Instead of encouraging people to be overly cautious during the silly season, we wanted to share our injury prevention tips in a more interesting way.

Based on the traditional Christmas song we all know and love, we created a video series featuring 12 weird and not so wonderful injuries we saw from last Christmas, and tips on how to avoid them!

Give our 12 Days of ACC Christmas video series a watch. From everyone at ACC we hope you have a very Merry Christmas and happy new year.

Ann from Havelock North

If you live anywhere near them check your pool filters and check your air-conditioning as the fluff is like kapok and highly flammable. It blocks your aircons.

Have you already adapted to a plastic bag-free life or will this mean big changes in your household? What are your tips and tricks for ensuring the ban doesn't cause havoc when you hit the shops?
