Christmas Decor History and Safety
Various decorations come with extended histories. Christmas trees date back to 16th century Germany, while Christmas stockings are believed to have originated in the 1800s, according to the Smithsonian.
Unfortunately, some of our favorite Christmas decorations, especially Christmas trees, are also huge fire hazards. Between 2014 and 2018, Christmas tree fires caused an average of two deaths, 14 injuries and $10 million in property damage every year, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Nearly half of those fires were attributed to lighting equipment and electrical distribution.
So what can you do to avoid Christmas light dangers? Follow these 13 steps, which include keeping trees away from flames, shutting off lights when you're asleep or away from home, and sufficiently watering a live tree.

Messy Garage
If your garage is more like a graveyard for items you don’t want to throw out but don’t know what to do with, consider this your official PSA to toss them. We promise you don’t need eight bundles of non-functioning white Christmas lights, but you do need more useable space.

Paint Cans
Even if they’re unopened or within their expiration date, toss them. They shouldn’t be stored in the garage to begin with. Exposure to cold and heat causes paint to harden and separate.

Unless paint cans are stored in a room-temperature environment — maybe the utility closet down the hall, or shelf in the laundry room — they’re practically useless.

Old Rags
The thing about rags is there is always another raggedy T-shirt ready to replace them. So don’t hesitate tossing them, especially if they’ve already soaked from a staining or motor project.
“Some oil-based wood finishes (stains, polishes, varnishes) have a tendency to spontaneously heat as they dry and cure,” Bob Benedetti, a flammable liquids specialist at the National Fire Protection Association, told Consumer Reports. “If rags or cloths wet with these finishes are mishandled, the spontaneous heating can accelerate and might lead to ignition and fire.” You don’t need a potentially faulty hand grenade hanging around your garage.
Lay out the rags on the pavement for a day or two (don’t worry, sunlight can't cause spontaneous combustion), then toss them in the trash once they’re totally dry.

Expired Chemicals
Pesticides, antifreeze, motor oil, fertilizer and cleaning chemicals generally have a pretty decent shelf life. But how old is it, exactly? If all went well, you bought that gallon of insecticide in 2005 and never needed it again.

Most of those chemicals are good for at least a few years even if they’ve been opened, but it's worth checking every spring-cleaning season. Plus, heat, cold, moisture and light exposure can tamper with even the most properly sealed and stored chemicals.
Even if that quart of motor oil is still good, maybe it's better in the hands of your favorite gearhead.

Holiday Decorations
Look, we’re not saying go full Grinch-mode, but the number of holiday decorations you need, indoor or out, can always, always be pared down. If it’s not fully functional, it’s out. If it hasn’t made it to the display for the third year in a row, it’s out.

Tools
Unless you’re Bob the Builder himself, you really only need a basic set of tools, and only one of everything at that. Upcycle those 11 Phillips head screwdrivers you have that are all the same size. Don't stock up on too many hammers.
Maybe you’ve recently moved from the house where you raised the kids to a smaller bungalow where you just want to relax. You don’t need four rakes anymore, just one good one will do!

Sporting Goods
Have the kids gone from leaving it all on the field to leaving it all in your garage? Then it’s time to leave it all on the curb. Keep the sporting goods that still get regular use and toss or donate the rest.

Furniture
Cleaning out your garage is not easy, but not impossible! Again, if it’s lasted in your garage for any significant amount of time, it probably won’t be missed. Post it on Facebook Marketplace or offer your best truck-owning friend lunch to bring it to the dump for you. Get that busted sectional out of there — think of all the summer patio furniture you can fit in there during the offseason instead.
