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. :-)
I’ve heard of the, but always forget to buy one in advance of getting the tree home. Thanks for the reminder! This year I’ll get one and avoid the New Year’s Day mess.
