It’s a tradition to put a Christmas tree in house from 18th century. Before Christmas, American people are eager to cut a Christmas tree in the park by themselves. However, you should get a license for cutting Christmas tree first, and you only can cut the tree in the place that pointed by their Forestry Department.
There are some other ways you can get your Christmas tree. If you want to get a beautiful one, you can go to the Christmas tree farm to pick one. There, farmers raise the little Christmas tree in purpose, and they are clipped into a really standard Christmas tree with a beautiful shape. Some people will choose to buy Christmas tree in store, but the price is very high, a beautiful one maybe up to $120. Besides, as shop keepers will store the Christmas trees in advance, you should know the way to test the tree you buy whether good or not. You can shake the tree slightly, once the tree has many leaves falling down, it’s better not to buy it. A beautiful Christmas tree not only means the delicate shape, but also the leaves are green and smell pure and fresh. Now in Hawaii, people like to use the artificial Christmas tree. They can bring the trees to ship, and decorate them. When Christmas is gone, they can store the trees for the next Christmas. It’s really a convenient way to save your money and cut the spending.
Generally, a cut Christmas tree can be alive for 4 to 5 weeks. After Christmas, it’s a big problem for the government to dispose of dead Christmas tree. If you want to do something for environment, you can buy an artificial Christmas tree for your Christmas. And of course, it can be used for your next and next Christmas.
