A gran has shared a simple way to reduce mess whilst having your Christmas tree up that only takes a couple of seconds to do.

But "everyone's grandmother" Babs on TikTok, also known as @Brunchwithbabs, has revealed how you can keep any mess to a minimum and enjoy the season without worrying about any unsightly tree debris.
