Christmas Tree Sap is highly flammable with a flashpoint (90 degrees centigrade) comparable to that of diesel fuel (52-96 degrees). Keep your tree well hydrated, away from a heat source, and monitor how long you leave your lights on.
Even with these 3 things the the tree doesn't have roots, and is technically dead. So, it drying out is inevitable..

Your Friendly Neighborhood Maintenance Man here serving Neighborhoods in S/E Raleigh, parts of Garner, Clayton, and Knightdale. I focus on the odd jobs and smaller things that keep your home running efficiently without breaking the budget.  I've been doing maintenance, handyman, and carpentry work for a bit over 9 years. But I just recently decided to focus on maintenance, and took up work  as an apartment maintenance technician part time at various apartment complexes in the triangle area. 

Things break, but your budget shouldn't have too!! Why should you have to wait until next pay day or move money around to get them fixed. Doing light electrical, light plumbing, and some carpentry work, most jobs will cost $60 or less (plus parts), and take less than an hour to complete.
