Happy Holidays! As the weather shifts, relatives arrive in town, and the Christmas list continues to grow, the holidays spark a certain cheer in every one of us. Whether you’re celebrating Hanukah, Christmas, Kwanza, or the neighborhood festivities, the holidays are a time of family, friends and….STRESS. Lets be honest, the shopping season is booming, you’ve got TONS of gifts to pick up and you STILL haven’t had time to create that “pine smell” with a fresh Christmas tree in your living room. Well, we’re here to help. In today’s blog post, we’re going to show you HOW to tie a Christmas tree to your car.
So, make sure you have heavy gloves, a warm jacket and plastic sheeting. First, put on your gear and shake your new tree. This will loosen any foreign objects, as well as loose branches. Place a sheet of plastic over the roof of your car to protect the paint and finish. Now, lift the tree and place it on the roof. Have a partner if your tree is larger than 6 feet. Next, wind the rope or bungee cord all around - over the tree, then under and back over the tree until it is secure. Tie the rope or cord securely. Pull on the tree and make sure it’s tightly tied. Ta da! An additional tip: bring your own rope or bungee cord when you buy your tree and always face the tree with the trunk end forward! (this will prevent wind breaking off branches while you’re driving.
Happy Holidays!!!!!!!
