What's Christmas without a Christmas tree?
Where is your Chistmas tree going to be placed? Be sure to measure the ceiling height and take into account the dimensions of the stand you will be using also.
Short leafed trees are much easier to decorate. However long leafed trees appear to be fuller. Depending on the type of decorations you use this should be taken into consideration.
Be sure to use an appropriate stand for your tree. It must be sturdy enough to support your trees size. If you buying a live tree be sure to use a bucket or some other sturdy source that will also hold water.
If you will be purchasing a live tree check that the tree is fresh. If the needles fall off easily or have begun to turn brown you will want to look further. Look for the freshest tree possible.
Whether you are cutting your own tree at a tree farm or picking up a pre-cut one you will need gloves. No sense tearing your hands up.
Good ideas to remember when choosing a tree! Measuring seems so obvious, but we all know what happens when you skip that step! :)
