Frugal Christmas Tree

Dear Diary,
Now that it's December, Christmas is really just around the corner. It seems like every year, I have plenty of time to prepare for Christmas and then December comes and it's like a roller coaster ride from there on... wee hang on for the ride.
I don't know where you get your tree, my dear diary, but we have picked up ours from our local Ikea for the past I don't know how many years. And to be honest we haven't had a bad one yet! Trees can be pricey but not at Ikea; they are just $20 no matter what size you get. The trees at Ikea are Balsam Fir; the only downside to them is that they are pre-wrapped with twine so you don't get the best view of your tree. However you can still tell if it's bushy or slender, tall or short. Oh and another good thing about these trees is that when you buy one you get a coupon for $20 off a $75 purchase the following year. (Coupon is redeemable from January 2 to February 28). And Ikea will also donate a portion of tree sales to Tree Canada.
Don't have an Ikea in your area, well that's tough luck I guess.
