The calendars have been flipped, the Christmas music has finally stopped and we all get back to reality. This past Christmas season was a great one for myself and my agency and I hope you had all of your Christmas wishes come true.
Have you taken down your decorations yet? Probably not. Please remember that if you haven't watered the tree in a few days, it's probably very dry and very flammable. Time to get it out of the house.
Then there are the outdoor lights. It is quite cold today here in Watertown: a chilly 12 degrees. However, the weather should warm up for the end of the week. It may be a perfect time to get out there and take it all down. It will be much less safe to be up on a ladder or walking around on an icy roof once the temperature plummets again (and it will).
I have not shoveled snow yet! Time to stop at the hardware store and pick up driveway salt. If you want to prevent your friends and family (and the paper boy) from falling on your property you need to keep it clean and salted.
If you have any questions about your policy and how it protects you, go to our agency website or just give me a call at 920-261-3255.

A quick update. I took my decorations down that weekend and since it is 7 degrees out right now I am very glad I did.
