Christmas is Coming – Santa in, Thieves Out!

The Christmas season is upon us. Decorations are up, the stores are full of gift ideas and, if you’re really organized, you’ve starting to accumulate piles of presents at home. You might be wise to have a quick look at the policy for your homeowners insurance. MA residents, along with everyone else, are not immune from opportunists who might think to take advantage of the party season, absences from home and new possessions that can be stolen.

Remember the movie “Home Alone”? Behind the humor is a story of a family heading off on vacation for Christmas and a pair of burglars who have targeted their house. It is only the fortunate situation of someone being left behind that saves the family home from being robbed.

In an ideal world, you’d hope that you could leave your home over Christmas and come back to find it as you left it but this is by no means guaranteed. Before you head off on vacation, you should check your homeowners insurance for MA.  Your insurance agent can provide you with insurance advice for the holiday season. Hopefully, the Christmas spirit will prevail in your neighborhood and you won’t need to make a claim!
