It's now three weeks until Christmas and people are realising that if you've got a real Christmas tree - and you want it to stay looking green - then you need to water it every day.
With just three weeks until Christmas, millions across the UK have already set up their Christmas trees, hung stockings on the mantlepiece and ordered presents. However, many are only now realising that if you have a real Christmas tree, it needs to be watered every day - and not with a small amount either.
One perplexed husband, @corsten610, posted on the CasualUK subReddit: "My wife insists no one waters their Christmas tree in England." It turns out that people do indeed water their Christmas trees, and they require a lot of water. @atv_racer advised: "I sell Christmas trees. I always recommend to customers who buy a real tree, to keep it in a base that holds water and keep away from radiators/heat sources too."
"A tree will probably drink 1-2 pints in its first day of being set up, but will maybe only have 2-3 pints from day 2 until Christmas is over ."
