The season of giving is upon us and that’s not complete without smells of pumpkin spice and pine. The time-honored tradition of taking loved ones by the hand and meandering through tree lots in search of that perfect douglas fir or blue spruce is now. You know the location—and the tree is just the right size—that box of pristine ornaments and family heirlooms has been dusted off.
Whether they’re glass, intricate globes, handmade trinkets or cute little elves, there’s no denying this is something you’ve looked forward to all year long. Grab the mulled wine, get out the tinsel and garlands, test those twinkling lights and prepare to trim your best tree yet.
With the turkey behind us, why put it off any longer? Find a tree farm nearby:
