✨🎄 Light Up the Holidays Safely! 🎄✨ The holidays are here, and it’s time to deck the halls with sparkling lights! But remember, safety makes the season shine even brighter. 🌟 Before you start stringing up those festive lights, keep these important tips in mind to protect your home and loved ones: ✅ Inspect First - Double-check that your lights aren’t frayed or broken before using them. ✅ Outdoor-Grade Only - Use lights designed for outdoor use when decorating outside. ✅ Switch Them Off - Always turn off your lights before leaving the house or going to bed. ✅ Avoid Overloading - Don’t connect more than three strands of lights to a single extension cord. Keep the holiday cheer bright and stress-free! For more safety tips, visit https://rdcrss.org/3CGSG2u. ✨ #HolidaySafety #LightUpSafely #FestiveAndSafe 🎅🎄💡
