Keep that real tree looking amazing well into the new year, as we clear up some of the mystery around all those things to add to tree water to keep it fresh.

And give a few of these old-fashioned Christmas traditions a try this year. (Just be careful who you appoint to be the Lord of Misrule. The middle child always gets carried away.)
