Wrap it up, put it into a bag, take to garage. Simple.

I have a friend that built a small closet in his house, just to store the tree. He has a home-sewn dust cover he puts on it.

BTW, the stand is on wheels, so he just wheels it out and plugs it in.

But the activity of decorating the tree is the main point of having one in the first place. Pointless. Also, I’d rather skip the tree altogether before using a plastic one.

The first year we had a house (1980), we purchased a nice real Christmas tree. That evening we had a lot of the OR staff over for a "tree-trimming" party. Had a wonderful time decorating, etc.

The next morning, Mrs. George could barely breathe because she was allergic to something on the tree (mold?). The tree was outside, on the driveway, within hours.

Plastic ever since. :hide:

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
We have an artificial tree, 26 years old now, and still looks great. Ts one that you have to build, inserting each branch, not just unfold. They you must decorate it like a real tree. We love it and it has become a family ritual. Last time I did a real tree I ended up cabling it with fishing line just to keep it upright.

That's a very valid excuse, of course :)

It was pretty scary. She was wheezing up a storm. If we didn't have some epinephrine at home, I would have taken her to the ER.
