Might I suggest that that you NOT vacuum up errant needles from your Christmas Tree? Most household vacuums' motors will be jammed/burned out with too many needles. A Shop Vac would be ok, but not your regular Hoover-type.
Yes, I know about the Christmas Tree bag - if I recall correctly, ideally you'd put it over your tree stand, then insert the tree into the stand and the bag stays puddled/gathered at the base of the stand. When you are ready to remove your tree, you'd just pull the tree bag around and up - then you could knot the top and drag it down to the trash. I used to leave the tree wrapped in the bag, but for years AAA (and probably other companies) have stated that the tree must be unwrapped and bare.
