Some Christmas traditions - stringing lights, hanging wreaths, and the
ever-popular post-revelry pine needle pickup - are less than joyful. That's
why we've come up with a whole host of products and advice for both indoors
and out that can help preserve your Yuletide cheer.



A Tree for All
Seasons<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=ijrynzaab.hgyfa7n6.oou9ozaab.c7xthsn6.125759&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thisoldhouse.com%2Ftoh%2Fknowhow%2Fyardandgarden%2Farticle%2F0%252C16417%252C546883%252C00.html>


Want to create an evergreen legacy that will give you pleasure for years to
come? These days many people are opting to use a tree bought at a nursery or
tree farm rather than a typical cut Tannenbaum. Learn what advantages living
varieties offer as well as how to put yours in the ground when the
festivities are over.



On the
Ball<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=ijrynzaab.hgyfa7n6.pou9ozaab.c7xthsn6.125759&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thisoldhouse.com%2Ftoh%2Fknowhow%2Fhometech%2Farticle%2F0%252C16417%252C548392%252C00.html>


Imagine a glittery decoration that can sound an early fire warning. Now
there's one tree ornament that does double duty - as a light and a heat
alarm. Here's all you need to know.



Simple Kitchen
Makeovers<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=ijrynzaab.hgyfa7n6.crlnd6n6.c7xthsn6.125759&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thisoldhouse.com%2Ftoh%2Fknowhow%2Fkitchen%2Farticle%2F0%252C16417%252C591162%252C00.html>


Kitchen renovations are among the most expensive improvement projects a
homeowner can undertake. But it is possible to give that tired room some new
life without breaking the bank. Here's a rundown of some easy and affordable
kitchen upgrades.

A good pair of boots is as important as the right tool when you're working on
an outdoor home-repair project. Look for tough leather uppers, rugged treads,
and a defined heel to keep your feet from slipping on a ladder. Remember that
the higher the top of a boot, the greater the ankle support -- which is
especially important when you're working on uneven surfaces.
