Can you belive it?  It is almost Christmas time and we are wondering where the time went.  Seems like a few seconds ago we went home from the new year fireworks display and here we are looking at 2012!!  How crazy is that?  Anyway, some important information about Christmas light safety.  First of all.  Check those holiday Christmas lights!
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, holiday lights claim the lives of more than 400 Americans each year. Since many of you will get those festive strands and bulbs up the day after Thanksgiving (why wait?), now's a great time to do a quick check of all of your lights to be sure they're working properly. If you have any damaged wires or loose connections, throw the entire string out.   That is  right, toss it.  And, of course, replace any broken or missing bulbs.
