I honestly have no idea how much trees go for. This is gonna be my first year buying one. I always grew up with a fake one. I'm sure its more than I want to spend on something I'm gonna just throw away.

Got mine for 80 bucks with flock on it. I think it is a douglas fir almost 7ft tall. I didnt know there were different types of xmas trees until this year. I actually paid attention this year and read the tag.
Id say between 40-80 bucks is a good number. Unless you wait until the very last second. But then you end up with a Charlie Brown Xmas tree.

I'm all about the fake tree! Fuck having a dead tree in my house with mites, bugs, pollen and god knows what the fuck else is on it. Plus only about 5 needles fall off rather than 500. Lights are already on the damn thing and it actually looks real. Get some pine scented candles and your strait. Plus it's a 6 1/2' tree and was $45 after Christmas 5 years 4 years ago.
My son has althsma too so to hell with draggin a pine tree into my house. Dog would prolly piss on it too. 8 month old baby would start eating the needles or some crazy thing.\
BAA HUMBUG on real tree's

Fake trees are nice, but there is nothing better than having the real one and smelling a true christmas tree. That's what makes the holidays.

Eddie target, michaels or any other store really carries the candles they are easy to find. If all else fails then just get some pine car freshners and hang them on the tree.

We cut down a fresh tree a few years ago. I found a big old bumble bee in it, he warmed up and wasn't happy about being in my house. I hate finding shit like that in my house.

i'd never had a xmas tree until this year. GF decided that a fake tree was in order. Decided not to argue and just went along with it.
Am i that much of a weido? i really don't see the point of getting one unless one has children.

I just took the kids up to Apple Hill and they have tons of "cut it yourself" places. I already had the idea of MY "perfect Christmas tree" in my mind, so it took visiting 4 places to find the perfect one. My wife said I was acting like Clark Griswald searching for the perfect one. Anyway I found one that I thought was perfect for $60. I did not think it was as tall as it actually was when I cut it down. I got it home and it was about 9 feet tall!! Lucky for me I have cathedral ceilings that are 15 feet tall! Also, I know this sounds "ghetto" but I went to the car wash and sprayed the tree down while it was still on top of the Expedition and I havent seen any bugs, etc...

i wanted to go cut one down this year bc i havent since i was a kid but was told no need for it bc my mom bought a fake one last year (haha I didnt even notice last year it was a fake one ) but I like real ones better they smell better and its fun going to get them but fake is less of a mess and your not cutting down a tree just for a couple weeks then throwing it away
