And the angel said unto them,
Fear not: for, behold I
bring you tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in
the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:10-11
May you be blessed with
peace and understanding

holy season.

women leave their offices much less
arrive home. But decorating at night
is asking for trouble, so make time to
decorate during the daytime.
Decorating during the day makes it
easier to see potentially problematic
power lines, and the weather likely
won’t be as harsh during the daytime
as it will be at night, reducing your
risk for injury.
• Never decorate alone. When
decorating, always have someone
nearby in case of emergency. Falling
from a ladder can cause serious
harm, but having someone there to
hold the ladder can reduce your risk
of falling. In addition, a decorating
partner can contact emergency
personnel should you suffer an injury
and become unable to reach the
telephone.
• Trim trees before decorating.
Winter might not be the ideal time to
trim trees, but streaming lights on
overgrown trees could pose a
significant safety risk. A tree that
hasn’t been trimmed might have
grown close to power lines. When
that tree is covered in holiday lights,
contact with the power line could
electrify the tree, potentially causing
property damage or personal injury
to anyone within close proximity to
the affected tree. If you’re worried
about trimming a tree outside of its
recommended trimming season, do
not decorate that tree with any lights.
• Strategically place lights. Lights
should never conceal a window, and
the cords should never be run across
walkways or steps. Lights that are
strewn across a window pose a safety
hazard should a fire occur at the
home and window escape is needed.
Cords that have been run across
walkways and steps pose a tripping
hazard, especially if a light snowfall
makes it difficult for family members
or guests to see the cords on the
ground.
• Make sure the lights are not on
when no one is home. This makes the
home safer at night and will save you
a substantial amount of money.

Time to get away
Knox United Church in Belgrave held its annual Christmas Getaway for parents on Saturday,
bringing in community children for an afternoon full of activities and games to keep them busy.
