Good thing to know, even though I use an artificial tree!!!! High FIVE! Hopefully, more home fires will be reduced if people see and use this. :+D

If I wasn't so jinxed on xmas trees I would try this. But as it is... I always end up with a tree doing back flips in my living room. whether it be real or fake. so I think I will pass this tid bit on to my friends who just have to have real trees every year. Thank you for posting. K8
