A gran has shared a simple way to reduce mess whilst having your Christmas tree up that only takes a couple of seconds to do.
While Christmas trees are the pinnacle of the season and they look great covered in lights and baubles, they can be a nightmare because of all the mess they generate - from falling pine needles to pieces of wood from the trunk.
But "everyone's grandmother" Babs on TikTok, also known as @Brunchwithbabs, has revealed how you can keep any mess to a minimum and enjoy the season without worrying about any unsightly tree debris.
Babs has racked up an impressive 2.9 million followers on the video sharing app thanks to her wise advice and lifestyle hacks she often shares.
And with Christmas just around the corner, she's been busy helping people prepare for the festive season if they're hosting family and friends, or if they just want some helpful DIY tips.
One of her recent videos about Christmas trees has proven to be very popular, with over 300,000 likes.
In the clip, she talks about how to achieve the "perfect" tree with five simple steps - but one in particular stood out and there's still time to do it.
After selecting her tree, she said: "Now's the time to think about that Christmas tree bag.
"Take a disposable Christmas tree bag, fold it in half - next you're going to cut the corner and place the hole over the tree trunk."
Then, showing the Christmas tree now upright in her home with the bag at the bottom, Babs added: "You know the skirt's going to hide all this.
"At the end of the season, this is going to lift right over your tree and it's going to save your house from a huge mess."
You don't need a specific Christmas tree bag to do this - just any large piece of plastic or a carrier bag will suffice.
