How to Pick and Decorate a Christmas Tree

Step 2Put tree in stand

Put tree in stand
Carry the tree, still wrapped in its netting, to the spot you plan to set it up. The best tree stands are plastic, with 4 or 8 holding screws and a decent water-holding capacity.

Situate the tree stand on some towels to avoid scratching up the floor, with plastic underneath the towels to catch spills. Cover any vents (more towels!) to catch falling needles. Don't fill the stand with water until the tree is fully set up.

A while back my family got a stand from a local seller that uses a spike that sticks in a hole they drill at the sellers. it works well. i also saw some kind of foot pumping stand look cool.
