MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
|
"Bah Humbug"?? Have you ever heard that at this time of the year? Why do some folks feel that way rather than being Joyful and Appreciative? Could it be because we have been so materialistic for so long that we have forgotten the reason we should be Joyful. The birth of Jesus brought so much Joy into this world that it caused a choir of angels to sing "Glory to God in the highest and on earth Peace and Good Will toward men".
As we come to the close of another year, many folks around us are struggling. Take time to share your joy with them. Let them know you care about them. Reach out and touch them, because together we can do things that we cannot do alone. We at Seven Oaks Doors and Hardware are blessed because you have been such an important part of our lives. We look forward to helping you now and again through 2011. "Merry Christmas"!!
I appreciate you!

Christmas Tree Safety Tips
|
Protect your family and your neighbors with the following fire prevention tips:- When choosing a real tree, select the freshest-looking tree available. Test for freshness by gently grasping a branch between your thumb and forefinger and pulling it toward you. Very few needles should come off.
- Buy your tree early. Most tree lots receive only one shipment of trees. Trees don't become fresher sitting in a lot.
- If you don't plan on putting the tree up right away, make a one half inch fresh cut off the bottom of the trunk and place the tree in a five-gallon bucket of warm water. Store the tree in cool temperatures, but above freezing .
- If the tree has been stored for more than three days, prior to putting it up, make another one inch cut off the bottom of the trunk and immediately place the tree into a stand that holds at least a half-gallon of water.
- Keep the water level above the cut and check the water level daily. (Initially, a fresh tree may soak up a gallon of water per day.)
- No water additives, such as aspirin, sugar or commercial fire retardant, are necessary. Plain tap water is best!
- Place the tree away (at least three feet) from heating system air registers, fireplaces and other heat sources.
- Do not use lighted candles or other flaming devices on or near your tree.
- Whenever possible, use decorations made with flame-resistant, flame-retardant or non-combustible materials.
- Unplug the tree lights when out of the room and before going to sleep.
- Discard the tree immediately after the holiday.
