The holidays are here and it's a time to celebrate family, food and holiday traditions. A this time of year, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
From our TaylorMade Team family to yours, here are some tips that we always share with our friends and neighbors in Southlake, Keller and the DFW area:
- Expecting packages to be delivered? If you can't be home to check on deliveries, ask a neighbor to keep an eye out and pick it up for you. If you've sent items to other people, track your packages & deliveries. You can either track it yourself or give the tracking link to the recipient to remind them to look out. There are awful stories about people following the UPS trucks and picking up packages from peoples doorsteps.
- Check the stability of your christmas tree stand! The packages get placed, the kids lay under the tree, the tree gets moved around a bit at time... avoid the knocked over or pulled over Christmas tree and make sure the tree stand is stabilized and balanced.
- Don't forget to water the tree! If you are out of town, you can place sand in the base to help retain the water for the tree (and for a little extra support). Your tree should retain its moisture.
- Leave a TV or Radio on when you leave your home to that the house looks and sounds occupied.
- Holiday Trash can be overwhelming, however make sure that the boxes from gifts (like flatscreen TV's) are broken down and hidden amongst the other trash or recycling items. You don't want to call attention to gifts that just arrived in your home.
We hope this holiday season is safe and enjoyable whether you are celebrating here or traveling.
We look forward to seeing those great family pictures on Facebook... we're going to try and post some too!
Blessings,
Mary, David and Steffani Taylor
