Our View: Safely celebrate the holidays

The week between Christmas and New Year’s often involves holiday parties.

Whether it’s New Year’s Day, New Year’s Eve or some time between now and then, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll participate in a holiday party. In many cases, that means alcoholic beverages will be served.

There’s nothing wrong with adults 21 years of age and older celebrating the holiday season with an alcoholic beverage or two, but there’s plenty wrong with driving a motor vehicle after having too much to drink.

What do you think of people using fireworks near their homes?

That shouldn't be tolerated. It's dangerous.
I'd never do it, but I'll watch others.
It's OK so long as the fireworks are legal.
It's not a problem. It's just a way to celebrate.
I have no opinion.
