This holiday season, instead of choosing between a live or fake Christmas tree, consider renting one instead. Many landscaping centers will rent you a live balled evergreen tree. They'll deliver it to your home, where it can be inside for about a week (or even longer if you keep it outside -- on the front porch, for example). When the season is over, they'll come pick it up. You can also rent artificial trees from prop houses, which are the places where set designers rent items for photo shoots.
