Tips for Choosing the Right Christmas tree.
The fact is that a ten-foot Christmas tree will not fit in a home with six-foot ceilings. When looking at trees outside or at the market, it is hard to accurately imagine them in your house. People frequently bring home trees that will not fit through their doorway and will not stand up in their living room. It’s possible to trim the tree once you have seen it next to your house, but it will be easier to measure before you bring it home. It is possible that a live tree is not for you. Even if you can get one that is short enough to fit under your ceiling, there may not be enough floor-space in your house to accommodate the branches. If it comes down to the tree taking up all of the seating in your house or no tree at all, consider the possibility of a smaller, artificial tree, or even a live, miniature tree. Six-inch trees are available potted and ready to happily grace your table. You can even buy miniature decorations for them. If you’d like a little bit bigger tree, maybe three feet tall, they are available as well, though you might want an artificial one rather than a growing, potted tree in your living room all year around. An artificial tree is also a good idea if you have small children or pets in your house. They will both play in the dirt of a potted tree and make a mess of your carpet. A live tree in a stand may also cause problems if you have pets that may jump into a large tree and knock it over. They will be much less likely to do so if the tree doesn’t look big enough to accommodate them. Don’t worry though; there really is a Christmas tree for any household. Another thing to consider when looking for the right tree is the environment. If you live in an area where there are abundant trees, the forest service will often sell permits to cut trees on national forest land. The permits are typically inexpensive, and the thinning of the trees is healthy for the continued growth of the forest. In that case, you will want to look for a tree that will fit in your house. It is better not to cut down the very old and very tall trees just to take a small portion of them home. Look for an adequately sized tree that has short, soft needles. These will be the easiest to decorate and will remain green for longer than the trees with longer needles. If you live in an area where trees are scarce, you may decide to decorate a tree in your yard instead of cutting a tree or buying a cut tree in order to preserve what you have. Better yet, buy a potted tree to decorate in your home. When spring comes, plant it to strengthen the tree population around you. Whatever your Christmas tradition is, it probably includes a tree. There are so many options when considering your Christmas tree, it is nearly impossible to go wrong. No matter how much space you have, who the people and animals in your house are or your relationship to the environment, you will find a tree that will work for you and your family. If you cannot decide what will be best for you, try something and see how it works. Next year you can try another kind of tree. There is no wrong answer when it comes to finding a good tree. A little bit of trial and experimentation will help you find the right one. Happy holidays and have a great time hunting down the right tree. Wake Up Richer Every Morning...
