If it turns out before Christmas, that we don't have a Christmas tree stand, it is easy to make it yourself from the plaster remains from the last renovation. The Christmas tree is placed in a plaster cast, prepared e.g.. in a large plastic bowl. You have to remember, to insert a wooden peg into the plaster and remove it before it solidifies, when the plaster starts to set. Pin, slightly conical, it is worth brushing with ordinary cooking oil for frying, paraffin or other lubricant.
