The chestnuts may be roasting on an open fire, but it's going to take more than that to keep your family warm during the winter holidays. Frigid temperatures can be downright dangerous, which is why it's important to ensure you've taken plenty of precautions for preventing frostbite and all of the other issues associated with exposure to cold weather.
With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, your family may find themselves outdoors more, whether by necessity or choice. Here are some timely tips for staying safe. When getting your kids dressed, layer, layer and layer some more. The first layer should consist of a wicking fabric that prevents the skin from chapping or drying. Top that with clothing made from wool or fleece. Always don hats with ear covers. It's important to keep heads and feet warm as the body can lose up to 40 percent of the body's heat through the head. While you want your children to be nestled in warm clothing, make sure that clothing isn't too tight, especially winter boots.
