Fires can cause devastation all year round, but this is heightened around Christmas with families potentially left homeless and possessions destroyed. We want to ensure Londoners take every precaution to prevent fires from spoiling the festive period. Keep candles well away from any Christmas decorations. Decorations can easily fuel a fire and as Christmas trees dry out, they can burn quickly and cause flames to spread in seconds.

When it's 365 days until next Christmas and you're pondering all the work you've put into getting your home holiday ready-from Christmas lights gracing the front of the house to the Christmas tree bedecked with ornaments to your greenery, garlands, wreaths, and holiday knickknacks placed in all their old spots-the thought of finding to right time to break out the storage boxes can be a little daunting (and hardly in the spirit of the hap-happiest time of the year).

When he moved to the family's "dream house" just outside the city of Hayden in Kootenai County, Idaho, the following year, he called the president of the HOA to tell him about his planned display for the following Christmas, according to Fox News.

On Christmas Eve 1895, George Vanderbilt welcomed family and friends to his new home for the first time. What they saw no doubt astounded them, even by the wealthiest echelon's standards of the era. The Gilded Age heir - a grandson of one of the richest men in US history - had built a 175,000-square-foot, 250-room French Renaissance Revival-style mansion that was a marvel of modern innovation, with 35 bedrooms, dozens of bathrooms with indoor plumbing, and two electric elevators.

Soft, chewy, marshmallow-coated Rice Krispies are studded with pistachios and cranberries, chocolate and ginger, or peppermint candy cane; they're as fun to make as they are to eat, and they make a perfect little gift. To add a ribbon for hanging, cut small lengths of ribbon, then loop and knot the ends.

For many years, Tony Tran's daughters begged him to hang Christmas lights outside their San Jose home. He kept saying, "Next year." Tran finally relented in 2018 and strung a few light strings. But his decorative ambitions really shot up to a whole new level when he, his wife and his then-teenaged daughters needed a family project during the COVID-19 lockdown. "My daughters said, 'We can't go out of the house, and we could put on a really nice display for the neighborhood,'" Tran said.
