    Why not buy the tree 1 - 4 days before Christmas?

    Some Christmas tree vendors may be out of stock that close to Christmas. It is common for people to put up Christmas trees in November, meaning that all the best trees are sold long before 1 - 4 days before Christmas. A cut real tree may not be in the best condition that soon before Christmas, it could have been in the store for weeks. If you can reserve the tree you want in plenty of time, buying it 1 - 4 days before Christmas can work really well.

    Where should I hang heavy ornaments?
    Community Answer
    Try hanging them towards the bottom, in case they fall. If you don't want to hang them towards the bottom, then hang them from thick, sturdy branches. If the branch sags under the ornament's weight, it is not strong enough; choose another branch.

    Why do I have to put the tree in a cold place?
    Community Answer
    You keep it cold before you get ready to set it so it stays healthy and does not dry out as quickly.

    How can I make myself a fake paper Christmas tree?
    Community Answer
    Get a bookmark-sized piece of paper, and roll it up and tape it so that it doesn't move. Then, cut out four pieces of paper that look like one side of a Christmas tree. Fold 1/2 inch of the paper in the other way, and glue it onto the paper roll, and put the rest of them on, each on a different side of the paper roll. That is the most basic form of a paper tree.
