- When choosing lights LOOK and READ at the package. Use lights that say "rated for outdoor use only". Remember that these lights have been manufactured FOR a specific temperature. Outdoor lights are made to to withstand the cold and snow during winter. In other parts of the country, outdoor lights have also been known to be safe even in rainy weather because they are made sturdier and they're more rubber coated to protect the inside wires from peeling off easily or breaking during the cold winters. Kids have a penchant for lights so it is wise to make sure they're safe by following safety instructions when you purchase lights, decors and everything else which adds to the glitz and wonder of the season.Large outdoor decors are impressive. Yes you can have a huge Santa that's standing 7-8 feet tall. The holidays are a time of radiant displays BUT to make sure that if you have huge delightful Christmas outdoor figures, they are ANCHORED safely in the ground. If you have to use tools to do this, do so. Make sure that the base of your decoration is STURDY too. This assures you that kids are safe even if they attempt to touch or tug at your temptingly impressive outdoor decor. After all, you surely don't want Santa Claus falling over your kid. Make sure any electrical ones- or huge figures that are lighted - are plugged into a grounded electrical outlet.Children love to gawk and gaze at Santa Claus on top of the roof and the Nativity set in the garden illuminated by bright colored lights. 'Tis the season to be merry and kids are he merriest bunch during the yuletide season.The whole neighborhood is alive with an array of picturesque lights and your kid is naturally excited about, well-practically everything! There's Santa on the roof and you have Frosty the snowman too. What do you do do make your outdoors safe for your child?
- A grounded electrical outlet is important to use because kids could get an electrical shock by touching these figures and lights outdoors.The really huge thing these days however is a SAFER and LIGHTER alternative. Try to set up these new inflatable Santas and Snowmen on the ground. Some might be 15 feet tall but they are safer because they're only full of air and are less likely to harm any kid. A grounded electrical outlet makes sure that IF there is any short (electrical short circuit)of any type that happens, the electric automatically shuts off so the child does not get burnt or shocked.You can't keep kids from going outdoors during the merriest of seasons but you can sure make sure that they're safe while they enjoy the scenes and lights that are part of the magic of every Christmas season.
