Sure, you could buy a tree from a local grocery store, or use that fake plastic one stored in the attic, but there really is nothing like picking up your own Christmas tree at the farm. Bundle up warm (wear your flannels), grab a thermos of hot cocoa, and head to the farm to pick out the perfect tree for your family. The time spent together in the great outdoors and the fresh evergreen scent will create lasting memories.
