Holiday Preparation and Electricity

Christmas preparations began early this year ... outdoor lights setup before Thanksgiving ... but most of the work was done during the long Thanksgiving Day weekend.

Neighbors came over to help make cookies and assemble gingerbread houses. Frosting got everywhere ... including on one chef's face.

  

Trimming the Christmas Tree was next.

Electricity and The Light

Pictured below is a light that was either stepped on or otherwise broken. Notice that this is an older incandescent variety bulb.

First Victim: Sara sliced her finger on the glass that was broken around the bulb.

Second Victim: RJ was determined to help by getting the bulb out of the socket. He did this while the lights were plugged in. Turns out that 110V with 15amps was ready to begin flowing through the broken filaments when a circuit was completed. This left two pin hole burn marks on RJ's fingers. Unfortunately I did not get a picture of the burn marks because they were healed by the next morning.
