Usually store prices are a bit lower than cutting a fresh tree out on a farm, it's been about three years ago now, if I remember correctly, the last time we went to cut a fresh tree, I think the cost was fifty five for a six footer. Sounds steep but it's well worth the experience of the hay filled wagon ride out to whatever type of tree one is looking for, the playground the kids can play on while waiting for them to shake and wrap the tree, and the warm cocoa and other goodies inside the large shed decorated with a lot of vintage Christmas decorations and decor from Christmas passed. That was the only year I could get the grand kids mom to engage after telling her for years it's an experience that is well worth it, and the aroma of a fresh tree, there's nothing like it. She finally ventured out with us and agreed it was an experience worth it. I don't know what prices are today, I am not into store bought, done that for years and it just isn't the same with the longevity in comparison to fresh cut, but I'd imagine given a couple years ago it's running close in cost. Everyone is fighting inflated prices and it's not just in the cost involved with trees so they have to make that up somehow.
As kids we use to love the early darkness, we could hide a lot easier throwing snowballs at cars, lol, which we weren't suppose to be doing!
