According to The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, there were 15,000 injuries involving holiday decorating in 2012, and that was the fourth consecutive year that injuries increased. According to my math, that means there will be over 87 bajillion injuries in 2022. Don’t be one of them. Don’t be stupid with ladders and electricity, and watch your back—you’re not as young and spry as you used to be, champ. Watch out for your cat eating tinsel, your child breaking ornaments, and extra sharp wings on nativity angels. Remember: Candles can burn down all of our houses, whether we’re celebrating Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, or the Inti Raymi winter solstice festival of the ancient Inca.
