I'm having trouble locating the perfect christmas tree. I've been looking for years for one, but I can't find it at Wal-Mart, Target, JCPenny, Amazon.com...anywhere!

I want a small 4' or so White artificial Christmas tree, NON pre-lit. There are plenty of them out there that are pre-lit with white lights, but I don't want that. I want to light it myself :(

Does anyone know any online sites I can order one from?

    check home improvement stores like Lowe's, Home Depot, Etc. if they have those by you. They usually keep them in the garden section I believe.

    I bought my Christmas tree last year from a Lowe's. Only place I could find one that wasn't pre-lit and looked real nice and full.

    Lowes had prelit ones.

    consider delighting the tree yourself.

    Some prelit trees are just pre wrapped in regular Christmas tree lights. You could easily remove the lights with a pair of snippers and some manual labor.

    Last year my mom bought this wicked palm tree Christmas tree that came pre lit but the lights burned out so she removed them herself and relit it with her own lights.

    Go to one of the stores mentioned above and look how the lights are attached. Majority are just zip-tied on, so you can easily cut them off.

    Does it have to be 4 feet tall? You'd have better luck finding a 6ft-7ft tree.

    Yeah, I live in a tiny apartment so I can't get a super tall tree.

    I'll stop by Walmart and Lowes and check physically and see how the lights are. Maybe that'll come up well :)
