I purchased our tree early because it is my first grandchild and his first Christmas. I would like my tree to last at least until Christmas. This is also my first year REALLY celebrating Christmas with the tree and decor.

Plain sugar water will do.

STEP 1: Select the freshest tree possible. Ideally, buy one that is cut the day you bring it home. STEP 2: Cut 1 inch off the base, place the tree in a bucket of water, and stand it in a cool, shady place if you don't plan to set it up right away. STEP 3: Cut 1/2 inch to 1 inch off the base of the trunk when you bring it inside to set up. STEP 4: Place in a tree stand that holds at least 1 gallon of water. Add plain water. STEP 5: Water the tree every day. STEP 6: Avoid allowing the water level to drop below the cut end of the trunk. If it does, a seal will form and prevent any more water from being absorbed by the tree. You'll need to make another cut in the trunk if this occurs. STEP 7: Keep the tree away from the fireplace, vents and other sources of heat. STEP 8: Spray tree with an antitranspirant, which is a clear film that slows water loss from the needles. Spray it on before trimming the tree. Tips & Warnings
Miniature light sets produce less heat than the standard-size lights, so the tree will dry out less quickly if you use them.

Keep it watered. XMas tree is just like any other tree, it needs water and nutrients. If it doesn't get what it needs, it will die and the needles will fall off.

usually putting an aspirin in the water will keep the tree fresher for longer.

cut off about an inch of thetrunk, then immediately immerse itin water, make sure there isalways water in the reservoir, and it should last all month.
