Caring for your Christmas tree:

When you get home:

- When a tree is cut, sap closes the trunk, much like a cut flower, therefore a new cut is needed so that the tree can drink water. Make a fresh 1" cut and place the tree immediately into water.

-
Never let the water level go below the stump, or a new cut will be necessary! Watch the water level carefully for the first 24-48 hours, as this is when the tree will drink the most water.

-Make sure your tree is not by a heat source, such as a heating vent or TV, as this can dry out the tree needles.

-Ensure all lights are in good working order, with no frayed cords.
ALWAYS turn Christmas tree lights off when you're not in the room. NEVER use candles or any other flame near a Christmas tree.
