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.
I got a fair price. Sure, it's a lot of money-- but we save up extra to have a special tree each year. We are also paying for the convenience of picking it up on a street just blocks from our home. No need to strap it to a car or anything. I am sure some of the cost comes from transporting the tree from North Carolina (where the man said it was from) and keeping it healthy. Also, they need someone to stay with the trees 24 hours a day, so that none are stolen... But when it's bitter cold outside and you've walked blocks to and from the subway, trudging through wind and slush, nothing beats coming home to a twinkling tree during the holiday season.
