$60. Wow! Sure makes me happy when every year I walk out behind the house with a saw and bring back a tree. Shoot, we have a neighbor out of work so I invited him to also come cut a tree for his family. Dang, I love living in the country!
Just make sure you don't do what my dad did one year when he volunteered to bring a Christmas tree into my elementary school (back when it was legal to do so) . . . ended up cutting down a beautiful Christmas tree with a perfect shape . . . too bad it turned out to be "cat spruce" . . . looked nice . . . smelled terrible . . . like cat urine when it warmed up inside the classroom. Never asked or volunteered to bring a tree into school . . . or anywhere else after that incident.
