Tip of the Day 12/2/11

Consider an artificial tree. I miss the fragrance of the real one, but I don't miss the mess. There are plenty of ways to still have the fragrance and there are many beautiful trees to choose from. To enjoy the fragrance, this year we purchased a bag of Balsam Fir needles. I put them in containers around the house and in tea balls hanging in both trees. Try a florist or tree lot for the needles. A wreath is another way to enjoy the fragrance without as much mess.
