When I was a kid, I remember bundling up and heading to a local tree farm to choose the perfect tree. We didn't get a live tree every year, but those years that we did certainly held a special place in my heart. I still remember going out and searching and trying to find just the right one.
Isn't that such a great family tradition!?
Still, it seems more and more families are going to the more convenient option of a fake tree. I must admit, I am included in that. And let's be honest--- it does have it's benefits. You pay once, it's done. No falling pine needles to worry about. You can get them prelit. No transporting a real tree. Well, you get the idea.
Perhaps one of the biggest concerns in using a real tree (at least for me), is the increased risk of tree fires. Did you know that U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated annual average of 200 home structure fires that began with Christmas trees in 2011–2015 (per NFPA.org)?
While fires can occur with both real and fake trees, dryness in real trees can be a common culprit. The trees get dry and make them much more of a fire hazard, which is why keeping them properly watered is so crucial! But if you've experience a real tree, we know what a pain in the behind that can be... having to constantly move and reach over gifts and under a full tree just to check. Oh boy! There has to be a better way, right?
Enter Evergreen Elf!
The Evergreen Elf has a very important mission... to protect your tree AND your family from tree fires! Simply attach this cute little guy to your tree stand and let him do the monitoring. When the water starts to get low, he will provide both a visual flashing as well as an audio alert. This lets you know it's time to refill before it's too late. I love that it provides both, as I know in my home, flashing lights could be easily overlooked at Christmas time! You no longer have to get down under the tree to check manually, just let this fun little dude do his job!
Not only is the Evergreen Elf extremely handy and a great preventative tool, it's also a lot of fun! First and foremost, he's adorable.
