The holidays are all about gathering with loved ones to partake in good food, good fellowship and good cheer. To ensure everyone around your Christmas tree enjoys the seasonal festivities safely, follow these tips from the Electrical Safety Foundation. As the picture to the right reminds us, when using a live tree for decoration, make sure to water it regularly to keep it fresh — a dry tree can quickly become a fire hazard. Check all electrical cords for any rips, tears or fraying. If you find any, replace the cords, and never run them under furniture or rugs. When you're away from home or when you go to sleep, turn off all holiday lights and decorations. Similarly, if you use a space heater, never leave it unaccompanied. By following these tips, you can take a proactive approach to ensuring family and friends stay safe this Christmas.
