Christmas Hazards

You may be looking forward to Christmas but watch out for the dangers lurking, ready to catch the unwary. Undercooked turkey is a common cause of salmonella and even if you escape that culinary disaster, too much rich food and excessive amounts of alcohol can give you a stomach upset. Then there’s the enforced company of family members who may not be your cup of tea – very bad for the blood pressure to say nothing of the mental angst which can play havoc with relationships. Relate counsellors are rushed off their feet in the post-Christmas period. Finally watch out for the Christmas tree lights. If they’re not electrocuting you, they are setting the tree on fire and as for having them near that bucket of water that you were going to use for watering the tree….Merry Christmas but take care!
