Water the treeA Christmas tree inside the house dries up quite quickly, particularly in our hot climate. Make sure your tree stays as fresh as possible by watering it often, especially on Christmas Eve, to ensure it looks lush and green the next day. After all, no one wants to wake up on Christmas morning and be greeted by a floor littered with dead pine needles.Browse more contemporary white interiors

Many people begin Christmas shopping as early as July and hide the presents away. Then come December, they forget who they’ve bought what for and have to begin again. It’s easy to buy little things along the way and forget you have them, but keeping a list will help keep track of this process.See more Christmas decorating ideas

Keep the tree cool To an evergreen that spent years growing in a field, your house is as dry as the Sahara Desert. And where do Christmas trees often look best? Centred in front of windows, where the strong summer sun streams in.
