So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Protecting Your Home And Your Family With Home Security Systems

By Paige Thompson


Having an alarm monitoring system is more important than it ever was before, what with the number of burglaries and robberies constantly and consistently increasing in recent years. Statistics back up this observation, as a study has indicated that owners of a home security system are about three to four times less likely to have their homes broken in to. With the help of a home alarm system , you not only ensure your safety but your family's too! The fact that a home owner has a home alarm system is usually enough of a deterrent to make burglars move along and look for a less secure home to break into.

What is the purpose of a home security system? It's simple, really - it is capable of monitoring your house around the clock, and in the event of a peculiar happening, it transmits an alarm through your phone line. After the signal is received, a phone call is made to your house to see if everything is all right, and if no one answers or the incorrect password is provided then the local police is alarmed.

All it takes to install a home alarm system is about one hour, but it should give you months worth of service. However, you should test it from time to time just to be sure it is still in working shape. Most home security systems come with a backup battery that could ensure 24-hour protection in the event of a power failure.

Should you agree with us that yes, you need a home alarm system, this does not exempt you from learning security basics. This would allay most of your concerns with regards to security as you would be confident that the chances of being broken into would no longer be so high.

Because burglars normally make their way into houses through doors and windows, you should obviously keep these orifices secured at all times. Make sure that you are using strong locks. In addition, you would not want to tempt burglars to break into your house by leaving things outside that might entice them to do their dirty deeds. It is suggested that your family and friends are aware that you are using a home alarm system for your house.

Some other quick pieces of advice we can give to you to dissuade burglars from breaking in would be to the following - leave your outside lights turned on to eliminate the cover of darkness for burglars, have a big or tough guard dog patrol the outdoors, and should you leave the house, have a neighbor watch over the place.

Yet, nothing is more effective than a home security system when it comes to staving off the threat of burglary. For a nominal investment, you get to protect all your other investments, not the least your house.
