Buy reputable toys for the correct age group
Consider buying new decorative lights
Shorts in Christmas lights can cause Christmas tree and house fires
Older lights might not follow today’s stricter safety standards
Switch off lights before going to bed
Keep stairs free from clutterStepping over clutter on the stairs could mean a trip to the emergency room this holiday season so be sure the stairs and landings are clutter
free
Give yourself plenty of time to prepare your holiday meal
Christmas dinner is typically the biggest meal of the year, so it is important to carefully plan your meal to avoid injuries. Some dangers
present in the kitchen during the holidays include sharp knives, boiling water, and hot oil. Make sure that people, especially children, stay out
of the kitchen while you are cooking, and avoid drinking any alcohol until you are finished. Many Christmas cooking accidents happen when people are in a rush, so set aside plenty of time to prepare Christmas
dinner.
