It’s already that time of year! The Halloween decorations are coming down, and it’s almost time to start decorating for the holidays. Nothing quite makes the festive atmosphere complete, though, like a Christmas tree! And there are tons of options, of course: you can use an artificial tree, you can go to a Christmas tree lot… or you can go for an exciting new experience for your littles, and check out a Christmas tree farm! It may be surprising, but even here in Florida, there are farms where you can not only get your very own Christmas tree, but cut it down yourself, too! Talk about a holiday experience to remember!

Christmas tree farms are great! I remember going to pick out a Christmas tree as a kid and it being a memorable tradition each year.
There is a great Christmas Tree Lot in Callahan called Griffin Farm Fresh Christmas Trees. They give a fresh cut on each tree to make them last longer. Service is top notch! I put their website address in if you click on my name.
