Keeping your Christmas Tree Alive Longer

[Nick]

I love it when it's done but it is seriously a pain in the ass.

Btw I know nothing about trees, I put up an artificial 3' pre decorated/lighted tree.

Awesome. That's about all the holiday spirit I can muster for JC's b-day as well.

I usually dip mine in paraffin, then use real candles. Exciting one way or the other.

Wow you go all out with that tree. All I have is a prelit 2', and I have to put up the ornaments.

I always had a real tree growing up, and with the fresh cut and lots of water it always stayed in good condition well into Jan.

We would fill the stand, and then stick a 2 litre soda bottle upside down in the stand (on the backside of the tree so it was hidden). When the water level started to drop the water pours out of the bottle refilling the stand.

Now that i live by myself, i just have a fake tree.
