Here come the holidays
It's almost time for the first in a series of highly anticipated holidays, bringing with them their rituals, traditions and celebrations among families, friends, even strangers. Approach these holidays with a new perspective....make them safe. Read the post below on Holiday safety, and consider giving a gift of safe home planning this year. While my book hasn't sold record breaking copies (really hard without a publicist/publisher), those that HAVE read it have said the following: I loved your book..I am working through each chapter and my wife and I are making changes, creating lists, etc. We live in a log home, in a wooded area, and your tips have really made us look at everything in a new light...Mike E., St. Louis, MO........and another.....I was so inspired by your book that this year, I am giving each of my sisters and my son a copy of your book in one of those plastic storage tub you recommend, with a home fire extinguisher, a note pad, and a disposable camera...I hope they will be safe, and I hope my gift conveys how important they all are to me...Peggy B., Cape Girardeau, MO...

I know this is older post, but let us consider the next upcoming holiday (the 4th of the July). There are more fires reported during this holiday than any other holidays. Simple safety measures can be taken to prevent the unthinkable from happening.
Danielle,
Thanks for the post. You are so right. With wild fires burning in Arizona, it's a perfect time to consider the dangers of summer campfires, summer grilling fires, and summer fireworks. Respect these pleasures, and respect the conditions around any fire source. Dry grass, leaves, clippings, and other flammables are instant danger for summer fires.
Don't leave any appliances on when you leave the house! Always make sure they are completely off! Wherever your heat comes from, (pellet stove, wood burner), always check that everything is in the right place and working properly!
Olivia is exactly right. Don't leave the house with a fire burning in the fireplace,either. And while holiday lights are lovely, turn off those inside when you leave the home. Thanks, Olivia
