We always went and cut down our tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving and kept it up till New Years Day, not sure I will be doing that again.
Thanks all.
Yes! We also wanted only live trees and the first year we bought a potted Norfolk pine, using it again the following year. Then the next year we bought one at Lowe's and last year we went to one of the few "cut your own" farms to get a fresher tree. Soon they will be publishing the locations of the farms in the paper and I would highly recommend cutting your own, since you like to leave it up so long and the ones already cut are sometimes already a month or more old. I don't think they cost a whole lot more than we were paying up north, either.
