In spite of their oldâ€" fashioned appeal, candles should never be placed on, or anywhere near, a Christmas tree. You may also want to take note of the following tree tips for a fireâ€" safe holiday season: Q When buying your tree, do a freshness test. Hold a branch about six inches from the tip. Pull your hand toward the tip and allow the branch to slip through your fingers. The needles should be resilient and should adhere to the branch and not fall off in your hand. Q Another freshness test: lift the tree off the ground then bring it down abruptly on the stump end. The outside green needles should not fall off in substantial numbers. The inside needles do turn brown and shed naturally every year. Q Make a fresh, quarterâ€"inch cut across the base of the trunk. When a tree is cut, a seal of sap forms natuâ€" rally over its stump which keeps moisture inside the tree. It is imporâ€" tant to break that seal to allow the tree to "drink" in the water required to keep it fresh through the holiâ€" days. Q Keep plenty of water in the stand. A tree may absorb four litres of water in the first 24 hours and several litres thereafter. Q Position your tree away from all heat sources such fireplaces and television sets. Q Be certain all light cords and connections are in good working condition and are not frayed. Don‘t forget to unplug all lights when you go to bed or leave home. ]an.4, at Noon Concert Series 9, 8g:00 p.m eatre Series" dy in The Studio Theatre 8â€"4200
