Seasonal stands and garden centers in Philadelphia offer Christmas trees for those without cars or means to get out to a farm. Pickup and delivery is available at several locations.

The clock is ticking to get your Christmas tree.

With Thanksgiving in the rearview mirror and December fast approaching, the holiday season is kicking into high gear, with holiday markets and pop-ups opening across the city. Many families spent the past weekend detangling their Christmas lights and driving to nearby Christmas tree farms to personally chop down their ceiling-scrapping spruces. But what if you don't have the car, gas, time, space or inclination to swing an ax?
