To Tree or not to Tree

What?

Well the question really usually asked is real or artificial. Although Christmas is a Christian based holiday, people from many cultures that live here in the US have a tree, which actually was originally a German tradition.

If you are picking an artificial tree for your season, this author is no help...they are all plastic and .. well .. artificial.

A real tree gives you the beauty of the great outdoors indoors. Even if you are allergic to most evergreens, the Concolor Fir, with its long silvery blue needles and citrus fragrance, is safe and hypoallergenic.

Other fantastic options are Grand Fir (rich green foliage), Fraser Fir (awesome needle retention and fragrance), Balsam Fir (great fragrance), and Douglas Fir (good fragrance and 'fluffy').

So come out and visit us on Saturday and Sunday Dec 4th & 5th for our annual open house. Cool poinsettias, great trees, wonderful wreaths, and even Santa are her you YOU!
