Set Out on a Classic Christmas Tree-Finding Adventure in NEPA.
As Thanksgiving comes and goes, so, too, does our introduction to another NEPA winter. The chilly air, houses in the neighborhood lighting up one by one, radio stations switching to all Christmas all the time – if you haven’t noticed, it’s the holiday season.
Let’s start the season with nothing but good vibes. Fill the house with the nostalgia-inducing scent of pine. Pull out that box of seemingly ancient ornaments. Gather up the kids, throw a sweater on the pup, pile in the car, get out there and bring home that beautiful, perfect, carefully-chosen Christmas tree.
