It’s pine-ally time to put up some holiday cheer. If you’ve been thinking about tree-ting your family to a live Christmas tree this season, there is no time like the present. 🎁
Due to a national shortage of the festive trees, many local farms have already sold out and closed their doors for the season. Here’s where you can still go:
