With many families traditionally installing their trees and decorations tomorrow, December 1st, in today's article we are going to indicate the care you should have with your Christmas lighting.

Before application

Buy lights and decorations that are suitable and safe for the place where they are going to be applied.
Read and strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Carefully check each decoration before applying it, in order to detect any exposed wires or damaged plugs.
Choose LED lights as they are less hot to the touch and last longer than glass lights.
If items are repurposed from previous years, do careful maintenance and checking before installing them.

During application

Do not let cables get caught in doors, windows, or under heavy furniture, as this can damage the insulation.
Do not handle lights and decorations with wet hands or feet.
Do not place lights near furniture or items that can easily catch fire.
If you are going to decorate in a high place, use a ladder and make sure it is secure before using it.

After application

Always turn off all Christmas lights before leaving the house or going to sleep.
Do not leave children or pets unattended near Christmas decorations and lights.
Store Christmas lighting items in a dry, protected place.

If you follow all these tips, you can rest easy knowing that your home is safe during the holiday season. Relax and enjoy the magic that these decorations spread around your home.

Happy Holidays!
