I paid $70 for a 7 foot. Never got a tree cheaper than $60. This year I cut it down at a wildlife sanctuary tree farm that plants three trees for every one purchased. Guess when tax is $20k on a tenth of an acre you should expect to pay more for a tree.

I was going to post something similar in regard to the prices/crippling taxes even on farmland. I've just said fuck it the past few years. The gf has a fake one anyhow.

1/2 a tank of gas in the disco and $32 at the local tree farm for a 8' white fir I and my kids cut ourselves...would have been $50+ on a nearby lot, but it was worth it to get the kids out and let them pick it themselves.

Too bad this wasn't posted at the top of the thread. The 'airing of grievances' has already begun...

Tree Permit from the Forest Service - $10
Getting the Disco stuck in deep snow because I got cocky and drove down a snowmobile track - $0
Getting towed out by some nice family out looking for a tree in the same area - Priceless.

A winch is on my short list.

I forgot to mention that my tree being from the wonderfull tree bearing capital of the Northwest was organically grown and the only water it received was from the urine of a 17 year old self proclaimed virgin.

I found the nicest tree, fake or real, that I've ever owned for $9 from the local thrift store. And got a really nice jacket and bitchin' nerdy sweater vest while I was there, too!

Sweater vest to go with your new glasses? Did you decide on bi-focals or progressives?

I get my new glasses Thursday. Show me yours and I'll show you mine....... :D

Stole it from the feed and seed Sunday when they were closed

My friend stole a tree a few years back. The cops followed the drag marks to his house and made him go pay for it. In his defense he had a little to much to drink.

I stole a tree up in Canada. Christmas eve up in Squamish traveling to Whistler. In my defense it was late, snowing and I was drinking(yes while driving). Don't all the folks in Canada drink and drive.
