Did you know that the holiday season can be one of the most dangerous times of year? Although the general spirit is very festive, it is important not to let your guard down. With all of the parties and cheer, the holidays also mean increased danger of everything from home invasion to identity theft. You must be aware of these threats and take steps to diminish them.
First, be aware of the danger of purchasing expensive Christmas gifts alone. As you walk to your car, especially at night, you may be at risk of a mugging or carjacking. Never buy more than you can handle, or turn your back to long to put the gifts in your trunk. Put packages in your trunk, not in the backseat, if you want to avoid returning to a smashed window. Avoid traveling to stores that you don't know well after dark, because you won't be aware of the possible risks. Always let someone know where you are going, and carry not only a cell phone but also a stun gun, personal alarm, or pepper spray canister to help you get out of a threatening situation.
When out at holiday parties, even with friends or family, you can't let your guard down. Never accept drinks from a stranger. If you must leave your drink unattended for any reason, do not drink it later. Always watch the amount you're drinking, even when with good friends. If you leave the group you came with, let them know where you are going and who you are going with. If they don't realize you've gone, no one will come looking for you if you don't come back. Never walk home alone after a party. Wear sensible shoes when out at night; not only will your feet be more comfortable, but you'll be able to run if needed.
During the holidays, the dangers aren't just lurking away from your home. During the holidays, your property is more vulnerable to theft than you realize. Many people travel during the holidays, leaving their home unprotected. If you do visit family during this time of year, keep at least one light on, and have a neighbor pick up your mail and newspaper so that your home looks occupied. Even if you're staying home all season, door and window alarms, adequate outdoor lighting, and dummy cameras can go a long way towards making your home the least likely target on the block.
Following the gift-giving, be very aware of how you display your new possessions. You may be tempted to take your new iPod and your new designer purse everywhere, but these can make you a target of theft. If you've gotten a new HDTV, close the blinds! You may want to show it off, but it's not just your neighbors who might take interest in that new TV.
Don't let your holidays be ruined by burglary or assault. By covering the basics and protecting yourself ahead of time, you can make your family and your home much less of a target for criminals. Do not take your safety for granted, even in this joyous time of year. Enjoy yourself and have fun, but also stay aware and stay safe!
