We have decided to go back to the real tree this year and was wondering what's the best way to stand the tree?
My wife is suggesting a Xmas tree stand but I recall using a pot with sand when I was younger.
Just googled it and apparently you can also use a pot with pebbles in it.
Is there a best option?
Also, any other tips would be great.
We are in Canberra so might head out to gundaroo tree farm and cut our own down with the kids.
Get a sturdy box something shaped like a milk crate or a wooden one - cut a hole the size of the trunk and stack the box with bricks or rocks
to make it look festive wrap in christmas wrapping something sorta like this

We use a stand. Does the job and isn't too much fuss
Depending on how dense the tree is at the bottom/how long the trunk is, it might be a challenge to do with rocks/pebbles. Similarly, if you tip most in and find the tree isn't level, do you have to tip them all back out? (If you can't simply push/pull the tree to adjust)
Christmas Tree Stand or Pot?
definitely the ganja
Santa goes with green all the way… Hence the need for cookies…
I used a bucket with bricks then wrapped with brown paper and brow.
My family used rocks. The trees last a little longer and look nicer with plenty of water.
