The beginnings of Christmas

It's here--Christmas season! Lights are going up on peoples' homes, Christmas trees are starting to appear in front windows, and poinsettias are in full color. Have you put up your Christmas tree yet?

Maybe with the down economy, you're feeling the financial pinch and aren't sure if you'll put up a tree this year. That's understandable--it's time that we all examine our finances and find the areas that could use a little trimming back.

That said, decorating for Christmas might be just the thing you need to cheer you up. A freshly-cut Christmas tree from our display lot will fill your house with joy and the wonderful scent of fir. Want something that will last longer than four weeks? Try a live tree, and enjoy it in your yard for years to come!

If you're having family or friends over for Christmas this year, be sure to pick up your poinsettias to place inside the front door or on the kitchen table. No other flower says Christmas like the bright reds or pure white of poinsettias. Try burgundy or "Jingle Bells" for something fresh or unique!

So, as you start your Christmas decorating, take time to stop by Vander Giessen Nursery to see what you might use to add some life and color to your home!
