Well, water is a very important part of keeping a Christmas tree healthy. The water helps to keep the tree hydrated and prevent it from drying out. It also helps to prevent the needles from falling off prematurely. In addition, the water helps to keep the tree's branches and needles in good condition so that they look fresh and vibrant. Some people like to add other things like food coloring, lemon juice, or preservatives to the water to make it look more festive.
