I generally like to go Christmas Tree "Hunting". Go to the local BLM, or National Forest office, and pay the $10-15 for a permit to cut down a tree. They point you to a proper area to cut (they generally do research on what areas need help with fuel reduction). I make a day of the day, get all bundled up, go trudging through the snow with family and friends till you find that perfect tree, then come home, and heat up hot cocoa and setup the tree. I usually do this a week or two after Thanksgiving. I try to get rid of the tree by mid-January.
I might start doing what my parents do, buy a live potted tree (3-4 feet tall), and then plant it after you're done using it as a Christmas tree.
