Try cutting one down yourself this year! The permits only cost about $7-8 dollars for up to a 12 ft. tree, which is significantly cheaper than buying a real one at the store. We do it every year as our christmas tradition, and the kids LOVE it. Especially if there is snow, then you can go sledding too! There really is nothing better than the smell of a real christmas tree, and it's fresh so you don't get the needle mess so much.
We go up to the Jemez mountains. It's about 1 1/2 hr. drive up there. There is a building you stop at on your way into the mountains where you buy your permit and they give you a map of where to cut the trees down. Make sure you bring a saw, tarp, cash/check for the permit, and a way to secure the tree to your car. If you want to go with us, we are going up this Sat. morning. Let me know if you want to join in the fun! foreverfamilee@gmail.com
