No one plans to fall off their roof while hanging lights or decides to start a fire because they forgot to water their tree. Holiday accidents burn brightest from late November to January.

There are an average of 200 decorating-related injuries each day during the holiday season, according to CPSC.gov.

Below are a few tips from the National Safety Council to keep you out of the emergency room and safe with your family this holiday season.

1. Keep potentially poisonous plants such as mistletoe, holly berries and amaryllis away from children and pets.
2. Place your tree at least 3 feet away from fireplaces, radiators and other heat sources.
3. Only use indoor lights indoors and outdoor lights outdoors, and choose the correct ladder when hanging lights.
4. Replace light sets that have broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, or loose connections.
5. Never nail, tack or stress wiring when hanging lights and keep plugs off the ground and away from puddles and snow.
6. Follow the package directions on the number of light sets that can be plugged into one socket.
7. Turn off all lights and decorations when you go to bed or leave the house.
