Christmas Trees

Christmas Tree Association

The Holidays is just around that corner and the biggest concern for every household is choosing between a real Christmas tree or an artificial one. Although both are useful and will serve its purpose to light up the Holiday spirit, both also have safety hazards. Needless to say, it is important to be aware of the potential risks. After all, no one wants a Christmas that goes up in flames. Conversely, the last thing you probably want this coming Holiday season is a house fire caused by unsafe lights, a dry Christmas tree, or a tipped candle. If you opt for a real tree, purchase the fresh ones with needles intact. It is essential that you get a fresh cut on the trunk to encourage water to be absorb through the trunk. Likewise, check your tree’s water supply daily and replenish it often to avoid dry branches. It will eventually dry and should be taken down as soon as possible after the Holidays.
