Even though we are early by our standards, it seemed that a lot of tree lots were closed this close to Christmas - the old ways are giving way to the high speed put your tree up after Thanksgiving and take it down the day after Christmas Day - so we decided not to look farther at other tree farms for a Fir and stuck by the ubiquitous White Pine - Calum cut nicely perpendicular and at the perfect height above the ground so that with barely a whisker of room (I'd say 1/8th inch) the tree fit perfectly into the stand with no fiddling around - the stand by the way I bought in Cramer's old 5 and 10 store in North East back in 1957 - $10 and still going strong
