Last year our family decided to switch from putting up an Artificial tree to a real tree for Christmas. I can still remember it like it was yesterday, it was bitter cold that day but we put on our snow boots and thick winter jackets. We drove to the nearest Christmas Tree Farm, and made a day out of it! We really enjoyed picking our Christmas Tree as a family and thought it would be a good addition to our Holiday traditions.
If you would like to experience cutting your own tree or getting a Freshly cut one, here are some of the Christmas Tree farms/ Lots we found In & Around Schenectady County.
