I would wait to buy depending on where you live. I usually buy about a week and half before Christmas, make sure it is fresh by grabbing a branch and pulling down on the needles, only a couple should be in your hand if more then that its not fresh. Then instead of just water in your stand use 7 up or sprite it loves the sugar and keeps if fresher longer. Just make sure before you put in stand cut off half inch or so from the bottom of the trunk

Wait as close to the holiday as possible. No earlier than 2 weeks.
The one time when I was a kid that we had a real tree, we bought it a couple or 3 weeks before Christmas. Then put it on the back porch where it sat well into the middle of spring with no problems or daily upkeep, and the birds used it as a nesting place that was out of the elements.

If you buy it a month ahead, keep it outside, in the shade, and make sure you stick it in a bucket of water so it won't dry out.
Most Christmas trees are harvested in October, shipped in November and sold in December, so you won't be getting anything that's very fresh in any case. That's why it's better to keep them outside, until a week or so before Christmas.

We always go out and get a Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving. I live in Ohio and we always go out to a Christmas Tree “patch” (I am not sure what they are called) and cut our own down. We don’t take it down until after the 1st of the new year and it is always still very nice looking. However, my parents always have their tree in the same room as their fireplace and their tree gets really dry because of the heat and the needles start falling off. So the best advice for either a fresh cut tree or a tree you get in the city is to not put it near a heat source and to water water water!!

I get freshly cut ones and stand them in a bucket , covered with crinkled kitchen foil, [for the effect]. Pack sand round the tree and keep it wet. the tree should last all over the festive season with no needle drop.

Get it at least 2 weeks ahead.Depend on what kind of tree.If it's pine,it will last you at least 1-1 and a half month.

you could get one a month ahead but you need to have the bottom cut at an angle and keep it in a stand that you can add water to so that it won't dry out.
