It's not much cheaper than buying it in town - but it revives that pioneer spirit - in some manner. California A sign "California Christmas Tree Growers". Families walking around the field of Christmas Trees and their looking for the right one to chop. The backside of a man carrying an axe looking at the Christmas trees. A woman holding a toddler in her arms as the child grabs at the branches of a Scotch Pine. A little boy kneeling next to a tree with and he is sawing at the trunk of the small tree.
