If you're gonna buy one why not get one with the roots still intact and plant it out in the yard when you're done with it.??

Drafter, and just think of the carbon credits you'll get once you put it back in the ground. Al Gore would be proud.

We actually did that one year when our kids were little, what a pain in the Ass!! At least in a cold weather state it is.Buy the tree, acclimate it to garage (barn) temp.for a week,take in house for about a week at most, back to barn for a week to re-acclimate(oh ya and don't foget to dig hole before ground freezes or.....) put tree in hole and hope like hell it lives. Ya great idea (NOT) lol

Hack it down. Enjoy it for 2 weeks. Then take it out and leave it on the ice of your favorite fishing hole. Catch panfish around it in the spring.

Hack it down. Enjoy it for 2 weeks. Then take it out and leave it under the car of someone you don't like. Light it, crack a beer and watch the show.

We've had two Halloween bonfires in our new place. Last year's Christmas tree was the guest of honor at this year's bonfire. It make some nice 'fireflies' when those uberdry needles started burning.

My gosh, folks. For the most part these trees are "farmed" just for this purpose. It's not like they're cutting down virgin glowth forests. No different than buying flowers for the wife/GF.
