Be careful not to become a statistic. It seems like you read about fires ruining Christmas every year. Since you are still weeks out, maybe a new "green" tree may be your best bet. Otherwise make sure you're home when you have the lights on.
Did you make a fresh cut across the bottom immediately before you put it in the water? If not, the tree can pull up water efficiently and it can become drier sooner. We always do a fresh cut and for some reason this year it didn't help much. Our tree is also really dry. We use the lights that don't heat up - I think most of them are that way now - and I unplug the tree from the wall when the lights aren't on.

Sounds like it was cut/shipped too early. Do you have a humidifier you can put in that room? That will help.

Is it near a vent? The hot air will dry it out as well.
I can't think of anything not already suggested..Good Luck!
