Stay Safe During the Holidays

Posted on December 23, 2024 by Mark the Spot Massage

Home fires are common during the holidays, many the result of holiday lighting.
Test your smoke detectors to make sure they’re working properly and replace any that have stopped working.

Keep live trees adequately watered. If you can pull needles from a tree with little effort, the tree needs more water.

If you’re using an artificial tree make certain that it is fire rated.

Look carefully at all strings of lights before you hang them. Replace any with frayed wiring. Covering frayed wires with electrical tape isn’t worth the risk to your home.

Stay Safe During the Holidays

Posted on December 16, 2024 by Mark the Spot Massage

One of the hazards of the holidays is theft. Robberies increase by 20% in December most years, and with the uptick in crime nationwide in the past 2 years, it may be higher this year.

To protect yourself, make certain you lock doors and windows in your car and your home. Check the doors and windows that aren’t used very often–garage side doors, back doors, basement windows.

Never leave your car running and return to the house even for a few minutes. A running car is a perfect crime of opportunity.

Consider hiring some help. If you need help with housekeeping before a big event in your home, consider hiring someone to help with the cleaning, outdoor clean up, or snow shoveling.

Managing Stress During the Holidays

Posted on December 3, 2024 by Mark the Spot Massage

Stay active, but not overly active. Say yes to events you can attend, and say no to those you cannot. Don’t fill your schedule so much that you don’t have time for you.
