First weekend in december (cant go this year... live too far away). I go with my fiance's family up to michigan. Drive to the same tree farm, take a wagon pulled by horses out to the trees, chop down our trees, have peppermint shnapps hot chocolate, tie them to roofs of our cars, then go to a brewery followed by bar hopping - all finished with crashing in a hotel. Awesome time. Maybe I can find a last minute flight cheap this year.

So . . . you'd buy it a plane ticket home? I doubt you'd get it past Homeland Security. An evildoer could use the trunk as a battering ram, then poke the pilot's eye out with a pine needle.

 
I can't stand christmas tree lots or fake christmas trees. Fake ones never look good to me, and the lots always charge at least twice the amount that you should pay for a tree. I go to a tree farm to get mine.
 
I always cut my own, although we recently (2 years ago) purchased a beautiful artificial tree. Three years ago, I cut my tree down the day before christmas, and took it down the day after christmas (and fed it to the goats.)
 
had a fake one every year growing up - we stopped because it just wasn't worth it anymore. Wife and I are going for a real one for the first time this year - planning on grabbing one this coming weekend. Umm, we have to buy a base right? No idea how it all works.
 
After reading this earlier today I made a point to notice if the ones around me were actually open or not and sure enough they were.
 
My family all gets together on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and goes to get our tree(s). Family bonding time and half of us are usually hungover. It's quite fun.
