On the 25th of December most of the world will be celebrating the birth of Jesus, the festivities will be widespread and each will be celebrating it in their own particular way, some will be partying the night away while others will be having family and friends round for dinner.
This year there will be some memorable moments as children play next to the Christmas tree, adults laughing, joking and watching some classic TV. However there is a serious side, for some people this will be a Christmas that will not be forgotten.
Christmas safety not only applies to making sure that all the plastic and paper wrapping is disposed of properly but that all their Christmas Lights are properly wired and that are safe for that purpose.
Let’s be honest, how many of us actually check all our Christmas decorations, each year we take them down bundle them into a box place them in the attic and forget them till the following December.
This year more people are going green and buying a real Christmas tree that can be replanted in the garden (this is great) but on a serious side these trees have to be kept moist, do not let them dry out as they become a fire hazard as you Christmas lights start to heat up.
If the instructions are followed properly this tree will give you years of enjoyment but as the video shows it only takes seconds to make this a Christmas to remember.

Christmas is potentially a hazardous time for house fires, that’s for sure. Christmas tree lights are extremely dangerous if not checked correctly, and all that wrapping paper with fires on high setting can be a potential danger too. Not to mention having too much to drink and not being so easy to wake up if your smoke alarm goes off!!
