It’s been a tradition since time immemorial (or at least since pagan days): the Christmas tree. A reader getting into the holiday spirit wondered where to get their piney living room centerpiece in the city, since it’s probably frowned upon to take a saw to some trees in Rock Creek Park.
Thankfully, at least for those among us with the Christmas spirit, trees are available all over the city. Here’s a few of our suggestions — as always, add yours in the comments.
Charitable Tree Lots:
*Ross Elementary School at 1730 R St. NW is selling (and delivering!) trees from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the first and second weekends in December.
*Saint Anselm’s Abbey at 4150 South Dakota Ave. NE is selling trees from 1 to 5 p.m. Dec. 9 and 10 only.
*Now through Dec. 15, the Boy Scouts of America have set up their lot at 7120 Richmond Hwy in Alexandria.
