Well, dear readers, the Christmas holiday is a mere four
days away. We at Site for
Sore Eyes Berkeley hope that those who celebrate will have a joyous and
memorable holiday.
This is a time of hustle and bustle (but happy hustle and
bustle, we hope). Despite how organized your Christmas list is, there is always
one gift that has to be bought at the last minute. With traffic heavier than
usual and crowds galore, the feeling of being busy is heightened.
In this season of gift giving, we wish to remind you that
the sense of vision is a gift; one that can easily be taken for granted. And
when we hurry around, there is more risk of accidents occurring – even in our
own homes.
(Not to sound like the Christmas Spirits of Past, Present
and Future, but they haunted Ebenezer Scrooge for his own good, so please, let
Site for Sore Eyes do some good for you – and we promise not to wake you up at
midnight in the process. )
Take care when hanging ornaments; and let’s be honest – who
hasn’t dropped a shiny, glittery decoration to have it explode into little (and
sharp) pieces? Mind those countless needles on the branches of your Christmas
tree are as they pose potential danger, too. Drape the lights around the tree slowly
and carefully. And if you have a fireplace and chimney, well – we think you
know. And parents – pay hawk-like attention to your kids as they jump, run, and
romp in all of their Christmas excitement.
Remember: gifts can be replaced if broken. Replacing your
vision is not so easy. Your eyes are powerful, but fragile (no, that is not an
Italian word, as fans of A Christmas
Story will tell you), so take care of them.
Get the idea? Good – and thanks!
And so, please accept the warmest wishes from Site for Sore Eyes Berkeley.
May your contact lenses sparkle, may your eyeglasses shine, and may your
Christmas day be safe and sublime!
