This year in particular, we are all seeking a some extra holiday peace and cheer. Christmas decorations are the perfect way to brighten your spirits.  If that fragrant pine scent brings back great childhood memories, this might be the year for a real tree. Here is a list of tree farms if you prefer to cut your own – or  local tree lots if you prefer a hassle-free pre-cut tree. Happy holidays!
