Avoid driving alone or at night. Remember to always keep your doors locked and windows closed when you leave your car. You should always try and park in a well-lit area and never leave your car with the motor running or with children inside. Also, you should never leave packages or valuables in sight. When returning to your vehicle, keep a tight hand on your purse or bags. If you ever feel uncomfortable returning to your car alone, stop and ask for assistance from a store employee. Most importantly, never drink and drive.

Be sure all doors and windows are locked when leaving the house. If you plan on leaving your home for a long period of time, ask a neighbor or friend to look after your house and pick up your mail. Try leaving a small light on in the house and never have presents or valuables visible through the windows or doors. Be aware that criminals sometimes can pose as couriers delivering gifts, so be cautious of strangers who come to your door.
Decorating Safety
Inspect holiday lights each season and throw away any that seem frayed, cracked or that have a loose connection. Remember to turn off your holiday lights when either leaving the house or going to bed. If you are buying a live tree, try to purchase a freshly cut tree as they are more resistant to catching on fire. Make sure to water your tree regularly and keep open candles or flames far away.
No matter where you might be this holiday season, you should always be alert and aware of your surroundings. Take the time to slow down and enjoy the holiday season while protecting yourself and loved ones. Wishing you a great holiday season from all of us at Berger and Green.
