This morning Richard was watching one of his cowboys which was Christmas themed. Those that were in that particular episode were discussing decorating a tree and adding candles.
It triggered a memory with hot lights that replaced the candles as they were fire hazard. Still, a dry tree and hot lights were still cause for fire. There have been a number of homes destroyed due to Christmas tree fires. Anyway, I remember my mom and I having attended one of those “selling items” party similar to Tupperware or Usborn Books or the Pampered Chef – only it was for Christmas items. Among the items shared was a smoke alarm ornament. The idea of it was appealing, but the idea didn’t seem to carry over to what we believed would be a helpful item to have.
We decided to test the product before we hung it and ended up melting part of the babble. We returned it and tried it again with our replacement. Both had failed. Neither would have alerted us if there had been an actual fire. Throughout the years the lighting devices have improved so that there is light without the heat. How ingenious.
