Keys to a healthy tree and safe Christmas!

· Water Daily!
· Always turn off the lights of your tree when leaving the house or retiring for the night.
· Never use lighted candles.
· Keep Away From Heat Sources.
· Be careful not to block a door with the tree or rearranged furniture.
· Do not attempt to repair a worn light set.

Throw it away and buy a new set.

Place the tree away from heat sources such as heating vents, fireplaces, wood stoves and fireplace inserts, radiators, television sets or sunny windows.
Remove the tree promptly.

Check for your local chipping and composting program with the parks and recreation department, local nursery or service organization.
After Christmas, before the tree dries, remove it from the house for recycling or pick up by your disposal service.

Never burn any part of a Christmas tree in a wood stove or fireplace.
