Holiday Safety

It's that time of year again; time to deck the halls, hang the stockings and create your very own winter wonderland. However, before you jingle your first bell, you should develop a holiday safety plan for your family and home.

Your plan should start with your tree. If it is a natural Christmas tree, keep it away from heavy traffic so it won't be bumped into. Make sure the tree is protected from heaters, stoves and fireplaces, and never use lighted candles to decorate a live or artificial tree.
