Choosing the right Christmas tree is like finding the heart of your holiday décor—it needs to be just right. Start by looking for a tree with vibrant, healthy needles that cling tightly to the branches. To check for freshness, give the tree a good shake or run your fingers lightly down a branch. If only a few needles fall, you’ve got yourself a keeper. A tree that sheds excessively is likely already on its way out.
Once you’ve found your tree, protect it for the journey home. Cold air and high winds can dry out the needles during transit, especially if the tree is riding on top of your car. Wrapping it in plastic is an easy way to prevent this and ensures your tree stays lush and fresh. Remember, a well-cared-for tree not only looks stunning but also lasts longer, letting you enjoy the holiday spirit well into the season.
