Christmas and the holidays are such a magical time of the year. While we are busy from Thanksgiving through Christmas it is important to find time with your family and friends to celebrate this time of the year. We are making memories with our families on a daily basis and so making traditions or maybe even changing them up is part of this entire holiday season. There are so many ways to celebrate and we would like to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas, a holiday filled with magical moments, and time to celebrate you and your family.
Minnesota Grown Christmas Trees 🎄
Are you still on the hunt for this year's perfect Christmas tree? To some the perfect Christmas tree is 12 feet tall and bigger than life and to others it is more like the traditional Charlie Brown Tree. We all have our own visions of what is perfect for each of us. I usually always have my tree up the weekend of Thanksgiving but was a bit earlier this year. You still have time to gather the family and go to cut your own tree down. Here is the link to the Minnesota grown trees. Simply put your zip code in and the distance you want to travel and the site will populate the locations. Of course there are lots throughout the community for pre-cut trees as well. It is definitely worth shopping around because this year we found a wide range of prices within a couple of miles from each other.
