Tips for a good day at the tree farm

• Go early. Opening weekend and the first week of December have the best pick, especially for tall trees. Weekday afternoons are the quietest.
• Measure first. Take your ceiling height and subtract the stand and the topper. Trees look smaller in an open field than in your living room, so bring a tape measure.
• Know your stand. Check how thick a trunk it takes. If yours uses a pin, ask the farm to drill the trunk.
• Dress for mud. Boots, gloves and layers. The fields are uneven and a saw handle gets cold fast.
• Bring straps and an old blanket. Your own straps hold better than twine, and the blanket keeps sap off the roof. Trunk faces forward.
• Have cash on you. Pauley's is cash or check only, and a couple of farms add a fee on cards.

How to keep your tree fresh

This is straight from the Ohio Christmas Tree Association and the farms:

• Cut about half an inch off the bottom of the trunk right before it goes in the stand. Cut straight across, not at an angle or in a V, and don't whittle the sides down to fit the stand.
• Get it in water within 6 to 8 hours of that cut. Use a stand that holds about a quart of water for every inch of trunk width.
• Check the water every day. A fresh tree drinks a lot the first few days, and the trunk can dry out even with some water left in the stand.
• Keep it away from fireplaces, heaters, vents and direct sun, and turn the lights off when you go to bed or leave the house.
