Gifts in cars. Don't leave them on the car seat or in plain view. Please put them in the trunk. Don't flash your cash and always keep your purse with you. If you're going to go into the woods or to a Christmas tree farm to cut your own tree make sure your pickup, car and kids aren't in the direction of the tree when it falls.
Spouses are optional.
I did a few years ago. If you put lights on your tree, make sure the light bulbs aren't touching the presents. It could start a fire. Turn your tree lights off before you go to bed. Be on time and if you're taking a food dish such as chicken, cook it yourself.
