My cousin's house burned down on Xmas morning. Her DH was up at around 4 and put the lights on so that it would look Christmassy when they got up and only a couple of hours later the whole house went up. They got out OK - just about - lots of smoke inhalation and her DH was cut very badly and thankfully her DCs were at their Dad's house.
Now that lots of trees will be really dry please don't leave lights on in the room if you are not in there. It takes just seconds for the tree to ignite.
