Deck the Halls Safely - MPIRE Properties' Guide to Holiday Safety

Alan Burton • December 4, 2023

Tis the season to be jolly, and here at MPIRE Properties, we want to ensure that your holiday celebrations are not only festive but safe as well. As you adorn your homes with twinkling lights and beautifully decorated Christmas trees, it's important to keep safety in mind. In this blog post, we'll share some valuable tips to help you enjoy the magic of the season while ensuring the safety of your home and loved ones.




  1. Choose the Right Tree: If you’re selecting a real Christmas tree, opt for one with vibrant, green needles that are difficult to pull off and don't break easily. Make a fresh cut at the base before placing it in a sturdy stand, ensuring it stays hydrated throughout the holiday season.


  1. Fire Safety: Keep your Christmas tree away from heat sources such as radiators, fireplaces, and heating vents. Ensure that your tree is watered regularly to prevent it from drying out, reducing the risk of fire. Consider using LED lights, which emit less heat than traditional incandescent lights.

  2. Lights Check: Before adorning your home with lights, inspect them for any frayed wires, damaged sockets, or broken bulbs. Replace any faulty strands to reduce the risk of electrical fires. Turn off decorative lights when you're away from home or heading to bed.

  3. Secure Decorations: Whether you're hanging ornaments on the tree or decorating the mantelpiece, ensure that all decorations are securely fastened. This prevents them from falling and posing a tripping hazard or causing breakages.

  4. Mindful Placement: Be strategic about where you place your Christmas tree. Avoid blocking exits or creating obstacles in high-traffic areas. This not only enhances safety but also allows everyone to fully enjoy the festive atmosphere.

  5. Childproofing: If you have little ones, consider securing the Christmas tree to prevent it from toppling. Keep breakable ornaments out of reach, and opt for child-friendly decorations. Be mindful of small, detachable parts that could pose a choking hazard.

  6. Emergency Preparedness: Familiarize yourself with the location of fire extinguishers and emergency exits in your home. Ensure that smoke detectors are in working order, and have a well-defined evacuation plan in case of any emergencies.


At MPIRE Properties, your safety and well-being are our top priorities. By following these Christmas safety tips, you can create a festive and secure environment for you and your loved ones to enjoy the magic of the holiday season. Wishing you a joyous and safe Christmas from all of us at MPIRE Properties!
