Most people cut a bit off the bottom when they 1st get the tree, but if your tree dries out the closer it gets to Christmas this is easy to do while the tree is in the stand still. Take a drill and drill tiny holes toward the bottom of the tree and refill with water. We have done this the past 2 years and our tree is fresh longer.

Tired of those flying Christmas tree needles? Control them by wrapping your tree in a fitted sheet. Before we bring our tree inside we first spray our tree with a hose to wash the dust and bugs off. Let it dry sitting in a bucket of water.
Pack an old pair of dish washing rubber gloves in with your Christmas tree stand. Leaky ones are fine. Wear them while handling your Christmas tree. No sap on your hands!

If you buy a natural tree, check the ends of the needles. Rub some of the sprigs between your fingers. Cut 1 inch or so off the bottom before you put it into the stand, this will allow it to soak up more water and it will last longer.
