IT IS OBVIOUS. Most of all my acquaintances have relatives who
died in winter. None have died from heat stroke, you daft bat.
On the other hand, I don't know anyone who has a relative who has died as
a result of cold or heat.

But I did have some neighbours who died in a fire one Christmas eve.
Tragic, only a young daughter survived the fire.

By your logic then, Christmas causes house fires.

People doing really stupid things at Christmas like using candles in
close proximity to flammable decorations and on Xmas trees certainly
do increase the incidence of house fires at Xmas. Statistically there
is an increase in house fires at or near Xmas. USFA reckon about 200
fires annually are started by Xmas trees for instance.

The fire risk is much higher if you don't keep the tree properly
watered. A dry fir tree burns very fast.

It boils down to, life causes death. Weather, water, fires, all of life
causes death. Ban Buckets and swimming pools or ban water? Somehow
people drowning is acceptable because we can't get rid of water, but
weather is different?
