Originally, Christmas trees were decorated with coloured paper made into roses and chains, apples and candy. Candy canes continue as a tradition down to our day. Candles were used until the advent of electricity when colourful Christmas lights were invented along with modern ornaments. This tradition was introduced to North America by a Baroness from Quebec in 1781, then spread across the rest of Canada and the US by the early nineteenth century. Tree toppers like angels and stars are often added as a decoration in modern times to represent the nativity event.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.pinevalleytreeservices.ca\/app\/uploads\/decorated-Christmas-Tree-in-pine-park.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;decorated Christmas Tree in pine park&#8221; title_text=&#8221;decorated Christmas Tree in pine park&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.11&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.11&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve purchased a tree from one of our local farms, remember to water it to keep it fresh to prevent the needles from falling out and to preserve the natural scent. Like any live plant that has just been cut, Christmas trees need water and can drink up to a gallon a day. Your tree stand should hold enough water to refresh twice a day for two weeks and once a day after that until it\u2019s removed. You can help your tree drink more water by cutting about two inches off the trunk when you first bring it home to break the seal, then immediately place it in water.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.9.11&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>A growing tradition, is decorating a permanent outdoor tree with safe LED outdoor lights.
