In my family, the day after Thanksgiving is not designated for shopping...we need the full day to put up our Christmas tree! This has been a tradition in my family since before I can remember, and now that I have moved out of my parents' house, I am preparing my roommates for the annual Christmas decorating. I live in an apartment like most of you on Travel Therapy Jobs and need to find the perfect Christmas tree for my space. I found these tips on howtodothings.com about picking the perfect pine....
1- First things first..where are you putting the tree? Make sure you pick a place where the tree will not be in the way. Once you have the perfect spot picked out, measure the height and width of the space.
2- Buy a stand for the tree. Be sure you buy one that is stable enough to weigh down the tree, and get one that can adjust to any trunk size.
3- Buy the tree! All tree farms have different sizes to choose from.
4- Set up the tree. Before you begin decorating, allow the tree to sit in the stand with water for a few hours so the branches can loosen up. This will make the tree look fuller!
5- Have fun admiring your tree when you are home from your Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy Jobs!
