Hi Again Mary -
There is a product available at computer and 'Office Depot' type stores
that is in fact called a 'threshold.' It covers 6 feet or so (~2m) of
standard electrical cord and costs about 10$. It is of heavy flexible
vinyl and should do what you want it to do.
The liabilty questions are more complicated, but then seasoned Community
Foresters know that anything we do raises liability possibilities. (It
is somewhat chilling to think that not doing anything protects one from
liability suits :) ...
One big word of caution from past discussions here is that PLEASE remove
your strings of holiday lights from around trees after the season is
over. Also you may find that ordinary duct tape performs a similar
function, at less expense. Still we cannot deny that Christmas brings
us some of our best opportunities to enjoy the beauty of and symbolic
appreciation for trees, especially our conifers.
