Sure, you could go to any number of superstores and pick yourself a nice, pre-lit artificial tree right off the shelf -- but it's just not the same as making that annual trip to find a real evergreen. As such, we've rounded up eleven different places all around St. Louis to find the perfect, real Christmas tree, both pre-cut and cut-your-own.

Yes, heaving a tree on top of your car is more work that getting a tree in a box, and OK, it may eventually shed just like a cat. But that's just part of the process -- and the memories you'll make are totally worth any inconvenience. Besides, is anything better than the scent of real fir?
