Ahh, Christmas! It can be the most dangerous time of the year for dogs and cats.
Let's face it, the holidays can be a stressful and busy time for us, so imagine how your dog feels! Lots of extra cooking, Christmas decorations, chocolates, bright lights, scented seasonal plants and a tree right in the house are just some of the temptations that could prove disastrous to your dog. What are some of the things to watch for and how can you minimize the dangers?
Too much - and the wrong - food
The holidays are a time when dogs can end up with serious digestive problems according to experts. There are four main reasons for this:
1. Rich, spicy human food that can make them sick. A dog that gets into leftover turkey for example, can be in real trouble - bones, greasy meat, string and fatty gravy are a certain prescription for diarrhea or worse.
2. Access to human food that can literally poison your dog (alcohol, chocolate, macadamia nuts, raisins) just to name a few. The ASPCA website has a complete list of common foods and household chemicals that are poisonous to your pets.
3. Too many treats. We usually buy dogs toys and treats, and so do guests, so be careful to dole them out slowly. No need to have that entire box of doggie-dingalings finished off before New Year's Eve!
4. Stuff that dogs just plain shouldn't eat, like tinsel, toothpicks, wrapping paper, ribbon, turkey bones, tin foil, broken glass ornaments and more.
Too little supervision
During the commotion of the holidays, dogs and children generally have less supervision than they need, so can get injured when they're underfoot in a busy kitchen. They may try chewing on sharp plastic packaging or trying out that new toy you got Junior. Wrapping paper and ribbon can be very attractive to dogs, who may be tempted to chow down on them.
Almost all holiday decorations can be bad for dogs: from the seasonal plants such as holly leaves, berries, poinsettias, mistletoe and amaryllis (all of which are highly toxic) to that full-size tree in the house.
Glitter, tinsel, angel hair, ribbon, glue and plastic have a mysterious attraction for dogs, and if eaten in large amounts, can result in serious intestinal blockage. The little wire ornament hooks - also inexplicably attractive to our canine friends - can easily perforate innards.
The hazardous Christmas tree
The tree in particular can be one big potential disaster, especially if it's live. Pine needles are very irritating to the pet's mouth and stomach, and if you treat the tree water to slow down needle drop, be sure to cover that water. It contains poisonous preservatives and pine tar, a deadly brew for animals. One solution is to cover the base with a tree skirt and some packages or look for one of the new tree bases that's more enclosed.
A male dog may be very interested in marking your beautiful Christmas tree and in the process could knock it over. Lots of packages spread around the base of the tree could keep him away but better still, consider anchoring the tree to the wall with two discrete cup hooks and wire.
If you have a dog, then popcorn strings or strung berries, candy canes and chocolates are out for decorations - they're just too tempting.
Sparkling, coloured lights - yummy!
Another common cause of injury over the holidays is light cords. Dogs can get entangled in them and again, pull the tree over. Sometimes dogs will chew them, shorting out the wire which results in a nasty burn or even electrocution. Gather the chords up and attach them with wire to the trunk of the tree, higher up and out of reach. Apple Bitter, which is extremely distasteful to dogs, can be lightly painted on the wires to keep him away; it's available at most larger pet stores and is completely harmless.
Dangers just outside the door
Outdoors, there are more holiday hazards lurking: from antifreeze and ice melters to more cords to chew through. In the ruckus of a party, a dog can be forgotten and left outside a little too long, suffering from hypothermia. And, as guests come and go, a dog can quickly dash out the door and run away before anyone notices. If you have a super small dog, the stress and off-schedule mealtimes can lead to hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) shock, so keep his meals on time.
Anyone considering a puppy to surprise the family at Christmas can see from this short list, that this is not the right time to introduce a new animal into your home. Absolutely, positively not the right time.
Stick to your dog's routine
So how do you protect your dog, short of canceling Christmas altogether? First, try your best to stick to the dog's routine, especially regular walks. An exercised dog is a better behaved dog all round, so grab a walk whenever you can. The bonus - it will help reduce your own stress levels too.
Give your dog some time outs
You may want to remove your dog from the party central action if things get too hectic. A quiet room or his crate, is a far better solution than a stressed-out dog. Don't assume your partner or someone else is watching the dog; be explicit about who's in charge and plan ahead for the dog's needs (a walk in the middle of your dinner party? better reschedule that one).
Plan ahead
For an ounce or two of prevention, make sure your dog has his tag on at all times, with your current phone number on it. Check out which emergency vets will be open in your area over the holidays and stick that number up on the fridge. And most of all, take some time to stop and enjoy the most wonderful time of the year with your cherished pet!

Make Christmas Ornaments In Your Spare Time
Christmas also brings along relaxing vacations. You should try and utilize this time in making beautiful home made Christmas ornaments. This goes especially for young school going kids. Help your parents with Christmas ornaments. This will make you more creative and generous. Also, when parents involve children into festivity traditions, they in turn, inculcate their values and traditions into the child. Take them along for festivity shopping. This is how the legacy goes on. If your child will notice certain customs today, only then shall he be able to put them in his children. This is the best way to keep our future generations, in touch with our customs and values. Kindergarten kids learn very fast. Don't think your child is too young to learn.
Christmas ornaments can be decorated anywhere in the house. You can even put them outdoors. Adorn your front door with beautiful Christmas ornaments. Decorating the entire house can be very strenuous. I have observed that people make outdoor decorations only for night time. Glowing lights look mesmerizing at night. Make some more decorations visible during the day. Adorn your trees. Christmas comes only once in a year. Festive season must never be kept dull. Celebration brings home more joy and prosperity.
Hand painted glass ornaments look splendid on Christmas trees, doors and dining tables. You can also paint pines and shells to make your own ornaments. Try to make some great beaded ornaments this time. Collect beautiful beads all through out the year. This can be fun. You will find, every time you come across beautiful beads, Christmas ornaments would be the first thing you would ever think of! This also distributes your Christmas expenses. Use things like metal foils, sticks, and colored papers to make Christmas ornaments. Choose a chocolate theme for your Christmas. Make chocolate candies and cookies. Make home-made chocolates and wrap them finely. Put chocolates and candies into cute baby socks and adorn your Christmas tree with them. Angel Christmas ornaments look pretty. Paper stars are very economical and look stunning. Sprinkle some cotton flakes to give a snowy effect to your house. Choose to decorate your Christmas tree with a theme. Design your Christmas ornaments according to your chosen theme. Our region and nativity plays a significant role in our Christmas celebration. Try and experiment, to make your festival more vivacious. Leave your comfort zone and show some zest for the festival.

Sweet. Got a picture of your ride Greg?
Several reasons: no modern car comes with these features as standard. Older cars are expensive to maintain and hard to get. And i won't be making all the modifications in one go: when i'm not working on it i'll be driving it

2011 Hyundai Equus
The Basics: Hyundai is becoming a harbinger of doom for other car brands. The Elantra's elbowed the Civic aside as one of the most frequently-recommended compact cars. The Sonata's near the top of the family-sedan ranks, and with the Genesis, Hyundai aped Lexus' first steps by introducing a luxury sedan at an eye-popping price, and fitting it with...
