Patch put together a map of cut-your-own Christmas tree farms for the northern Chicago suburbs.
Are you one of the 21 percent of United States homes that have a real Christmas tree? That's the number of people that opt for the real deal, according to the University of Illinois Extension's Christmas Tree fact page, compared to 48 percent who chose to have an artificial tree. (The rest don't have a tree.) If so, then perhaps you're also part of the 21 percent of those with real trees who like to cut them down yourself at a tree farm.

Click on the pins for more information about the farm or move the map around and zoom in on an area near you. Happy chopping!

We are always satisfied with the tree," Beth Ann Dailey said with a smile as a light snow began to fall.
