We borrowed a big dorm van and drove to the nearest Home Depot equivalent with Luke and Stephanie Welbourn, fellow BFA-ers... and picked out a tree. It was pretty painless. The men carried our trees to the cashier, threw 'em in the back of the van and we were off.
German tree stands are FANTASTIC! You drop it in and there is a wire that tightens around the trunk. No lying under the tree in a pile of needles depsperately trying to crank a screw into the base of a no-longer-straight tree. We are thinking of importing them...
We put on our string of lights, a few decorations I found in our crawl space and we were full of Christmas cheer.
