Oh, Christmas Tree, oh, Christmas tree! There is usually much debate about whether a live Christmas tree should be donning living rooms this time of year, or whether artificial trees are better suited. I personally prefer live trees. You can’t beat the hunt for the perfect tree, getting in the great outdoors, the fresh-cut tree scent, and, well, vacuuming up after them. For those of you who are like me, you’ll be happy to know that there are several Christmas Tree Farms around the Harrisonburg area that offer the exhilarating experience of finding that “one” tree.
In no particular order...
