"We all definitely choose differently, I like them tall,"
Charlotte resident Nathan Powers believes he chooses the perfect tree every year. However his family doesn't agree, especially his mom, who get's the final say.
"I always get voted out, I get the beautiful tree, they just get these half tree's,
"She get's the ending vote,"

"The customers make it worth while, everybody is happy, everybody is happy getting ready for the holiday, everyone is in the mood.
