It's like clockwork. The moment we graciously trade in warmer weather for, well, slightly less warm weather (Texas, anyone?), we break into a festive spirit. But even the season of good tidings can present obstacles: home security. Before you book that vacation or buy the perfect gift, here are a few holiday home security tips to keep you and your community safe.Secure your Wi-Fi

But if you must use a public network, there is good news: if you see a lock icon beside the network's name, it's safe!
