Do better, Coles.

Had A Flood On Christmas Eve. Scrounging Around For Cheap Furniture. This "Was" Free

This actually happened as I lifted the end up while trying to get the truck bed up. Was gonna use the gate to keep it forward. Straps were going on top. Gave the gate a push to get it to close and heard a pop. Knew immediately what I had done.

If that table fell down during a bout of turbulence or a crash landing it could kill the passenger in the seat; that delay and repair cost the airline a lot of money and if there is one thing airlines do not do nowadays it is spend money unnecessarily
