Never leave your Christmas tree on overnight. This could lead to excessively drying out your tree, which could lead to a fire.

Do you have any special holiday traditions?

Now that the holiday season is here, we’re thinking about holiday traditions. These can vary from family to family, region to region, and more… But there are some really fun ones for sure!

Baking Cookies

Hot Chocolate and Santa

Mary Liz, from WGAC, remembers her Christmas mornings as a kid. She said: “My mom would get hot chocolate ready for us and make sure Santa had been there. Meanwhile…my dad kept us upstairs and we weren’t even allowed to sneak a peek until they said “go.” We carried that tradition on with our children and I still love it!”

Precious memories for sure.
Christmas Lights

Blaine, from HD 98.3, remembers driving through looking at Christmas lights with her family as a kid. There was a place called Christmas Lane near her hometown. It was so magical, they would even have talking and moving displays and a lot of holiday music too!

Candy Canes

Chris O’Kelley, from Kicks 99, shared a special holiday memory. He says: “We made these candy canes back in the 70s from pipe cleaners. My brothers, sisters, and I made them. They were on our family tree since we made them. My mother gave them to me before she passed and since then, they have been on every tree I’ve had for 14 years.
