If you’ve never been to a Christmas tree farm, visit one this holiday season. These farms are home to acres of fresh pine trees waiting for you to take home and decorate. It’s one of the best ways to get your family in the holiday spirit, more so than just picking one out in the parking lot behind a shopping center (like my family usually does!). 

Most tree farms give you the option to cut your own tree or buy one pre-cut. Other tips: call ahead to see if they have trees and confirm hours, if you need to bring your own tools, and make sure you’re wearing something you won’t mind getting dirty (pine sap is hard to get out!).  A thermos of hot chocolate waiting for you in the car to warm you up after all that hard work can’t hurt either!
