3. Add some sparkle and light. Don’t be afraid to add some glittered pine cones or red ornaments to your arrangement.  Lights, of course, are also a must. This time of year there is more hours of dark then light.  It is Christmas after all make it special!

2. Water your container.  After arranging,  water your container well. Not only will this help your greens last longer it also will keep them in place after the soil freezes.
