How do I make my christmas tree last?

Whats the best way to keep a Christmas tree from drying out? I put it in a stand that contains a couple of inches of water every year and still it dries out by the time Christmas comes. Is there something I should add to the water?

1. I use sugar and it works pretty good.
2. make sure it has a fresh cut trunk you might have to trim a little off if it is a pre cut tree. Keep it away from sources of heat as much as possible and I add sugar to my water.
3. re-cut the bottom of the tree and keep adding water the dryer your house the more water it will suck up
4. if you buy a christmas tree keep it in your garage until a week before christmas and hten put it up and decorate its been working with my fam for like 20 years!
5. SIMPLE....................just buy a fake christmas tree...that what i did and it's looks great for 12 years now!
