I'm sure some one has done this before but I had an idea to put my tree on wheels to make it easier to decorate. I bought an inexpensive wooden disk intended for table tops, drilled holes in it, and installed eight rolling casters. I secured the tree stand to center of the disk. We decorated the tree in the middle of the room, making it easy to access all sides, and very handy for stringing lights all around. Once it was fully decorated we wheeled the tree into the corner. A tree skirt covers the disk and wheels.

Christmas tree on wheels....
Puts me in mind of that old beloved Christmas Song....
"Grandma got run over by a Christmas tree,
Coming home from our house Christmas Eve,
You can say you don't believe in Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe."
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!

I know why
I didn't think of it; I'm not that smart!!
I only know what I know, and I don't understand very much of it, either.
