The greener, the better -- though make sure it hasn't been painted (yes, that's a thing some places actually do). A visit to your local Christmas tree farm can give you all the info, but here's the general rundown:  Fraser, Douglas, and Balsam Firs are all good choices. They have shorter needles, so look to the ground to see how many have fallen. The needles should snap crisply if the tree is still fresh. Scotch and Virginia Pine are also ideal Christmas trees. The needles are longer, so the dead ones often get stuck in the branches. Run your hand loosely down a branch -- how many needles fall? A Spruce (blue or Colorado) is a beautiful tree, but the needles are so pointy they aren't good for homes with small children. A Cypress is a beautiful addition to any Christmas, but the branches aren't very sturdy and won't keep large ornaments up. Consider this tree if you're only working with lights and ribbon. Knowing the dimensions of the room you're going to put it in (you do know them, right?) is important for setting up your tree successfully. Which tree speaks to you? You'll need one that's the right height and the right width. Make sure you don't pick one that fits in the doorway but takes up half the room!  It's best to buy them early. They're freshest and you get the pick of the lot. Also, a lot of places pre-cut their trees and then leave them to fend for themselves. The tree you pick is probably better off under your care for a week or two than it is at the farm.  As for your stand, the tree farm can help you with this if you don't already have one. You want one that is adjustable to pretty much any size and isn't a small circle that will only accommodate certain trees. And it should hold at least a gallon of water. When the tree is all netted up, it's going to be hard to tell which side is the side you want displayed. Before the netting goes on, tab the center of the nicest side. That way when you put it up, you won't have to do any needless rotating and manhandling to get it how you want it. Since it's best to get your tree early and you want to give Thanksgiving its proper due, store your tree in the garage or a similar place until you wish to put it up. Put 'er in a bucket, give 'er some water, and make routine checks every day or two.  If you leave your tree out on the porch and it gets sunlight, it may start drying out (the last thing you want to happen). You want as humid, yet cool, as possible, too.  If you do store your tree  (any more than 8 hours, actually), you'll need to cut 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) off the base prior to set up. This revitalizes it and allows it to take in more water, just like you would flowers in a vase. Regardless of your type of tree, you don't want the bathwater coming in with the baby, if you will. Get rid of the dead needles by shaking it (outside!) before you set it up. No use starting off with a needle-y floor before the decorations even go up.

summary: Know which kind of tree you want. Buy your tree and stand. If you have it baled, identify the best side first. If you'd like, store it in a cool, dark place. Give your tree a shake prior to set up.

Since girls come in all shapes and sizes, you don't need to wear a bra. However, it's an option if you'd like to appear like you have breasts.

To look more like a girl, you might paint your nails or apply fake nails, depending on what kind of style you want to create. However, don't feel like this is necessary. The easiest option is to trim your nails short and keep them clean. Remember, not all girls wear nail polish, just as some boys love to paint their nails. This step is completely optional, as many girls don't wear perfume. However, spritzing on a sweet-smelling perfume may make people assume you're a girl. Pick a scent you like, and spray it on your neck or wrists. Try borrowing a perfume so you don't have to buy any. Alternatively, you may be able to get a sample from a makeup counter or a store like Sephora.
