Post-Holiday Season Tips

by on in Category 1

The holiday season is wrapping up.  This can be a relief after weeks of family, friends, food, shopping and joy.  While these activities are pleasurable, they can also be exhausting, and it is nice to return to a normal schedule after the holidays have ended.

Of course, with the holidays ending comes putting away all those Christmas decorations until next year. And just as it is a big job to unpack the décor for the season, so is it a big job to package it all back up again and store it. 

There are some tips that can make this process safer.  The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) has compiled a list of steps and measures you can take as you wrap up this holiday season.

1. Don’t leave your decoration up beyond the holiday season. They are meant only for temporary use.  Using them for too long may shorten their shelf life and cause them to pose an electrical hazard.


2. Your live tree is drying out a little each day.  This is normal, but combined with the electricity generated by the lights on your tree, the drying out is accelerated. Soon after the New Year, remove your live tree from your house and find a local program that will recycle your tree for you.

3.  Now is the time to ensure a safer holiday season next year.  You can do this by carefully inspecting your electrical lights for wear and tear.  If you see frayed areas, exposed wiring or cracked areas in the cords, dispose of them and buy new lights next year.  Worn-out wiring can post electrical and fire hazards. 1
