Weekly Tips for Preparation: Week 3


Tip #3: The art of Christmas Tree "fluffing": unfolding branches during tree set up giving the tree its fullest appearance. Quality trees will have at least four branches. For best results, in relation to a compass, fold branches in each of the four major directs: North, East, South, and West. Start on the bottom layer and work your way up.

Tip #2: When setting up your new artificial Christmas Tree, set up the tree according to the instructions with the lights turned on. Taller trees might have two plugs extending from the tree, and setting them up incorrectly could blow a fuse.

Tip #1: Take the time to pull out your Holiday lights and pre-lit decorations a few days before you plan to set them up. Addressing tangles, snares, and non-working lights prior to installation will save you time in the long run.
