I am blown away every year by how insane it is to pay that for a tiny tree for my children's. room.

It seems that the costs involve transporting the trees, the labor that they provide and rental for whatever van they sleep in at night. I don't know if they represent their own farms, or if they are buying the trees from someone else.

Christmas tree prices can vary significantly from block to block. Help us get a sense of the discrepancy - and whether you feel you got a fair price.
