Tips to get that live Christmas tree down and out of the free mess free, Martha Stewart style! Get your Christmas game tear down mode on, and grab and old bed sheet!
- Lay the sheet on the floor next to the tree and take it out of the tree stand.
- Wrap the trunk in a towel to soak up extra water.
- Lay the tree on its side on the sheet and wrap it up, making sure all branches are covered.
- Take it out of the house trunk-first, that way the branches don’t catch on the door frame and break off.
- And hopefully this helps you avoid the mess of a bazillion stray needles scattered on the floor in a trail out the door.
Good Luck!
