Getting Your Home Ready For Santa Claus - Safety
When I was a child, I remember asking my mother and
father about Santa Claus coming down the chimney. “Shouldn't we clean
the chimney,” I said. My mother and father informed me that the chimney
was as clean as it was going to get and that Santa Claus wouldn't have
any problems coming down, to deliver our toys.
I never got to see Santa Claus, but heard him one year shuffling around
in the living room as he was delivering our toys. I wanted to go out and
see him, but my mother and father warned me against it. I knew better
than to disturb Santa Claus, because he was very busy.
I'm sure that most people around the holiday season aren't interested in
getting their home ready for Santa Claus, but they should be interested
in getting their home ready for accident prevention. I don't know how
you or your children would feel, if Santa Claus accidentally tripped
over an electrical cord, on his way from the fireplace to the Christmas
tree.
If there's something dangerous around your home that you keep running
into, tripping over, bumping into or something else that continues to
give you grief, it's time to repair or remove it. If you're not
interested in getting hurt, I'm sure that Santa Claus shares your same
feelings.
If you're truly interested in having a wonderful Christmas and holiday
season, I recommend that you remove, replace or repair anything in your
home that's creating a safety problem. If your purse keeps getting
caught on the stair handrailing, you have a floor that's constantly wet
and slippery or electrical cords from your Christmas tree that are
creating trip hazards, it's time to end your problems.
Just a little reminder to everyone, who's planning on having Santa Claus
come to their home and drop off a few presents, a safe home keeps you
and your family happy. Happy holidays to everyone out there in
cyberspace.
