The three-day Christmas holiday begins at 6 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 23, and ends at midnight, Sunday, Dec. 26.

The National Safety Council en­ courages persons who attend holiday parties to drink moderately, if at all, if they plan to drive. If a group of per­ sons goes to a party together, one person should be the "designated driver". That person should refrain from drinking, and be responsible for driving everyone home. In addition, travelers are urged to drive defensively, obey the posted speed limit, allow extra travel time, and use safety belts.
