Finding the perfect Christmas Tree

I grew up with fresh cut Christmas Trees and continued that tradition when my kids were young. We would go to a local farm and argue about which was the perfect tree until my feet got cold and I would cut something down. I had the room to grow my own so I purchased trees from the New Hampshire Extension Service. The trees were too small and sparse for Christmas Trees and were mocked by my kids. However they continued to grow in the 30 years since they were planted. I have a monster in my front yard that would put the one at the white house to shame. 

I decided several years ago to put up an artificial tree. I have enough house plants to water without dealing with a dead tree. Meanwhile the ones outside reach for the heavens. In 2012 I let my friends top one for their Christmas Tree. It has become an annual tradition for them on Dec 23 or 24th.
