While trekking to a tree farm in your favorite snow boots and a cozy sherpa is snapshot-worthy, there are so many benefits to keeping it simple and buying an artificial Christmas tree.
For one, you don’t have to worry about removing all the fallen pine that will adorn your tree skirt before you know it (though one of the Dyson vacuums we reviewed can help with that).
Secondly, you don’t have to go through the hassle of chopping it down, propping it on your truck’s roof rack and having your fingers crossed that it will (1) fit and (2) stand upright. With the right tree storage bag, you simply have to assemble, ornament and enjoy the twinkly lights for the winter season.
Oh, and frosted pine-scented Febreze is always a good idea.
