The holidays are hectic enough without adding more stress with the centerpiece of any holiday home: the Christmas Tree. So here is a sample of ChristmasTreeForMe.com’s “Top 10 Christmas Tree Buying Mistakes And How To Avoid Them”:

Mistake #1: Waiting for a Christmas Tree Sale

Live Christmas trees rarely ever go on sale—unless it’s really last minute or it’s a tree on its last legs. With artificial trees, when you find the tree that you want, buy it right then. Chances are that if you like plenty of others will too. The best trees do not go on sale; the best trees are often sold out before Thanksgiving.

Mistake #2: Reluctance To Buy Online

Every year, more and bigger purchases are conducted online. Today, even cars and homes are purchased online! Even so, there are some that still prefer seeing (and buying) a tree in person. Consider this: why would you buy a Christmas tree from a local store that, on average, has 90% less selection that online Christmas Tree companies?

Most local retail locations show only 5 models of trees and 3 heights. When it comes to artificial trees, the best selection, quality and newest innovations are almost always found online first. What’s more, you can compare them all within the comfort of your own home.

Mistake #3: Skimping On The Lights

It is amazing how many people say “I want to save money and put my own lights on the tree.” The cost of stringing your own lights every year adds up. Why not consider buying a pre lit Christmas Tree? The lights should be designed to allow bulbs to burn out without causing the entire string to go out. Lights should be warranted for at least 3 years or 3,000 hours.
