What about artificial Christmas trees?

[@urmomisgay916]

Simple! Dont put it near an out lit, keep lights off of it, and if you do have lights on it, only turn them on for Christmas Day. (Also make sure it’s fake)

[@ryandebruin9221]

Use common sense.

[@ramonfrias485]

or just don't get a Christmas tree

[@MS-gl5mg]

There is a very simple but very strict rule about this, you shouldn't buy a tree at all, so it won't catch fire.

[@qamarpasha2818]

by not installing them..

[@Vectorlarity]

Step 1: Don’t buy a Christmas tree. Artificial trees can still burn if it’s hot enough.

[@steves009]

Best way to avoid it is don't have one

[@salvatorepluchino4453]

[@miniena7774]

Yeah, and don’t let your good ‘white-hat’ friends hang a cross on the tree in an African American’s house and set in fire either.
