I hate when you put the tree up and you have to go through it straightening all the limbs out so there's not big gaps.Nice!!
This year I bought a new smallish tree. 4 1/2 - 5.
Figured less tree, less work but still was a pita. Got the brilliant idea to store it in something large to not disfigure or smash it as much as putting it back in the box would.
The search for a container was why it took this long. Ended up finding the biggest heavy plastic trash can with a lid that I could. Think it worked well will only I little smashage. Well see next Christmas.
