With Christmas less than two months away, many of us are already starting to think about how we are going to get our homes ready. For some people, Christmas is a very important time of the year and they may want to go all out with decorations. Last year was quite disappointing for many of us as we were not able to socialise as much as may of liked to which is why we can expect even more decorations this year.
When getting your home ready for the festive period it is very important to always think about safety. It is quite common to have lots of lights inside and outside your property so you need to be aware of the power you are using and how they are connected. You should try and avoid having multiple lights plugged in to the same socket or extension leads as this can be a fire risk. If you have outdoor lights, then make sure that you have an outdoor socket that you can use, never be tempted to run an extension lead outside and try and cover it with a bag as this is only asking for trouble.
