Well said! Thanks for posting the information about X being a monogram of Christ. Unfortunately, I think most people who use it probably are doing so out of laziness.
Since I work at the Food Lion on 42, I wont be biased. But we sell our trees for $29.95 and we have a lot left in stock, even though they dont have any problems with them. Hell, in the last month I sold 2, maybe 3.
We bought our tree from the Cleveland Rotary this weekend. They were set up at the Shell station on 42. It was $30 and absolutely gorgeous!
we got our Christmas Tree this weekend, at Lowe's Home Improvement, and it was $40 (7-8ft) and the angel's head is on the ceiling...it's got about 1500 lights on it....it's gorgeous! Smells fabulous! :mrgreen:
Down the road from Cleveland Middle is a tree farm, you pick it out, they cut it and load it. Any tree out there $15.00, was there yesterday and they have some nice looking trees left.
I got mine there too, it's beautiful. It actually reached the ceiling in my living room so it must of been 8 feet tall after being put in the stand. Only $30.00, it's the best deal I've seen and the profits go for a good cause.
If you haven't bought your Christmas tree yet, the Rotary Club is selling them near Food Lion on 42. I got a nice little tabletop tree for $15, and a fresh cut on the bottom. Plus I took home some trimmings to make decorations with, no charge.
