I guess there are some that still celebrate Christmas in NY. If it’s not too offensive.
probably snuck over to the Jersey Pinelands one night with a chainsaw...
Lot of money for a dead tree.
$1000 bucks for a tree, proves the axiom about a fool and his money.
Meanwhile, Mrs WBill and I put up the fake one we've used for the last 15 years. Still works fine, ornaments still hang on the branches. WBill Jr could care less what it looks like, so long as there's room underneath for presents.
We stopped using Real Trees long ago , I think they made us sick during xmas ,can’t remember , LOL
1,000 dollars in Manhattan is like 100 dollars for everyone else in America. Their net worth and annual salary are extremely high.
I live fifty miles from NYC, and I know a tree farm where all the trees are $50, 3 feet tall or 20 feet. I bought an 11 footer a few years back for only $40.
A couple high school boys will help you put it on your car, but setting it up, you’re on your own.
I just saw the I Love Lucy Christmas special and Fred Mertz buys a nice sized Christmas tree and it cost him $5 which apparently was a lot of $.
Live trees are still allowed to be sold in NYC?
Last year, our 10’ tree was $20, the most we had paid in years. We went to the same place this year and it was $70. Fuggetabboutit.
We drove down the road and spotted a sign that said “White Pines $15”. We got two 9 1/2 footers.
The guy met us carrying an “assault weapon”. He apologized and my wife laughed “I’m from here, son”. 50 caliber Beowulf modified AR-15 for hunting hogs.
We take ours out of it’s storage box, unfold the branches, assemble the three sections, and plug the sucker in! It’s about seven feet tall.
I like my fake one.
It already has the lights on it.
It’s nice and straight and even.
If it tips over you don’t get the brown water spilled all over the carpet.
If you want smell, buy a candle.
It did pay for the meals and rent and utilities of the families that grew the trees, transported the trees, set-up the trees, etc..
With those prices, it ain’t the trees that are getting flocked.

We stopped using live trees after a fire dept demo of just how fast a dry tree will burn.....
We bought ours yesterday for 40 bucks.
A perfect Noble fir here goes for $30 if you cut yourself. Helps to live in a rain forest.
Pray America woke
When I was a Sea Scout back in the 50s, we sold trees every Christmas to raise money for the annual pull-out for cleaning and painting. They used to go for 25 cents a foot. You wouldn’t believe the crying when we had to raise it to 50 cents a foot.
Unbelievable! But none of you libs move to Florida. I hear Maryland is nice.
