Top 5 Ways You’ll Hurt Yourself This Christmas

While out doing a bit of hunting this weekend, I took a pretty nasty tumble on the ice around our hunting area. Fortunately I bounced right back up and brushed myself off.

But then I thought, what a horrible way to spend the holidays - with a trip to the Emergency room.

After arriving at work this morning I came across a recent survey which actually lists the Top 5 ways we will hurt ourselves around Christmas.  One happened to me, and I hope none of these happen to you or anyone in your home.

Top 5 ways you'll hurt yourself this Christmas

#5 - Wrapping presents -Yes, somewhere someone has gotten injured while wrapping gifts to put under the tree.

#4 - Accidents traveling - with snow and more wind headed our way this Christmas, I certainly hope if you are traveling, that you will give yourself a bit of extra time and drive safely!

#3 - Participating in winter sports - enough said on this item.

#2 - Shoveling snow - remember to stretch first, before clearing the driveway and sidewalks.

and the number one way we are most likely going to get injured this Christmas is:

#1 - Slipping and Falling on Ice - I narrowly avoided this one this year.

I hope you have a Safe and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
