First and foremost, THANK YOU for your support by pu
rchasing your Christmas tree from the College Station Noon Lions Club. We search farms across the country to locate Grade #1 trees that will last throughout the entire holiday season. We know you have plenty of other options, and hope our lot becomes a family tradition – along with so many others – to come select your tree from us year after year. The proceeds from the purchase of your tree go right back into our community.
-
Make a fresh cut. Fortunately, our Lions provide this service prior to loading up your tree.
-
Choose a spot away from heat sources, such as a heater vent, or fire place.
-
Water your tree immediately. It will drink a LOT of water the first day, but you will want to check the water level daily. The tree will absorb a lot of water, but if you have inside animals, they may drink the water, as well. This should be discouraged.
-
Don’t add anything to the water. Research has shown that plain tap water is best. Some commercial additives and homemade concoctions can actually decrease a tree’s moisture retention, and increase needle loss.
-
Check water level daily. Yes, this was mentioned in #3, but it’s the most important, along with keeping the tree away from a heat source to avoid drying out your tree.
-
ENJOY!!! Okay, this number is the most important. Enjoy the holiday season with your family as you choose to define them, and remember to show Compassion, Patience, Kindness, and Love.
