The turkey’s in the oven. The pie’s cooling on the counter. The home is full of laughter, kids running through the halls, and the smells of comfort food filling every room.
For a few hours, everything seems perfect – and that’s exactly when most of us let our guard down.
Here’s what most holiday articles don’t tell you: Thanksgiving is one of the most dangerous times of the year. Between extra alcohol, increased travel, and heightened family stress, the risks rise across the board.
Holiday Dangers You Might Not Expect
Thanksgiving weekend is about family, gratitude, and celebration – but it’s also a time when accidents and violence peak nationwide.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), from 2019 to 2023, 174 people were killed in drunk-driving crashes during the Thanksgiving holiday period (Wednesday evening through Monday morning). Over that five-year span, 868 lives were lost, making up roughly 35% of all Thanksgiving-weekend traffic fatalities.
Inside the home, tensions can also rise. The National Network to End Domestic Violence reports that incidents of domestic and intimate partner violence often increase around major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.
All of this paints a simple but sobering truth: even during times of love and laughter, safety is not guaranteed.
Why You Should Think About Home Security Before the Holidays
Your home is your sanctuary – especially during the holidays – but when guests come and go, you’re cooking, traveling, or sleeping off that extra slice of pie, it’s easy to overlook potential risks.
A forgotten door left unlocked. Packages left on the porch. A motion alert you ignore because you’re busy entertaining.
That’s when problems happen.
Wouldn’t it be better to know your home is being monitored around the clock by professionals – so you can truly relax and focus on what matters most?
That’s where SmarterHome.ai and Vivint come in.
