Avoid Griswold-like Disasters this Christmas
I don’t know about you but Christmas is one of our favorite times of year, especially when the Christmas tree is up and the neighborhood is full of lights. Here are some tips to keep you and your family safe while decorating the inside, and outside of your house this holiday season.
-Pick your tree carefully: Fresh Christmas trees should have needles that resist being pulled off and do not snap when bent. The trunk should be sticky with resin and the branches should be strong with minimal needle dropping when shaken. Since dry trees are an increased fire hazard choosing a fresh tree will insure your tree doesn’t dry out as quickly. Make sure to check the water levels every day and hydrate when needed.
