real tree weekend

we are getting a tree. we have never done it before. how do you pick? once upon a time i thought, a tree is a tree is a tree. but the 45$ versus the 150$ price tag has alerted me to the fact that this is not the case. somebody give me the details, is finding the perfect tree like finding the perfect man or do i stand a chance?

The worst type of tree you can buy is the Norwegian spruce. It dies and sheds quickest.

Remember, a tree is for life, not just for Christmas.

Also you don't pick trees - they're too big. You uproot or transplant them.

You could go and dig one up from the local woods...

or maybe from an annoying neighbors lawn.

I'm thrifty... chuckle chuckle.

also, you have to water a tree.
