Abstract
A cover for carrying a Christmas tree so that needles on the tree falling from the tree are retained in the cover. A flexible sheet is wrapped around the tree and has overlapped edges secured together by snap fasteners. Straps strung through belt loop adjacent the top and bottom edges of the sheet draw the cover tight. A drop cloth is removably secured to the bottom of the cover by a zipper to catch needles and may be draped around the base of the tree when in use. A pair of carrying handles are connected to the sheet or alternatively, an adjustable strap is looped over the ends of the tree and cover for toting the tree and cover.
