How to keep your Christmas tree alive for longer this year

Christmas tree with lights on next to a fireplace.

From picking the tree and transporting it home to decorating and vacuuming pine needles, a lot goes into setting up your home for the holidays. With all this effort to consider, it's important to ensure that you know how to keep your Christmas tree alive for longer. This way, it can remain a beautiful centerpiece in your home after the main celebrations. 

To enjoy it for the maximum time possible, you may simply put it up earlier. This makes the right care even more vital, as you'll still want it to look full and bushy when the big day arrives. Meanwhile, if you're traveling over Christmas, like me, you'll want to ensure you're not returning home to a limp and lifeless tree. It might also be your first real tree, so use this advice as a starting point for general care.
