If You Have A Live Christmas Tree Read This Blog!
Do you buy a real Christmas tree? If you do you are bringing more into your home than you thought.
Did you know there are thousands of bugs in real Christmas trees? Research shows there could be as many as 25,000 bugs in an average tree.
Researchers say the bugs are tiny and not dangerous. They suggest checking for eggs on trees before taking it home.
Researchers also suggest leaving it in the garage for a few days.
Maybe that artificial tree is the way to go. No bugs. No watering needed. They last for years. They come with lights.
But we all know real trumps fake every time. Well, most times.
