Yeah, but it's fun to try anyway!

As for the trees, here's what you do.  Put two chairs with
their backs facing each other about two feet apart.  Get a long length of
string and tie the tree bases along the string about a few inches apart so that
when you tie the ends of the string to the chairs the trees are hanging upside
down.  Get some weights and tie them so they hang off that last top bump.  Then
take a blow dryer to them, but not so hot that you melt them.

Then let us know how this works so we know whether we should try it or not.

You're welcome!
