Thanks for the great tips!

Not to mention, really “green”.

We cut our tree every year from a farm nearby. Then, during the first week in January, everyone in our town puts their trees on the curb. The city picks them up and chops them into mulch, which is then available free to residents.

I read a disturbing statistic last week that people buy fake trees thinking that they’ll have them forever, but that the average tree is in use for only four years.
