Regardless of your destination or activity for Thanksgiving Day holiday weekend, ensure safety is forefront in your planning.
Perhaps it is the combination of family gatherings and personal experiences that make Thanksgiving a welcome reprieve just before the rush of Christmas and the year's end. However, such gatherings are not without risk.
Many will use the long weekend to work on projects around the home - perhaps installing holiday decorations is on your list. Check ladders for stability and be aware that improperly used tools can cause injury.
If your plans are to travel - always obey the rules of the road and wear your seatbelts. Limit distractions in vehicles while traveling - especially in cars equipped with electronic devices, including cell phones, video games and global positioning systems.
