April 9, 2010, Newsletter Issue #155: Make the Holidays Easy With a Decorated Christmas Tree

Tip of the Week

As you make a mad dash for the oven to save the cookies from burning, you realize that you are still clutching a ribbon in your hand. You drop the ribbon, quickly put the cookies on cooling racks and check the time. Eight minutes until the family comes home and you still have seven gifts to wrap. On top of that, you need to lay out fresh outfits so they can all get ready to go to dinner at Aunt Sue's. You rush back to your gift wrapping station and glance at the tree. It is still not decorated. Perhaps you can all work together to get it done tonight, but you usually don't leave family gatherings very early. What you need is an already decorated Christmas tree.



For those who still want to add their own special touches and hang cherished family ornaments, pre-lit trees are a great option. These trees simply alleviate the time and frustration involved in untangling lights and wrapping them attractively around the tree, only to discover they don't work. You can find pre-lit trees with different lighting options, from clear lights to blinking colored lights.



A pre-decorated Christmas tree is completely ready to go. Besides being pre-lit, this type of tree actually has ornamental touches, like bows, poinsettia blossoms, pine cones and balls, already on it.
