b'Hi and welcome to Day 1 of my 12 Day Of Christmas series. The holiday season is always special, and it\\u2019s important that everybody stays safe during this joyous and wonderful time of the year. Here are few things to keep in mind, so that you can stay safe.\\n\\nTips While Shopping:\\n\\u2022\\tPark in a well-lit area and be sure to have your keys out, before going to your car so you aren\\u2019t digging for them and not watching what\\u2019s going on around you.\\xa0\\n\\u2022\\tMake sure you lock your vehicle and be sure to keep anything of value locked in your trunk.\\n\\u2022\\tStay off your phone, so you can pay attention to your surroundings.\\xa0\\n\\u2022\\tMen need to keep your wallet in your front pocket, and women need to keep your purses in front of you at all times.\\xa0\\n\\u2022\\tAlways keep your little ones with you. Never let them wonder off, no matter what.\\xa0\\n\\u2022\\tKeep an eye out for anything that doesn\'t look right and don\'t hesitate to call the police.\\n\\nTips For Traveling:\\n\\u2022\\tMake sure you contact the Post Office to have your mail stopped, while you are gone.\\xa0\\n\\u2022\\tLet your neighbor know you are going out of town and ask them to keep an eye on your house while you are gone.\\xa0\\n\\u2022\\tDo not share your vacation plans all over social media. This is how people end up getting robbed.\\xa0\\n\\u2022\\tUse an automatic timer for your indoor and outdoor lights.\\n\\nTips For When You Are At Home:\\n\\u2022\\tAlways keep your doors and windows locked.\\n\\u2022\\tTear down gift boxes before you put them in the recycling can; this way people won\\u2019t know what\\u2019s in your home.\\n\\u2022\\tPlace your live tree\\u2019s away from all heat sources (i.e., fireplaces and vents), to avoid drying it out.\\n\\u2022\\tMake sure you always have water in your tree stand. This will keep your tree from drying out and staying healthy.\\xa0\\n\\u2022\\tMake sure you keep candles or other open flames, away from burnable materials.\\n\\u2022\\tNever leave your stove unattended, while cooking.\\n\\u2022\\tMake sure you properly dispose of your live Christmas tree, after you take it down. Dried trees are a fire hazard and should not be left in your home or garage.\\n\\u2022\\tTry not to overload electrical outlets, because this could cause your cords to overheat and start a fire.\\n\\nTips For Having Packages Delivered:\\n\\u2022\\tTo avoid package theft, consider having your packages sent to your job, a friend\\u2019s house, a family members house or an Amazon Locker. Or better yet, make sure you are home when your package or packages are delivered.\\n\\u2022\\tTrack your deliveries so you know when they will arrive.\\n\\u2022\\tIf you won\\u2019t be home when your package is going to be delivered, ask your neighbor to get it off your porch and hold it for you.\\n\\nTips If You Plan On Drinking:\\n\\u2022\\tBe mindful of how much you drink and never drink and drive.\\n\\u2022\\tIf you can\\u2019t find a ride with someone who is sober, take public transportation (i.e. a taxi, a friend, a family member, Uber or Lift).\\n\\nPlease be sure to subscribe and support my Podcast.
