Yesterday I put my cut Christmas tree on the porch with the fresh cut end in a bucket
of water...now the water is frozen...is this good or bad for the tree? Should I bring it in and let it thaw out? Thanks Lounge.

2. It's probably not doing it any good!
If it was me, I'd bring it in!

3. If you have a garage, bring it in there first

let it gradually thaw overnight. Then, bring it in and set it up. :hi:

on edit: Before setting it up either saw 1/4-1/2 in. off the bottom of hte trunk, or give it a smashing with a hammer to open it up so it will continue to draw water.

4. I'd build a nice fire, and
put the bucket in the middle of the fire to thaw it out and then everything will be fine.

Should I really have joined the Girl Scouts, like my Mom wanted me to, do you think?
