So, you have decided on the type and size of the Christmas tree that will compliment your home and make Christmas a happy occasion for all the family. Now you need to think about the best decorations to enhance the tree, and a suitable stand for it.
A Christmas tree stand provides a clean and simple way of keeping your real tree watered and moist, which helps the tree to hold its needles and remain fresh over the Christmas period.
Stands are designed with ease and safety in mind. You don’t want to be wasting time trying to figure out how to open the stand! A good quality stand will ensure it only takes a few minutes to put your tree up quickly and guarantee it’s in no danger of falling over! This will not only cause damage to the tree but also damage the decorations or furniture causing you expense and hassle. If it should fall onto a young child or family pet then consequences might be even worse. Take care to choose the correct type of stand for your Christmas tree.
The main factors to take into consideration when selecting a stand, is the size of your real Christmas tree, the width of the trunk, how much water it is able to hold and what it is made from. As with most things, the better quality stand you choose the longer it is going to last you. Xmas tree stands made from steel are obviously going to be strong and durable and will last you many years, whilst plastic ones will be liable to break more easily. A quality Christmas tree stand will last for years so seriously consider investing in one that may cost more but will be worth it. Bear in mind, getting the right size and style of tree stand is also important for your family’s safety.
Many families have various traditions at Christmas time, and one of them is to get together and decorate the tree. There is a wide range of Christmas lights available on the market and finding the right ones to compliment your tree to its full effect can be confusing. To get it right choose good quality lights to really set off your tree and get it noticed, especially when it is all lit up at night.
Some people like lots of lights on their tree, whilst others like to keep it to a minimum. Xmas tree lights come in all colours and shapes, elegant white and cream, dazzling reds and blues or bright yellows and multicolours, the choice is yours. Whether you have a theme for your tree or just throw everything on in a haphazard fashion, Christmas tree lights will enhance the effect.
Advance technology means Christmas tree lights now come in all shapes and sizes. LED lights provide you with a variety of options from flashing and twinkling to fading in and out and random effects. LED lights are also a better option as they use less energy and are far more ecologically friendly. Relatively cheap to buy, you won’t even notice them on your monthly electricity bill, and they look good into the bargain.
