Today's Deal:$27.50 For 5'-6' Noble Fir Christmas Tree, Home Delivered From Gem House Logs ($55 Value) - 500 Available

Ebenezer Scrooge wasn't always such a scrooge, but you know what ultimately destroyed his Christmas spirit? An ill-fated tree-shopping excursion. After waiting in line for an hour and being grossly overcharged for a rather dry, crooked tree ("It's the last one on the lot, mate, take it or leave it,") Scrooge was told he would have to provide his own twine to lash the thing on top of his carriage. Having none, he decided to use his suspenders and, holding his pants up with one hand, he wrestled the tree onto the carriage as a shower of pine needles and snow rained down the back of his neck.

Driving home, his carriage got stuck in a snow drift and the tree started leaning precariously to one side. Scrooge leapt from the carriage just as the suspenders broke free and the tree fell, toppling him backward and pinning him to the ground. Laying in the cold, wet snow with his pants around his ankles and pine branches poking at his eyes, Scrooge coined the phrase "Bah, humbug" on the spot.

This year, save your Christmas spirit as Gem House Logs rides to the rescue, delivering a fresh green five-to-six-foot Noble Fir right to your doorstep! Don't have a house? No problem! These guys also just happen to be log-home experts, specializing in the year-round construction of solid, well-built cozy cabins. Trust me, they really know their trees. They really know about giving, too. This year Gem House Logs is giving all of the profits they make from this deal to the non-profit, Genesis Service Dogs. They just want to help.

With today's tree-mendous CitySmart deal, while others are paying tree-lot prices of $35 to $50 (and more) for the privilege of hauling their trees home, you'll pay as little as $27.50 for a beautiful fresh-cut, hand-selected Noble Fir, including home delivery, for an incredible $55 value and you’ll be helping out a worthy non-profit. You’re actually giving as you’re getting a heck of a FaLaLa Fir for your festivities.(Note that gratuity is encouraged and greatly appreciated.) After you decorate it, you'll probably be warming your tootsies by an open fire, drinking hot cocoa while others are still dashing through the snow with a tree strapped to the car roof and sap all over their hands. It’s okay to giggle quietly to yourself a bit over that one.

Need a taller tree? Just pay five bucks more for a six-to-seven footer, or ten bucks more for a seven-to-eight footer, all farm fresh and guaranteed gorgeous. Purchase this deal by clicking the very merry "Buy Now!" button above, then call Gem House Logs at (208) 761-4884 to arrange delivery. Merry Christmas!
