In just 20 seconds that beautifully decorated Christmas Tree can become a raging inferno of flames and smoke. 20 seconds, that's all it takes to turn your holiday in to a hotel stay.

Make sure you water your real Christmas tree at least twice a day and check the water level constantly. While you're at it, check those strings of lights for any frayed wires or bulbs that may be too hot. It could save your holiday, and your home.

Please stay safe this Holiday season and don't let this happen to you....
