The tradition of lighting up a Christmas tree, for example, dates back to the days before holiday lights. Before electric-powered twinkle lights were invented and even before electricity was discovered, people used actual candles to adorn the Christmas tree. As one can imagine, having an open flame next to a dried-out tree made for some fast fires. That’s why it was customary to keep a bucket of water next to the tree as well. As if fire wasn’t enough, the tinsel
used to decorate trees was made from strips of silver and even lead -- something that is now known to be a health hazard to adults and children alike. Although we’ve come a long way from candles and lead, trees that are overly dry paired with lights that have frayed wires can just as easily lead to fires. One holiday staple that has lost its status as a safety hazard is the poinsettia plant. Poinsettias are a tropical plant that have become a fixture during the
holiday season. It has long been thought that poinsettias are poisonous to people and animals. While there is some toxicity to the plant, it would require the ingestion of hundreds of leaves to get a toxic dose of a plant’s poison. Ingestion may simply cause a case of vomiting or diarrhea instead. But poinsettia leaves are said to have an unpleasant taste, so one bite and most children and animals will probably turn away.

light it up!7. Don’t leave the lights on when no adults are home. If the home is empty or if just kids are home, make sure the lights are off. Avoid using timers that automatically turn the lights on, as it’s possible they will turn on when no one is home. Unplug all cords when going away for the holidays just to be safe.
8. Make sure all cords are visible. Don’t bury cords underneath rugs or floor mats to avoid personal injuries.
9. Hanging lights shouldn’t be a solo project. Whether hanging lights inside or outside, never do so alone. A stiff wind might come along and blow the ladder away or an unstable ladder might lead to a fall. Accidents happen when hanging lights indoors as well, so make sure to have an adult partner on hand to avoid injury.
10. Make sure kids cannot reach lighting displays. Kids often adore holiday lighting displays and their natural curiosity is to reach for lights. Avoid potential accidents by keeping lights well beyond the reach of children.
Holiday lighting displays are a beloved tradition but one homeowners must carefully consider and layout to avoid accidents.
1. Make sure exterior lights are designed for outdoor use. Not all lights can handle the elements, so those old Christmas tree lights might not be able to enjoy a second life as part of a home’s exterior lighting decor.
2. Plug lights directly into the electrical sockets rather than relying heavily on extension cords. Employ surge protector strips if there are not enough outlets available. Before plugging anything in, consult the fuse box to determine how much each circuit can safely handle.
3. Don’t use damaged lighting sets, including those with frayed strings, unstable connections, exposed wires, or broken or cracked sockets.
4. Make sure all external lights are securely attached. Wind can do significant damage to bulbs, which can lead to additional safety risks. As a precaution, attach all lights firmly to walls or anything else that will not blow away when a stiff wind arrives.
5. Inside the home, be extra careful when using an artificial Christmas tree. Electric lights should never be used on a metallic tree.
6. Routinely check all cords’ temperatures. If a cord feels too hot, unplug it and find a replacement.

Wheat Bellyby William Davis
Every day, over 200 million Americans consume food
products made of wheat. As a result, over 100 million
of them experience some form of adverse health
effect, ranging from minor rashes and high blood sugar
to the unattractive stomach bulges that preventive
cardiologist William Davis calls “wheat bellies.”
According to Davis, that excess fat has nothing to do
with gluttony, sloth, or too much butter: It’s due to the
whole grain wraps we eat for lunch. After witnessing
over 2,000 patients regain their health after giving up
wheat, Davis reached the disturbing conclusion that
wheat is the single largest contributor to the nationwide obesity epidemic - and its
elimination is key to dramatic weight loss and optimal health.

12/14 The HobbitMartin Freeman, Ian McKellen
The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever…Gollum. Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious”… a simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know. © Warner Bros
