Fields? Bah. Neighborhoods! There are plenty of people with perfectly good trees sitting right out in their front lawns, free for the taking, and if you work quickly enough you can probably get away before they notice what you’re doing.

Bah. HISS! Early in the day is a virtue. Before Thanksgiving is Weird.

Tho’ when we switch to U-cutting we better get our patooties out in the fields before the Joneses do.

Yeah, we were well and truly paid for our foray into Box Stores (though I’m not sayin’ I ain’t buyin’ paint and paintbrushes there).

We got our tree at Max and Hilde’s last year, and it was SPLENDID. Hopefully in future years we will go cut them at a family-owned tree farm, as is a tradition in (I think) both our families—but a family-owned nursery will do in the meantime :p

Technically we didn’t go in daylight, but they had well-lit greenhouse.

We did. We went to Max and Hilde’s garden store on Cornell. The tree is pretty.

...this is why some people buy their trees early. Teehee!

Oh dear....

While I enjoyed the writing greatly, as always, I’m afraid you have now tumbled right into a really touchy area which I lack the sense not to poke at…
Please, oh please, don’t buy a tree at a Huge and Impersonal Box Store. They don’t care. The trees know it. You know it. We all know it. Come to a local nursery and come in the daylight. Ours may not all be perfectly shaped either, but you’ll get a lot better service, a much fresher tree, a better selection, the satisfaction of supporting a small local business, and many many Santa Points. :-) Plus, we’ll be happy to see you!
