Growing up, my family packed our hot chocolate, blankets, and saws the day after Thanksgiving and set out to the local tree farms on a search for the perfect tree. Now, I find it somewhat easier to drive five minutes to the nearest tree lot. This loses a bit of the nostalgia and couldn't be great for your family -- you don't know where those trees came from!
Be kind to your family this year and ensure local farm support by venturing to a local organic tree farm.
