"Just a Reminder"










If you have a real Christmas Tree, Please remember to water it daily and make sure the lights do not over heat. Shut the lights when you leave the house....

A Story my father use to tell brought this to mind...

When he was about 7 or 8 electric Christmas lights were not yet in vogue and Nonna would not have bought them anyway. In those days people had real, yes real, candles clipped on the tree branches,,,the same way we string lights today. One night my father decided to light the candles and yes the tree caught fire....Luckily my grandfather got to it in time and tossed it out the window....needless to say all my father found in his stocking the next morning, was his foot.

So careful and have a safe Christmas.

You see... your Grandfather was ahead of his time. He crashed Windows, before computers were even made ;-)
