You're soon to decorate your place for Thanksgiving and Christmas, aren't you? There are a few things that all apartmentites must keep in mind before embarking on your holiday decorating adventure.
Candles- You may not realize it, but candles (if allowed by your apartments) can be a safety hazard that you must be aware of. Never leave a candle burning when you are leaving the apartment or going to sleep. All it takes is one random act of nature to knock the candle over and send your place ablaze. Also, be very aware of your candle placement. Candles near the Christmas tree or the Menorah near the curtains = Bad! Make sure to keep an eye on your pets around open flames as well. I had a cat once who was completely entranced by the candle flame until he tried to bite it. Then he learned his lesson the hard way. Thankfully the whiskers grew back.
Porch/Patio Decoration- Keep these clutter free and make sure to check with your apartment management to see what stipulations they have on porch/patio decorations.
Christmas Lights- Always be sure that you follow proper electrical safety guidelines with your Christmas lights. Check each strand for tears in the wires or protective covering and discard them if you find any. Plug all strands into a surge protector rather than directly into the wall outlet. Decoratively...pick either one color and keep it consistent...or...do the multi-colored things, but do not mix in strands of only white lights...BE CONSISTENT! Otherwise it just has a tendency to look trashy.
Kids and Presents- Keep a watchful eye on your kids and the presents under the tree. There isn't a kid out there who won't jump at the chance to tear a corner of a present neatly to see whats inside and then effortlessly close it back up to make it appear to have never been tampered with.
Ornaments- While we are discussing kids, watch out for your ornaments. Kids and small animals love the sparkles of an ornament and I magically drawn to remove them from the tree and play with them like a toy. The sharp hooks that hang them on the tree can be a danger to both children and animals. Also, the bulbs break easily and can also pose a danger. I suggest using twist ties to hang your ornaments if you have small children, cats, or monkies in your apartment. Dogs tend to leave the ornaments alone, but drink out of the tree's water dish.
Music- Christmas music is festive and fun, but beware, too much of it will ruin your Christmas. You will find yourself bitter about that little drummer boy by the end of December if you aren't careful. Also, in apartments, remember that you have neighbors. If you are blasting Silent Night, they may be none too pleased and all may not be calm and bright.
Turkey Time- If you are entertaining for Thanksgiving, make sure to have a number of blankets and pillows around for your guests to cat nap after the chemicals in the turkey set in. During your shopping, make sure to get ziplock bags and small disposable containers so that you can send people home with left overs. Otherwise, you will end up with a fridge full of food...which isn't a terrible thing if you eat like me.
Keeping these simple tips in mind should help add to your safety this holiday season. You may also want to double check your locks every night and when you leave the apartment as break-ins increase during the holidays. It's even a good idea to vary the times that you come home everyday, so that if a crook is casing you...they are unable to see any sort of consistency.

Just the word Christmas movies reminds us of all the fun-filled holidays, turkey meals, house time and what not. That is the time when kids get to eat as much cookies as they want, all mischief by them goes unnoticed and even adults have fun. The only time in the year where we get to see all our relatives and friends in one place. And should never forget the glee and fun we share when we open our gifts. Anything as outrageous as a Bmw car to something as humble as a sweater is looked upon with the same happiness. So what do we do once we derive as a family....what else, we watch a Christmas movie.
