Your Living Christmas Tree Is Most Likely Crawling With Bugs

When this time of the year comes, the euphoria and the Christmas spirit are boosted with the colorful Christmas trees in every single house, market, mall, and shops.

We all love them, but if you think about getting a live one and gather around it to open the presents, we advise you to think again.

Apparently, since the tree has been grown outdoors, it brings you guests to the Christmas party!

Mites

Mites most often live on douglas-fir, white pine, Fraser fir, and spruce trees, and prey on insect and mite eggs. They are small and difficult to notice, with a light color.

They become active once they are exposed to heat.  They are harmless, but if you notice an old bird’s nest in your Christmas tree, remove it to avoid these parasites.

Aphids

This creature has 6 legs, no wings, and measures one-eighth of an inch. As soon as it enters your home on the tree, it mimics the conditions of springtime and activates their life cycle.

The most common variety is Cinara aphid, which lives in spruces, pines, balsam fir, Fraser fir, and white fir trees.

Spiders

Spiders are harmless too, but most people find them creepy. Yet, they control the bug population of the tree under control. Most spiders die off not soon after being introduced to the indoors.

To keep insects at bay, especially over the holidays, you should carefully inspect the branches and trunk of the tree, in order to check for visible egg sacs or other infestations.

When you buy A Christmas tree, leave it in the garage for a day to give the bugs time to leave it. Then, spray some neem oil on it to destroy the ones who have remained. Avoid the use of pesticides, as they are flammable.

However, having a fake tree can be as festive, and is your best option if you want to be sure that your tree is bug-free.

Partners Who FART In Front Of Each Other Are More Likely To Have A Long Relationship

Do you find this shocking? Farting, the thing you try to avoid so frantically in front of other people particularly your partner, can actually be beneficial for your relationship.

You may wonder how that is plausible, and isn’t your partner going to be bothered by the very deed, but read on, and you might change your view.

Mamy people try to show the best of themselves in front of their partner in order to make them fall in love.

This doesn’t mean just avoiding letting one go in front of them, but also to do many other normal, everyday activities.

But, a lasting relationship is formed on sincerity and trust, and you can only accomplish that by being as natural as you can.

This is even confirmed by Leah Decesare in her book called Naked Parenting. She explains the secrets of parenting and maintaining a lasting relationship.

Leah Decesare on Farting in Front of Your Partner

The author describes the moment when she accidentally farted in front of her husband for the first time. In fact, he remembers this moment even though it was over 20 years ago.

Obviously, her husband’s first impression after hearing her fart was “I want to marry this woman.”

He felt closer than ever, and he knew he’d always be with her. He enjoyed the fact that she let him into a different personal space. The moment she crossed the Toot-Line, her husband felt free to fart in front of too.

A solid marriage should be built on honesty, acceptance, and truth. In other words, a cozy spot where you can be free and completely yourself to the tiniest detail. It’s unlike other relationships. Women are normally too shy to fart even in a public restroom because somebody may hear them.

They hold it and wait until alone to ultimately let it out. However, this should be different with your partner. Be free and natural in front of them and don’t be shy of passing gas. Of course, we don’t say you should do it in front of strangers, but only when you two are alone.

Leah reveals that farting in front of your partner creates empathy, making you closer and even more charming to them. It’s a test to see if you can be 100% you, in front of each other.

Farting is Healthy

What’s more, farting is a normal process just like laughter and tears. It’s even unhealthy to hold it in. Dr. Oz describes it can cause stomach pain, cramps, and even bloating. Plus, you shouldn’t hide or ignore that part of you even though you share the most private things with your partner.

The average person passes about half a liter of gas in a day. So, this amount of gas has to come out at some point.

A Part of the Marriage

That’s right. You vow to stick together in sickness and health and to share everything. This is thought to bring you closer and make you stronger. Be honest to make your marriage steady and lasting. Be natural and don’t abstain yourself from doing normal stuff in front of each other.

This way, you’ll build and keep a solid foundation. This includes farting in front of your partner. It’s just a sign of your close and intimate connection with them. What’s more, they can make you laugh together, and a couple who laughs when alone is eternally a happy couple.
