Holiday Hazards

A new study from Children's Hospital Boston's Division of Emergency Medicine has found that holiday decorations, particularly glass ornaments, are one more safety hazard parents must consider during the season. A review of records from Children's Emergency Department revealed an average of five ornament-related injuries per year; more than half of these injuries involve a child eating fragments of these ornaments, including batteries and pieces of glass.

It's the greatest time of the year kids. Could you please stop eating the ornaments?! Honestly, you've got hot chocolate, pumpkin pie, egg nog, etc. Kids these days...

Have a safe holiday season! It's been great!
