With Christmas less than two weeks away, many of you probably already have your Christmas trees. So for those of you who do or don't there are a number of ways to pick the best one, or keep up the one you already have.
If you are looking for a tree, you want to make sure it has been in plenty of water and is hydrated. You can check for this by running your hand through a tree limb, and the fewer needles that fall off the better. Christmas tree officials say that there are a number of myths about what to feed your tree once you have it at home, but really all you need is water.
You can also bend a Christmas tree needle, if it bends, its healthy, if the needle snaps, your tree needs more water.
