With Christmas being only a few days away, it is important, when putting up a real tree, to keep water in the stand. You should first cut off about 1/4 inch of the bottom trunk before you take it in the house. That will help keep the bottom surface open to help absorb and take up more water through the trunk. Check the stand after the first week for water, it will drink more water that first week.
Be sure to check all light sets to make sure there is no fraying of wires to prevent electrical fires. Keep the tree in a cooler area of the room, away from heater vets, and also away from fireplaces in use.
Enjoy decorating your tree with your family! We wish every one a Merry Christmas, and Prosperity in the new year with Good Health!
