I am Working at a Semi Famous Christmas Tree Lot This Christmas Season, AMA

[Penny Traitor]

I sold Xmas trees one winter a long time ago so I have no questions for the OP...only advice.

Keep your hands and entire arms well covered. While I wore gloves, I only wore a flannel that bunched up while lifting trees exposing my bare arms to those needles frequently enough that I had tiny scratch marks covering my entire forearms until Valentine's Day.

They didn't hurt and didn't itch with proper care, but they looked like I had hives for months. Try to avoid the same fate and enjoy that extra holiday cash!

I actually have been working with my forearms exposed as well. I have a couple of tiny scratches but honestly nothing really noticeable. However, I will take your advice!

I’ve never had a real tree nor have I went to a tree lot to get one. Is this unusual

Not for people our age.

Can you ask Santa to please bring @dabears70 an industrial sized bottle of Extra Strength Neggaway300 for those long and cold CCS nights where he watches his reaction score dip and he cries to his male orderly about it? Thank you!

I never did either, but my parents were very stereotypical "flower power" hippies that saw chopping down trees for an over commericalized holiday as a bad thing. We had this tiny plastic one that would never pass for a real tree and was probably a major fire hazard stringing lights on it.

I also never went to a proper tree lot. I worked at a gas station that decided to sell Xmas trees in the dusty vacant lot behind the station. I got recruited to work that cold lot over the warm station.

I mean nothing says Christmas like a festive tree that reeks of gasoline and discarded bottles of Mad Dog 20/20.

How much $ does a tree go for? Do you sell Charlie Brown trees at discount?

If I see Santa I will.

I'm not really sure. I would say probably.

1) It entirely depends on what you're going to get tbh. Ranges all the way from like 30$-800$.

2) We don't have Charlie Brown trees.

Have you seen this man? I'm told he's like an Arab horse trader when it comes to Christmas tree price haggling...
