I'd deduct karma from you, but that would be childish.

He didn’t say anything about children dieing in Christmas fires. I think fireman would confirm that it’s foolish to leave naked flames and paper based decorations unattended and or children unsupervised at anytime. The same could be said of over doing the Christmas lights and overloading the standard domestic circuits. I don’t think anyone is that stupid to make jokes of such a distressing subject? I can tell you that a close friend died two years ago in a Christmas fire and five years before that a daughter of a friend lost a child and had another badly burned and scared by the same fire. She herself was also badly injured.
