Thinking about holiday safety issues on two different scales ...

"According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, injuries from plastic packaging resulted in 6,400 visits to emergency rooms in 2004." -- from "Do Not Pry Open Until Christmas: The Hard Truth About Hated 'Clamshell' Packaging", by Margaret Webb Pressler in The Washington Post, 2006-11-30 (Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] cchan8 for pointing it out.)

And:

"According to the page that explains how NORAD tracks Santa Claus, Rudolph's nose gives off an infrared signature similar to a missile launch. In THEORY, this would mean that an enemy could sneak a missile into the U.S. or Canada, as long as it followed Santa's trajectory." -- [livejournal.com profile] dakiwiboid, 2006-12-24

And a merry (and safe!) Christmas, to all who celebrate it in whatever fashion!
