Forgive me if there is a thread for this already. I looked, but couldn't find it.
Growing up, we would put our Christmas Tree up the day after Thanksgiving. But it was a fake tree, so it worked. Now that I am married, I have tried that tradition twice with a real tree (got tired of having fake trees all my life!) and they are always dead by Christmas. So now DH doesn't want to get a tree until 2 weeks before Christmas! I need a tree before that to decorate and put presents under! I have tried the water preservative, but nothing is working to keep these trees alive!
What do you guys do to keep a tree alive for a month or so??
