One Dozen Tips for Safely Having a Decorated Christmas Tree at Home

Article by Dr. Marcelo M. Hirschler

  • If you use a natural Christmas tree, make sure you water it often (preferably every day).


  • Keep any Christmas tree clear of fireplaces, radiators, TV sets or other sources of heat.


  • Make sure your Christmas tree lights have a listing label (for example UL).


  • Before placing light strings on the Christmas tree, check that the lights work properly.


  • Before using, make sure your light cords have no frayed or bare wires or loose connections.


  • Before using, make sure your light cords have no cracks or broken or empty sockets.


  • Don't repair decorative lights; replace them to be safe rather than sorry.


  • Don't overload electrical circuits; use fused power strips and not multi-plug adapters.


  • Keep all paper products and packages away from the decorative lights.


  • Always turn your Christmas tree lights off before going to bed or leaving the house.


  • Keep light strings and other electrical decorations out of children's reach.


  • Candles are not recommended, but if you do use them, never, ever leave the tree unattended.
