“Bundle up: Feeling cold? Wear a hat – 40 percent of body heat is lost from your head. Also, mittens that fit tightly at the wrist provide more warmth than gloves.  Deck the Halls Safely: Fires caused by decorative lights account for $7.9 million in property damages annually. Use safe lighting that’s tested, rated and stamped with the (UL)) label.  Celebrate Responsibly: Have a designated driver this holiday season.   Keep the Holiday Weight Off: Stay hydrated through the day so you don’t confuse thirst with hunger. Eat a healthy snack before a big meal to keep your appetite under control.”.
