I’m a mortician & mum but people call me the Grinch because so many Christmas snacks & decorations are banned in my home
A ‘SCARRED’ mortician and mum has revealed the exact Christmas decorations and snacks that are banned from her house.
Lauren took to TikTok to reveal the Christmas traditions she won’t be participating in until her children are older.
In a short video posted to her account, @lovee.miss.lauren, the mortician said: “Educational Content, Scarred Mortician Series.
“I have toddlers and these are popular Christmas decor choices we decided not to partake in until the kids are grown.”
Lauren’s first item on the banned list was glass ornaments as she said they break ‘super easily’ – a danger around little kids.
She also added metal ornament hooks to the banned list as they can be a choking hazard.
The mortician also added that garlands of any kind are strictly banned from her house.
And light up ornaments and fake tealight candles are also banned as they contain tiny button batteries.
Lauren also packs away any gingerbread houses with gumdrop decorations as they’re also a choking hazard.
Plus, she’s also put a ban on loose-string Christmas lights or ones with detachable bulbs.
Lauren also sticks to fake Christmas trees as small pine needles can often end up in small mouths, plus they’re highly flammable.
And of course, the mum has put a ban on popcorn, in another recent video, she explained why.
She said: “Have you ever eaten popcorn?
“You know those little kernels that get stuck in your teeth?
“That can also happen to your children.
“And those little pieces are so lightweight that they are so easily sucked up back into your oesophagus that you can aspirate on them or choke.”
She finished the video by saying: “Stay Grinchy bee-yotch.”
The video has seen been viewed over 60k times and people quickly took to the comments to share their opinions.
One wrote: “So no Christmas decorations at all.”
A second person commented: “Can we see your decor? I’m just curious what is left that is safe.”
A third penned: “It’s a miracle that my kids are still alive.”
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “At first I thought following was helpful but I had to stop following because it seems like everything is a hazard.”
