Alas, the only true Xmas tree is a natural (unshaped) Douglas fir ... which is now pretty much unobtainable. The shaved Douglases aren't sufficiently open enough for dangling ornaments. The Nobles just don't smell right. On the other hand, for the last decade, in those years when I've had the energy to Do A Tree (given that I've mostly been out of state for the holiday itself), I've cut one from the woodlot on my estate. (I.e., the volunteer redwood in the front yard.) This will be the last year for that, not only because of the move but because the main trunk of the redwood is impinging on the overhead wires and it's time for the whole thing to come out.
