This is only my second time being in charge of a tree, and the tree we got came from the grocery store next door with a wooden cross attached to the bottom. This seems impossible to keep in water. Is it ok if it is just nailed to the base, unwatered for like 15 days?
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

It's going to get very dry and the needles will start to fall off and make a mess.
You can get a cheap plastic stand that's cruciform and you just drop the damn thing in it and water it. It's not ideal but it will work.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Most of the trees we had when i was a kid had the cross attached. We always pulled the cross off and then put it in a tree stand

It's nailed in there good. Spent a while trying to pry it off.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Pull it off of the cross and then get a stand, if you can. It'll live a lot longer. Basically, trees (as living things) need water. If you water it, it'll be happy.

I can remember my dad breaking out the sledge hammer one year for that reason.
Maybe going back next door to the grocery store first and asking for suggestions would be easier.

Grocery store said to try to hammer it off, like Lee suggested. So we'll try that next.

Can you saw it off? It's good to do that anyway.

Do you have any kind of saw? It's usually best to cut a few inches off the tree bottom, so it will take up water better.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
