00:00.520 --> 00:01.353
- Ho ho ho!

00:01.353 --> 00:05.510
I'm Safety Santa, and with
me today I have Hap Hazard,

00:05.510 --> 00:09.960
my number one elf, and also
Bobber, the water safety dog.

00:09.960 --> 00:11.570
Good boy, good boy.

00:11.570 --> 00:14.570
This Christmas and New Year
we want you to stay safe

00:14.570 --> 00:17.869
at home and when visiting
US Army Corps of Engineers

00:17.869 --> 00:21.470
recreation areas, hiking
trails, and when boating and

00:21.470 --> 00:24.990
fishing on a lake, or when
close to the shoreline.

00:24.990 --> 00:28.133
- And that's why we always wear our PFD's.

00:29.400 --> 00:33.470
- At home make sure to water
live Christmas trees each day,

00:33.470 --> 00:36.750
and be sure to keep them
away from any heat sources.

00:36.750 --> 00:39.830
Inspect all holiday lights
to ensure they're not frayed

00:39.830 --> 00:42.260
or in any type of disrepair.

00:42.260 --> 00:45.810
Also, be very careful
when deep-frying food

00:45.810 --> 00:49.130
and never, ever put
frozen food into hot oil.

00:49.130 --> 00:51.900
It's a recipe for disaster.

00:51.900 --> 00:52.733
- Burn baby.

00:54.120 --> 00:56.160
- Remember that alcohol never mixes

00:56.160 --> 00:57.600
with boating and driving.

00:57.600 --> 01:00.450
When behind the wheel,
don't drink and drive.

01:00.450 --> 01:05.370
I myself prefer to only drink
milk, with cookies, of course.

01:05.370 --> 01:07.203
And Bobber loves water.

01:08.860 --> 01:11.810
But I always make sure
Hap Hazard calls a cab

01:11.810 --> 01:14.130
when he spikes the egg
nog after all the toys

01:14.130 --> 01:16.760
have been delivered under every tree.

01:16.760 --> 01:20.950
At Corps lakes, Safety
Santa, Bobber, and Hap Hazard

01:20.950 --> 01:22.500
want you to wear a life jacket

01:22.500 --> 01:24.363
just like the one Bobber's wearing.

01:25.220 --> 01:27.540
It's the number one thing
you can do to stay safe,

01:27.540 --> 01:31.303
especially with frigid
temperatures and water.

01:32.220 --> 01:34.700
Whatever you choose to do
for fun this holiday season

01:34.700 --> 01:39.060
take it from Safety Santa,
avoid unnecessary risks.

01:39.060 --> 01:41.310
Taking chances means
you could hurt yourself

01:41.310 --> 01:42.940
or someone you love.

01:42.940 --> 01:45.040
From all of us at the North Pole,

01:45.040 --> 01:46.460
and the Corps of Engineers,

01:46.460 --> 01:48.833
have a blessed and safe holiday season.
