Unknown questions are NEVER stupid. Not asking is stupid.
Aspirins seem to keep the tree fresher. Fresher the tree, longer it stays greener and keeps the capillaries to the leaves fresher.
Depending on your city ordinances, I would encourage anyone who does use real trees; when Christmas is over, take outside (of course) and get it away from the house and take a lighter and just light the end of one of the leaves and STAND BACK. If you have never done this before it will show you how FAST and HOT one of those suckers can burn.
One last comment about "stupid." My definition of stupid goes out to the lady my guys responded to last week who had a kitchen fire. She actually had mounted a paper towel holder directly over the back of her stove. It caught fire; (GEEEZZ! Wonder how that could happen) She yanked it of the wall and threw it to the other side of her kitchen; in turn catching the other side of her kitchen on fire.
HERE'S YOUR SIGN!
Had to edit: Thought of another good tip: IF you happen to have a fire say, in maybe one room. I know you can always call a clean up service to help get rid of the oder, but a cheap little tip is to take a burlap bag, or one of those open mesh bags that potatoes come in; then take about a dozen or so apples; cut them each in half and put them in the bag. hang the bag in the room for a day and it should take the smell out.
