• Austin Area Texas Christmas Tree Farms
  You might have to drive a little further but you can make a fun outing from a trip to some of these tree farms -- including hayrides, hot cider and hot chocolate, and the fun of cutting your own tree.

Before you go, learn how to shop for the perfect Christmas tree then decorate your tree:

• Shop for a Christmas Tree - Complete shopping guide from About Forestry includes a Christmas Tree Quiz, lists of most popular trees, tips for purchasing online, from lots, and from tree farms, and how to care for a live/cut tree.
  
  
• Most Popular Christmas Trees - From Fraser Fir to Virginia Pine, here are the favorite Christmas trees of tree-buyers along with pictures.
  
  
• Types of Christmas Trees Grown in Texas - The Texas Christmas Tree Growers Association describes and provides pictures of five Texas Christmas Trees including Virginia Pine and Carolina Sapphire.
  
  
• Non-Traditional Aluminum and Tinsel Christmas Trees - I know we had one of those aluminum trees when I was a kid. Want that retro-look today?
  
  
• Upside Down Christmas Trees - No, you don't hang them from the ceiling. These artificial trees let you really show off your collection of ornaments.
  
  
• Decorate Your Christmas Tree - Live or artificial, it's the decorations that make it a Christmas tree.

After Christmas place your tree on the curb by 6:30 on your trash day for City of Austin Christmas Tree Recycling.
