Winter Weather Driving Tips

Winter weather has arrived in California and that makes for some treacherous driving. This becomes even more problematic when combined with the fact that so many people will be traveling for the holidays.

Can You Cut Down Your Own Christmas Tree?

The Christmas tree is arguably one of the biggest and most important decoration for Christmas. The tree is an essential, central part of holiday décor. While most people are perfectly fine with getting their tree from a store, some people prefer to get a tree themselves.

The idea of going out into the woods to find the perfect tree can be very appealing to some people. However, it is important to note that a person cannot simply go out and chop down a tree wherever they want. A person looking to cut down their own tree needs to acquire the proper permit and make sure they are in the right area for cutting down a tree.

Without a Christmas tree, where would all of the presents be put? No Christmas decorating is complete without a Christmas tree. Unfortunately, with all of the beauty that comes with a Christmas tree, there is a bit of risk involved as well. Christmas trees are very flammable, and they only get worse the longer they are in a home.

Prevent a Fire in Your Home

Christmas trees are a beautiful and central part of Christmas decorating. Pretty much everyone who celebrates the holiday has a tree up in their living room. What type of tree they have is dependent on their preferences. Some people prefer the look and smell of a real tree while others prefer the convenience and safety of a fake tree. Both types have their advantages and disadvantages.

When it comes to real trees, there is always a fire hazard risk. Pine trees are very flammable, thanks to all of the oils in them, and they only get more flammable the drier they become. In order for a person to reduce the risk of their tree catching on fire in their living room, they should follow these tips:
