*grin* I just found out that trying to explain something I take for granted is HARD! ;) But here goes:
Sure, you want a nice Christmas tree--maybe you want it straight like Dad does, and you want it to be green instead of withered and brown, and you don't want to find unpleasant vermin in it, and of course it should fit in your house. But those criteria could fit quite a few trees on any Christmas tree lot--they're grown on Christmas tree FARMS, so they're all pretty similar. Beyond that basic list of criteria, most people aren't picky--the plan is to pile on decorations, anyway, and after all you're going to mulch it when the holidays are over. Plus, most of the lots around here have similar prices, so it's not a question of cost. So insisting on ONE PARTICULAR tree out of all of them, and deciding you'll check with other vendors to see if they're offering better trees, seems a little ... overzealous.
