- We had the exact same thing happen to us this weekend. My husband went to
- water the tree and happened to be barefooted; what a shock! All the water
- that we had been feeding the tree was going into the carpet.
-
- We will stick with the regular old metal tree stands now. The plastic one
- had a split in the seam that we had not noticed.
-
- Happy Holidays to all and may all your floors be dry!
