Real Christmas trees are often the heart of the home. But they need to be well-watered throughout Christmas so they’re less likely to catch fire or burn quickly. If your tree becomes dry, remove it right away.

Plus, whether your tree is real or fake, don’t forget to:
• Keep it away from heat sources and candles
• Avoid overloading sockets
• Turn off the fairy lights before you go to bed or go out
• Remember to test your smoke alarms
