When is the Best Time to Purchase a Real Christmas Tree?

According to Forbes, the best time to buy a real Christmas Tree is around Thanksgiving. The article states the following:

Many tree farms have sales around Thanksgiving, which is usually the best time to buy a real Christmas tree—and is oftentimes even less expensive than waiting to make your purchase on Black Friday or later. Unlike artificial trees, which are frequently imported from overseas, a benefit of shopping at a choose-and-cut tree farm is supporting a local business.

The article also states that if you wait up until the week of Christmas to buy a tree you'll more than likely find the lowest prices available but of course, that means you run the risk of a much narrower selection to choose from. Will you be purchasing a real tree this year or will you be going with an artificial one?
