🎄🏠 As we prepare to deck the halls like Clark Griswold, many of us will be reaching for extension cords to light up the inside and outside of our homes!

Before you plug in and go full Griswold, make sure you're using the RIGHT extension cord for the job.

⚡ Keep these important safety tips in mind:
- Use outdoor-rated extension cords for exterior decorations.
- Check cords for fraying, cracks or damaged insulation before use.
- Never overload extension cords or electrical outlets.
- Keep cords away from water, snow and standing moisture.
- Don't run cords through doorways, windows or under rugs where they can become damaged.
- Never connect multiple extension cords together.

A little extra attention now can help prevent electrical hazards and keep your holiday season merry and bright!
