My first real tree in 30 years, and well worth the little extra. I bought a 6′ at Eastern Market for $40 a couple of Fridays ago. My first real tree in 30 years, and well worth the little extra.

It's beautifully shaped, the service was awesome (as always) and it cost as much as a similar tree at Wal-Mart, without the icky box store feeling. Love my 5-foot White Pine from Frager’s.

It's a lovely 8-footer and cost us $80 with an extra wreath thrown in. We bought ours at Eastern Market and carried it home in the snow on Saturday.

Our 8 footer is gorgeous and $79 covered the tree, the support finding a good one, the fresh cut, getting it wrapped, and getting it tied to our car for the ride home. For me, that was well worth it and a good opportunity to support one of the Hill's very best businesses. Bonus, I think you guys already reported that they are going to have Santa there this weekend.
