My husband hurt his back....

the Christmas tree is up in the attic. He is the only one that can get it down. I’m thinking there might not be a Christmas tree this year. Should I go buy one or use just a little one that I use at the front door that is 2ft tall? I’d like to put the big tree up this year, but don’t want him up there.
What would you do? The trees here aren’t really that cheap either. 😞
