                                                     Christmas Tree Care & Fun Facts

The RealTree Tradition.
Each year 35 million American families bring a real Christmas tree into their homes to become a warm and glowing part of their holiday celebration.
In 1842, Charles Minnegerode introduced the custom in Williamsburg, Virginia. His tree was described as "splendidly decorated" with strings of popcorn, gilded nuts, and lighted candles. The fourteenth president of the United States, Franklin Pierce, was the first president to set up a Christmas tree in the White House.
The enduring tree symbol remains a firmly established part of our holiday customs, engaging not only our senses of sight, touch, and smell, but also our sense of family, spirit and tradition.

RealTree Care.
A few simple care tips will enhance the enjoyment of your Christmas tree and keep it fresh and fragrant throughout the holiday season. When you bring the tree home, cut ¼ inch off the base of the trunk. Keep the tree outdoors, standing in a container of water, protected from the wind and sun until you are ready to decorate. This will help the tree retain its moisture.
Before bringing the tree into your home and placing it in a stand, make a fresh cut a minimum of ¼ inch off the base of the trunk. This opens the tree stem so it can take up water. Immediately place your tree in the stand and fill it with fresh water. Cut trees may drink between 2 pints to a gallon of water a day. Check the stand daily and supply fresh water as needed.
