Dear Ann Landers cautions readers that Christmas hazards injure thousands, urging fire and electrical safety for trees lights and ornaments. The column recounts safety tips from the Federal Consumer Product Safety Commission and includes separate readers’ letters on wedding gifts, unexpected divorce, teen weight loss, and advice on dieting under physician guidance.
Louise Cook advises careful shopping for Christmas trees as prices rise. Look for symmetry, freshness, dark green color, and a strong evergreen scent. Check needle rigidity, sap on the stump, and ensure a fresh cut for water absorption. Store in a cool place, water daily, and discard when shedding needles. Artificial trees need heat avoidance and stable stands.
