When you begin the laborious but exciting process of holiday decorating this season, the emphasis should definitely be on safety. Thousands of accidents are reported each and every year from people making simple mistakes when decking the halls. Make sure your ladders are stable and that you stay well below the top step. Always take caution with electrical decorations, such as string lights and spotlights. Inside your home, keep flammable items away from your tree. Never place too many plugs into one socket. Also, keep a fire extinguisher handy for decorating and cooking fires that might ignite.
