Here are some tips to keep your Thanksgiving holiday — and every day — safe and festive.

• Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking. Keep an eye on the food.
• Stay in the home when cooking your turkey. Check it frequently.

• Keep children away from the hot stove.
• Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. Splash from gravy or coffee could cause serious burns.
• Keep knives out of the reach of children.
• Be sure electric cords from coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child.
• Keep matches and lighters out of the reach of children. Keep in a high cabinet.
• Never leave children alone in a room with a lit candle.
• Keep the floor clear to prevent tripping and injury.
• Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.
