Holiday decorations can add such warmth to a home. With a live Christmas tree in your house there are some precautions you should take to ensure a safe holiday season.
1. Christmas trees are easy to knock over. To prevent that from happening, just secure your tree stand to a large piece of plywood. This will give you a much sturdier base than the stand alone, and it will be covered up by your tree skirt so it won't look odd!
2. An easy way to water your tree is to string a piece of hose with a funnel at the top from your tree stand to the back of the tree. Put it at a reachable level. Then you can just pour water into the funnel.
3. When you're putting up lights, inside or out, make sure that you check the entire length of the wires for fraying and blown bulbs. This way when you string up the lights, you won't risk a fire.
4. It's also a good time of year to check your smoke detectors. This way, if there is a fire, your family will be able to get out.
