Christmas Trees with Treesleigh
I don't watch the local news all that often, but was tuned in to FOX for The Simpsons / Family Guy last night. They touched upon a subject that's weighing heavily on everybody's mind this time of year: picking out a Christmas Tree. No, not Homer or Peter - although they're just as likely to face the fir-picking stress as well. This is a local company, it seems, but their Christmas Tree rates aren't all that shocking (after having celebrated a decked-halls Christmas in Los Angeles). Growing up, the family would venture out together on a Sunday afternoon and pick out the pine tree that looked best for our living room. I haven't experienced that for a while now - which isn't to say that it's not possible in the Pacific Northwest, just that I'm struggling to find the time, the right lot, the right tree, the right price, etc. So check this out:
Treesleigh is based in Seattle, WA and is supported by 3 employees, a fleet of bright red Christmas tree delivery vans, and “Douglas,” the TreeSleigh.com mascot. We are is geared up to deliver hundreds of trees to homes and businesses throughout the Puget Sound region. TreeSleigh.com is an active member of the NCTA (National Christmas Tree Association) and the PNWCTA (Pacific Northwest Christmas Tree Association). We are proud to have been chosen as a finalist in the national 2004 “Marketer Of The Year” award for outstanding Christmas tree marketing ideas.
Yes, they deliver your tree AND pick it up from your residence - all for a modest sum. All things considered, I think Ponzi and I agree that this is the route to take this holiday season. We love having a real Christmas Tree in our home, and don't believe this convenient service will take away from that experience in the slightest.

This is just wrong! The experience you remember as a youngster is about the pursuit of a tree not just having a tree. We used to make a day of picking out the perfect tree from a tree farm that had various animals to pet, a hay ride, drinking hot chocolate or spiced tea while you ran around trying to find the perfect tree. This is just another way to abdicate our responsibility of making Christmas traditions…. thank goodness you have no children building childhood memories of waiting by the door for the Christmas Tree Man delivering the yearly tree…
P.S. I've got to get in the attic this weekend to fetch my genuine artificial pine tree complete with built in lights…. traditions …

Yeah, for real. I mean, in the days of 300 gigs of transfer for $6/month, can you really afford to trust your Christmas tree needs to a company with bandwidth issues? (I realize they're a member of the “National Christmas Tree Association” and the “Pacific Northwest Christmas Tree Association” n' all, but…)

Just think of the video possibilities that you two will miss out on, by not cutting down your own tree.
