Find The Perfect Christmas Tree At These Charming New Jersey Farms

It's my absolute favorite Christmas tradition.

For the past 16 years now, the day after Thanksgiving we wake up early, bundle up, and head to a Christmas tree farm in New Jersey (we pick a different tree farm each year) to cut down our Christmas tree.

We wander around looking for the perfect tree, we even bring our own saw to cut it down, load it up in the back of our truck, and bring it home to decorate.

There’s nothing quite like the scent of a real tree.

I just don't believe it can be matched by anything you buy in a bottle.

The smell of a freshly cut Blue Spruce or Douglas Fir fills the house, and the tree looks absolutely stunning with twinkling lights wrapped all around.

There are so many amazing tree farms in New Jersey and I was trying to pick where we should go this year.
