Check all electric lights and connections before decorating your tree and home. Do not use lights with worn or frayed cords and never use lighted candles on your tree. Don’t overload electrical circuits. Place your tree away from fireplaces, radiators, television sets, and other heat sources. These elements can prematurely dry your tree. And be sure to turn off all decorations before retiring at night and any time you leave home. Sensible precautions such as these will ensure a safe and happy holiday.
