#12DaysofHolidaySafety

On the Fifth Day of Christmas…make your tree safe.

When buying a real tree, check that it is fresh (needles are hard to pull off and branches bend without breaking). Cut 4 centimeters off of the bottom of the tree before placing in water. Be sure to water the tree daily – trees can consume up to four litres of water a day. Place the tree away from high traffic areas, doorways, heating vents, radiators, stoves, fireplaces and burning candles. If young children are around, use safe decorations.
