Christmas Articles - Another Christmas, Another Ice Patch

Most people feel uncomfortable when it comes to wearing bulky shoes. They’re just big and obnoxious and remind us of the shoes clowns wear. But there is a solution to getting rid of the ice on your doorstep.

Most importantly, don’t let snow turn into ice or become packed.

Shoveling snow quicker than normal can help get rid of those hateful ice patches in your driveway. If you also sprinkle the driveway with salt, your safety boosts up to 95 per cent.

The other five per cent is accountable to those days where clumsiness just gets the best of you.

Even reindeer are clumsy sometimes. It seems the only way we get presents for Christmas is if the reindeer slip on a patch of ice on our roofs.

But believe it or not, Santa Claus is not a tumbler on ice. With rugged and gargantuan black boots, Mr. Claus could be the perfect spokesman for a shoe store in the winter season.

Image also doesn’t seem to be a priority for the jolly fellow, who wears a bright red suit and a large belt that could make a few Texans jealous.

But when it comes to ridding the world of ice, there’s not much people can do. Winter comes and goes, and so does ice. Our lives may be full of instances where we end up flat on our back, but there are little things we can do to prevent those occurrences.

Don’t count on a genie with three wishes to help make your life easier, because even the genie will say “ice is not man’s best friend”.
