We are finally moving this week into our remodeled home and have no Christmas tree yet!

We have always had an artificial tree except one year MANY years ago, and I remember the stand was such a problem. I'm hoping the stands have improved over the years-maybe not? We have Saltillo tile floors throughout the house, so no carpet to deal with pine needles. No allergies in our house either.

We got rid of our faux Christmas trees when we moved this summer and my DH is insisting on a live tree from now on and I agree, but, we need some tips!

So, any tips on tree stands, or tips in general, for LIVE Christmas trees?
