The Christmas Tree, used as a symbol of life, is a tradition older than Christianity and not exclusive to any one religion.  It’s a part of our holiday customs that engages not only our senses of sight, touch, and smell, but also our sense of tradition, hope and good will.

When families bring their Christmas tree home from a sales lot or a choose-and-cut farm, they are following a tradition that is more than a thousand years old.  In modern America, the adding of lights and ornaments has evolved into a collection of family memories, passing the tradition to younger generations.

It has become a tradition for families to gather at a real Christmas tree farm and select the family tree.  A tradition that began over a thousand years ago continues into the new millennium and beyond.
