Keep lights away from water and other holiday decorations. Don't overload outlets and use extension cords only if absolutely necessary. Only lights manufactured for outdoor use should be placed outside, and holiday lights should never be left on when going out or to bed. Parents should also read instructions before children play with new, electric-powered toys, and ensure that the instructions are followed. Children should know to unplug electrical appliances by pulling on the plug, not by yanking the cord.
Electricity can make the holidays bright and festive.
