What if you rigged something with a water bottle similar to those automated pet water bowls?

I vote for a Rube Goldberg contraption using holiday decorations, sweets, and the like.

I, too, am getting sick of watering the tree.

And the stand we have for it barely holds 20oz of water, so I have to water ours 2-3 times a day

you could hook up a separate container with a hose that drains into the tree stand.... at least it stops you from having to crawl under the branches every time

I've never seen a tree stand as deep as a 5 gal bucket... Not sure what they are going for with the siphon thing
