Any suggestions for christmas icicle lights and gutter covers?

linzobrn asked:


I installed gutter covers because I have large oak trees and continuously clean out my gutters. I really want to put up christmas lights this year, but I don’t want to remove my gutter covers to install the lights. Any other suggestions to hang the icicle lights on the gutters without removing the gutter covers? Thanks!

Our Christmas tree is dying at an alarming rate with 4 days left to go. Any ideas to make it last?

Jo asked:


I’m not sure what kind it is; it has short needles. The ornaments are dropping to the floor with a shower of needles landing on top of them; the tree skirt is completely covered! If I move it, I’m certain it will resemble Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree. Anyone know of anything I can add to the water, or is it just too late? Branches are beginning to droop as of this morning, in spite of it having had a fresh cut just prior to putting it in the stand and being watered daily. Help!

Can leaving Christmas lights on kill a pine tree?

christmas
Brian D asked:


We have a small pine that my husband left Christmas lights on for over a year. I recently noticed that it is dying and some needles and branches are turning brown. I had my husband take the lights off, but I want to know if there is anything else we can do to help restore this tree. I heard that 7 up works. Is that a myth or are there any other home remedies that could help?
