Most people that live in the mountains where i do, cut themselves Silvertip firs for X-mas trees. They get top dollar for them in the big cities but are quite common around here. We do need to go up another 1000 ft or so of elevation though and there has been enough snow, if it don't melt off, to stop some from their first choice in a tree. Trees by the millions, everywhere you look...take your pick!
I'd much rather have a real tree but some folks use the fake ones and they do look awful nice too and do have their advantages.
Just FYI, One must be careful not to have or possess a "real" Christmas tree in, on, or near, a school zone. They have been known to; fall on and injure innocent children, be the cause of electrical shocks, be trimmed with several specific colors known to be gang related, burst into flames, and burn down houses! Anyone caught or suspected to possess x-mass trees within 1000 ft of a school will be sought out by tree sniffing dogs, with possession of such a tree, punishable by irrevocable suspension and/or expulsion, or, as in normal examples, banishment from the Community in general, if not, the State of Calif as a whole. This is a no tolerance, no exception policy, backed by your friendly Board of Education in strong support of their always expanding, "safer places for our young future leaders of America," agenda. j/k
