-Fire prevention: Use flameless candles or keep a close eye on real candles, and keep them away from flammable materials. Water your Christmas tree regularly so it doesn’t dry out.
-Toxic plants/medications: Lock up medication, alcohol and cleaning supplies before company arrives. Some decorative holiday plants are toxic, including holly, poinsettias and mistletoe.
-Food allergies: If your child has allergies and isn’t old enough to keep track of what’s on the buffet table, keep an eye on them and their plate. If your child complains of a rash, has trouble breathing, or you notice anything out of the ordinary, call 911, your child’s doctor, or poison control.
