Brady and I walk around Houston Street Park to see the Christmas Lights. I know the video quality isn’t great and it’s really shakey. However, the audio is quite hilarious if I do say so myself.

I messed up and was holding my digital camera verticaly, so just tilt your head to the left a bit.

The holidays are a time for sharing warm memories with family and friends, celebrating another year together. It should be a happy time for all, a time of giving and receiving gifts both tangible and intangible. Unfortunately, unless you have a hired a Houston security systems company to provide assurance for your safety, you may find that your happy season can become frustrating—and even frightening. Intruders see the holidays as a great opportunity to steal cash, credit cards, electronics and other valuables from unsuspecting homes and may ruin your otherwise joyous season. A home alarm is the best way to protect your Houston home, but if you are not sure that you are ready for security alarm systems by a professional Houston company, you might also consider implementing the following safety measures on your own:

• Don’t make your tree too visible. Burglars generally look for an easy entry, fast grab and quick escape. Make it difficult for them to tell if your house is full of Christmas gifts by placing your tree in a less visible place.

• Don’t advertise your absence. Occupancy clues like outdoor lights burning all day long, piled up papers and flyers and other clues will let burglars know that you are away for the holidays. Instead, use a light timer when you are going away, and ask a trusted neighbor to keep your driveway clear of paper and other debris.

• Don’t hide a spare key near the front door. Experienced burglars know that many homeowners keep a hidden key near the front entrance, don’t prove them right. Instead of hiding a key above the door ledge, under a rock or in a flowerpot, give it to a trusted neighbor. It is also a good idea to give that same neighbor the code to your home alarm in case of an emergency when you are not in your Houston home.

• Lock doors and windows. The vast majority of burglars would rather enter through an unlocked door or window, so keep all entrances locked securely. Most Houston security systems companies pay close attention to these areas; but holiday lights can pose a singular problem if an extension cord is run through a window and prevents it from closing securely.

• Refrain from posting your name on the mailbox. If you post your name, a burglar could simply call directory assistance, get your phone number and call to make sure you are not home prior to the intrusion.

• Leave a vague message on your answering machine. Houston security alarm systems cannot do the little things like leave a smart outgoing message on your answering machine, which means you will have to do this yourself. Never say that you are away for the holidays or when you will return, because then a prospective burglar will know how much time he or she has to go through your home.

• Don’t pile up empty boxes from big-ticket gifts. Never advertise your new Christmas gifts by piling up empty boxes, since it only lets burglars know what they can hope to steal from you. It’s best to break them down and cut them up to better conceal the items.

• Fortify your home. Keep your home as safe as you can by installing solid core doors, heavy duty door locks, and longer screws in every lock strike plate and door hinge. Above everything else, opt for Houston home security systems, including a home alarm, if you want to take every available precaution against intruders.

For information about security systems for your Houston home, or to get advice about how you can take safety precautions yourself, contact Safeguard Home Security at 800-785-6488.

I took a drive around the neighborhood to record the lights displayed for this 2009 Christmas season. The song is a favorite, performed by the Bill Gaither Vocal Band from their Atlanta Homecoming album. I highly recommend it.

I have extended family that live in the Los Angeles area and they were visiting family in New York for Christmas. They were originally supposed to fly out of Newark nonstop to LA on Sunday, but with the snow and all, they had to rebook. They ended up having to take a flight LaGuardia to Chicago O’Hare, then from O’Hare to either Dalls/Ft. Worth or Houston (can’t remember which) and finally from Texas to LA. Well, their flight to Chicago went fine, but their plane from Chicago to Texas had a cracked windshield. The part I can’t believe is that they cannot get on another flight until Friday. They are sending their oldest kid back by herself tomorrow (they paid extra) because her boyfriend flew in from Kentucky to visit yesterday, but the airline is only giving them a free flight on Friday. The of course are getting a free stay at a DoubleTree suite plus an extra $500 for meals, but why Friday? Is this because their frequent flyer miles are only available for certain flights? I live in Omaha, and we don’t usually have big problems at our airport like this. I’m just trying to figure out why they can’t get out until Friday. Can ANYONE shed some light on this?

The airline would move them along as soon as possible if they could. They don’t get any pleasure from incurring the cost of their room and board. It’s just a bad time for travel due to mother nature. Hope they can enjoy the new year at least, and their time in TX.

Cracked windshield. Scary!

This house and many others are located in Prestonwood by Willowbrook Mall, just NW of Houston. It’s a great subdivision to see lots of cool houses! This one had some great music that danced with the lights.
