Top 10 Reasons To Cut Your Own Christmas Tree

Exert from:  Farmers’ Almanac Staff Updated: November 18, 2022

How many times have you bundled up the family and ventured out to cut down your very own Christmas tree? For some it’s every year, for others, never. If you’ve ever heard the old saw about how fun it is to choose a live tree, here are ten more reasons to go out on a limb and try it:

1. Family fun. Going to a Christmas tree farm gets the kids out of the house and into an open field where they can’t get into too much trouble. At least it’s safer than a parking lot populated with absent-minded drivers and open barrel fires.

2. Your family can make it an educational event to learn about different types of trees that can grow well in your region.

3. You’ll be the hero. An outing to a Christmas tree farm will make you a hero in your family’s eyes. They will love you for the fun it brings and make you feel like a good parent, something you may need a shot of after a year of saying, “No, you can’t.”

4. One-stop shop. Most farms also sell fresh wreaths and garlands, so you can knock out all decoration errands in one trip.

5. A new experience. The trip to the farm is part of the experience. You can drive through the country at an unhurried pace, pointing out old barns and fields of cows.

6. Gets you in the Christmas Spirit. Just think of the holiday smells — pine, earth, apple cider, and maybe cookies!

7. Your tree will last longer. Your tree should last longer since it lived up to the moment you cut it and did not sit in a truck or warehouse. When you get it home, cut off about an inch of the base, making a diagonal cut. Pass around the cut piece for everyone to smell.

8. Support family farms. Cutting your tree supports these family-owned farms.

9. A bonding experience. A trip to a tree farm takes longer, and thus, you can spend more time with your family. Enough said.

10. Make memories! Your kids will tuck away this memory in their heads and tell their kids about it one day.
