Trim trees and bushes: Keep your home landscaping from providing useful cover for intruders attempting holiday break-ins. Tall trees or high brush give burglars dark, shadowy hiding spots to conduct their business without interruption. Keep your front yard's bushes and hedges cut low, especially around windows and entryways where burglars may perch before breaking and entering.

Cooking is the number one cause of home fires....Here are a couple of tips to keep your family safe. 1. Assure microwaves have enough room to breathe, that all the vents are cleared of obstructions. 2. If there is a microwave fire, keep the door closed and unplug the microwave.

Window warnings: Nowhere else is your home more fragile or susceptible to a forced holiday break-in than at your windows. How you secure your windows is up to you, but it's important to keep in mind that occupants must be able to open them easily in the event of a fire. Therefore, the security device you choose should not lock you in the building, but only keep burglars out.

Burglars know to look for the hidden door key near the front entrance. Don’t hide spare keys under rocks, in flowerpots, or above door ledges. Instead give the spare key to a trusted neighbor.
