Holiday decorating is one of the season’s most joyful traditions, but it’s also a time to keep safety in mind, especially when including older loved ones. A few thoughtful adjustments can make the experience fun and safe for everyone.
🎄 Avoid trip hazards by keeping cords, ornaments, and décor away from walkways.
🎄 Check light strings and electrical cords for wear before plugging them in.
🎄 Use step-free decorating options: keep ornaments, wreaths, and lights at reachable heights.
🎄 Choose shatter-proof ornaments and stable furniture when decorating together.
🎄 Ensure good lighting while decorating to prevent slips or falls in dim areas.
🎄 Keep pathways clear of boxes, ladders, or wrapping materials during setup.
🎄 Take frequent breaks: decorating should be enjoyable, not exhausting.
With a little planning, holiday decorating can be both festive and safe, creating memories that shine bright for every generation.
