The nip in the air tells us it's Christmas tree time!

And Johnny's gonna tell you where to get the best Christmas trees at the very best prices around. Gather round kids and uh, don't tell anyone Johnny told you so (Because they'll never find this post, we're practically invisible to the outside world our Technorati numbers say)...

Hoboken and Bayonne have a very nice system of city parks. In these well kept and well manicured parks you'll find pine trees. Some taller, some shorter and some wider than others. As you walk through the city park window shopping, make sure to think of the right size tree for you. Don't be a Clark W. Griswold and get a tree ten sizes too big. Right size it bucko.

Now, we're not saying take a saw and climb halfway up the pine tree and top it (Like we did at the Ypsi City Desk), that would be wrong. But you know accidents do happen and as the commercial character 'Mayhem' teaches us freak wind storms come up, a car could you know, whoops accidentally back into a tree (four feet up), insect damage can also cause trees to topple. Just make sure you don't let these unfortunate acts of Craftsma-- er nature go to waste. Pick up the broken pine tree and take it home. It's super cost effective in these dire economic times and those spiders in the tree weren't gonna make it outside all winter anyway.

Voila, a cost effective well kept Christmas tree for you and yours this holiday season. As Jersey City native Martha Stewart would say "It's a good thing."
