Sure, happy to help! Merry Christmas.

I also solved the problem of our Christmas trees falling over. We put them against a wall, so one side is always heavy with ornaments. We had a couple go over, one time with a kitten climbing up inside.

Now I attach a BIG tree stand to a BIG plywood square (maybe 3 feet square) which fits into a washing machine water containment tray. That way there’s no fear of any water overflow ruining our hardwood floor. No tree is going tip over in the POF household ever again!

We cover the whole shebang with a nice big square of Christmas red felt.

And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours! :-)

Do you know about "tree bags"? They're like normal black garbage bags, but much bigger. When you buy one, put it on top of the plactic, cover both with the stand & tress, then when you have denuded the tree, all you have to do is have someone hold the tree, as you remove the stand and then you just pull up the tree garbage bag. :-)
