Please remember to water your (real) Christmas tree.
While we don't want this to ever happen, at least if you have kept the water up to your tree the consequences could be a little less devastating.

Kids & pets locked in cars, a recipe for disaster
With hot days over the this weekend it is a timely reminder for people to be conscious of never leaving kids or pets locked in cars.
As temperatures soar this weekend, the risk of heatstroke and dehydration is very real for anyone left in a vehicle.
It may surprise people that leaving the windows down slightly has little effect on the inside temperature. Also, large cars heat up just as fast as smaller ones.
When getting out of your car get into the habit of turning and looking in the back of your car.
