It is during this time of year that everyone is busy buying gifts for loved ones and friends, going to Christmas parties and enjoying the magic of the holiday season. With all of this going on, it is easy to forget to keep an eye out for the condition of your Christmas tree. If you have not gotten your tree yet, one of the first things you want to do is remove about an inch from the bottom of the trunk and get it in the tree stand and water it as soon as you are able.
