Oh Christmas Tree Of Mine

Jason Kirchner of the U.S. Forest Service attaches the official tree permit to his office's holiday tree Friday, Dec. 10, 2010 after he and Mark Grant cut the tree down on National Forest land near Coeur d'Alene.  It cost only $5 to cut a tree on National Forest or BLM land, but the tag must be attached to the tree before leaving the forest.  Kirchner is a public affairs officer and Grant is a fire management officer. (Jesse Tinsley / The Spokesman-Review)

Question: Do you cut your own Christmas tree? Buy one from a tree lot? Or do you have an artificial tree?
