The good news is that the federal government does allow cutting in some of its national forests. In particular, Christmas trees can be cut from some land owned/operated by the USDA’s United States Forest Service(USFS) or the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The key is that you must obtain a permit first.
