With just a few days till Christmas, it's a hectic time. You're out shopping, at parties, running last minute errands...

Here are some tips for keeping your home, and especially your family, safe during the holidays:

1. If you're having packages delivered when you aren't home, coordinate with your neighbors so they're not sitting out on your porch for hours.

2. Lock your car doors and DO NOT leave packages in there, even if it's parked in your driveway.

3. If your tree is on display next to an open window, DO NOT put the presents under it until Christmas Day.

4. Always keep your tree watered. A dry tree can go up in flames in seconds.

5. And on that note, create - and always have - an emergency plan for what to do if a fire breaks out anywhere in your home. And make sure every family member knows the plan, even if that means practicing it a few times with your kids.

Ho, ho, ho, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
