Christmas: flowers, gifts, trees, family. Christmas is gifts and trees to many, but family, friends, sparkle, parties, children and has great religious significance to others. Love the cheap highly flammable perfume from Auntie or the socks your granny knitted that come to your armpits or not - You gotta love Christmas!Permanent link: Christmas Tree SOS
Christmas Tree SOS
If your tree has sharp little needles on it, you'll need to be prepared for that too. They have a habit of falling off onto the floor if they get brushed up against one too many times, or are starting to get older. The location of your Christmas tree will play a big role too. Stay away from fireplaces, windows, or vents, that could circulate heat and raise the risk of a fire—the ultimate party-douser. Make sure to stay away from frequently populated areas like in the middle of the room or by a doorway. Decorations could get knocked or brushed off, and it can greatly lower the significance of your beautiful, seasonal tree. Once you have your tree at home—but not in place—double check everything. If there are any branches that aren't quite at the same level or angle as the others, don't hesitate to chop it around until it meets your standards. Don't go crazy with the saw or anything, but you paid your money, you can do whatever you like with it, including shaping or molding it to ‘perfection'. In the end, your Christmas tree might last a few weeks, but your flooring will (well, we can hope) last much, much longer, so when it comes to moving your tree into your home, put down large, plastic garbage bags, or old sheets in case someone drops the tree while moving it, or any needles fall off on the way. More to the point, it is a live tree and there will be bugs. They show up easier on a white sheet then they do on hardwood flooring. Once your tree is in place, with its tree stand supporting it, you might consider other forms of support. You can get another base to aid the stand, or, depending on the height and place of the room, consider tying the top of the tree with a clear string to the ceiling. One of the worst things that can happen is having your decorated tree fall flat on the floor—or worse, onto a guest—and having to re-do it then.
