Arthur B. Meyer writes on the evergreen as a symbol of life eternal and a Christmas tradition. The piece covers history, market scales, Missouri specifics, cultivation, forestry ethics, and care tips for keeping trees fresh, ending with a note on the tree as a cultural visitor and a domestic symbol.
Safe Christmas tree lighting starts with inspecting lighting sets and extension cords. Use only outdoor rated sets outdoors, check for worn insulation, cracked sockets, and avoid overloading outlets. Use series or multiple sets correctly, keep spare bulbs handy, and ensure sets are listed by Underwriters Laboratories. Keep the tree hydrated by cutting the butt diagonally and placing it in water, removing it promptly after Christmas.
