I really like the idea of local trees that are cut fresh. Many of the trees that are sold by civic organizations are cut in bulk just after Thanksgiving and sit dry in a lot until sold. I find that fresh cut christmas trees are healthier, retain their needles and smell better.
Some after holiday thoughts for your tree: put it in the woods near your house as it decomposes it provides shelter for little birds and animals. You can also cut it into smaller pieces and compost it as it adds acid to the soil.
