How to Get Your Christmas Tree Home, Fuss-Free

If you have a roof rack, secure the tree, from where the branches start to its tip, with bungee cords or rope. Those without a roof rack should first open all their car doors—not the windows—then tie the tree snugly to the roof with rope. For trees that extend more than a couple of feet beyond your car's bumpers, tie a reflective flag to the end to alert 
other drivers.
