SIX RULES FOR THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS TREE
1. Look for a fresh tree with bright green needles.
2. Crush a few needles in your hand. A strong evergreen fragrance is a
sign of freshness.
3. Bend back a few needles. If they snap or break in temperatures above
25 degrees, the tree's not fresh.
4. Use a tree stand that holds at least a gallon of water.
5. Don't leave the decorated tree near radiators, fireplaces or any
sources of heat or drafts.
6. Always turn off the tree lights before going to bed.
President Franklin Pierce put up the first Christmas tree in the White
House in 1856.
In 1920, Pasadena lit up a mile long avenue called Christmas Tree Lane
with more than ten thousand bulbs.
States that are the largest producers of Christmas trees: California,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Oregon, and Michigan.
