The New York Times - A suitable place for salt

“If I had my druthers, I would leave my Christmas tree up all year,” writes editor-in-chief Ben Frumin. But, per negotiations with his family, he’s had to bravely settle for just two months of the year. So he needs a tree that’s easy to get into the house, set up, and get back into the garage once Christmas is over.

‌

Our top-pick artificial tree takes just minutes to set up. And it really does give the illusion of being an actual tree—without the sticky, needly mess of the real thing.

More holiday prep to get ahead on: 

• Some of our favorite Advent calendars are already selling out. 
• Deck your tree (or the halls) with the best Christmas lights.
