Annual Holiday Safety Reminder!

Annual Holiday Safety Reminder!

It is of course the holiday season. Having formerly worked for the Pierce County Fire Prevention Bureau I want to give everyone some holiday safety tips. According to the USFA over 40 people die every year from holiday related fires. More than 1,650 are injured and over $990 million in damages occur.

1. First off WATER YOUR TREE! This video as been circulating for years but is well worth a watch:

2. Keep and eye on your open flames or candles!

3. Use indoor lights INDOORS and outdoors lights OUTDOORS. Use indoor extension cords INDOORS and outdoor extension cords OUTDOORS.

4. Do not overload electrical outlets.

If you could take your family on a road trip anywhere, where would you go and why?
I would go to Disneyland. Why? Because I love it! It is a fun, great, family place. I would take the LONG route though and go through Colorado and Idaho to visit my husband's family. Yes I know it is way out of the way of California. But that is the way we would go! I would love to pick them all up too and take them with us!

BUTTER SUGAR COOKIES

These are the BEST cookies I have ever had. From my friend April!
1 C. Butter (I’ve used margarine and it works great either way)
1-1/2 C. powdered sugar
1 egg
1 Tsp. vanilla
3 C. flour
1 Tsp. baking soda
1 Tsp. cream of tartar
½ Tsp. salt

Cream butter. Add powdered sugar and mix. Add egg and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients (I almost NEVER sift). Gradually add to mixture and combine into a ball. Roll out on a floured board or pasty cloth to 1/8 inch thickness.
Cut into desired shapes. Bake 9 – 10 minutes at 375 degrees.

*You can roll this cookie dough out many times and it always comes out flaky. Yummy!

My favorite Christmas song is Christmas Shoes.
I have never been in this situation before as the little boy or the lady in line. But hope that in either instance I would do the right thing or that someone would help me.
Yes it is a sad song but it is a great song that teaches us it is not about getting for the holiday season but about giving!
