With Christmas only around the corner i thought i would give you all a few tips when buying your Christmas tree and keeping it alive as long as you can.

Buying your tree

• Make sure the center pole is not visible (the bushier the better)
• Check the height of your tree will enable your tree topper (angel) to sit on without touching the ceiling
• Shake your tree to check it is fresh

Keeping your tree alive

• Keep away from radiators
• strong and sturdy Christmas tree stand
• use a stand that holds at least 1 gallon of water
• Keep pets out of the reach of ornaments
• Turn off tree lights when you go to bed or leave the house to avoid fire
