Cut off at least one inch (2.5 cm) from the bottom of the trunk and gently shake the tree to remove any loose needles. 2. Stand it in a bucket of water and keep it in a cool place such as a garage or shed until ready to take indoors for decorating. 3. The Hollies recommends putting the tree into a bucket (without holes) and filling with water so that the trunk is immersed. 4. Use stones or bricks to secure the tree in place. Do not use sand or soil in the bucket as they restrict water from being drawn up. 5. Stand the tree in the coolest part of the room, ideally next to a window and away from radiators and fi res. Water daily. 6. Decorate your tree with Christmas lights and decorations available in The Hollies Gift Barn, Little Budworth. Did you know? Did you know that the decorated Christmas tree can be traced back to the ancient Romans who during their winter festival decorated trees with small pieces of metal?
