These yearly people are great aren't they? They know your name, they know the kids, they know your roof height etc. It is no fun going about and around for a tree. Same people all the time is essential, they're like part of that family christmas tradition. And thanks for commenting about giving to local businesses this holiday season, i appreciate that.<!--begin reply--> <span class="in_response_to">In response to interested who said:</span> <div class="replied_to_style">My children and I have been buying from the guys at the Tree Barn for at LEAST 10 years. Even when the kids were too young to "help", the men at 6th & Willow let them help by holding on to the middle while doing the real lifting themselves. Who cares if they cost a bit more!?! These are our neighbors - they wave all year round, help carry in the groceries in the Summer and the Tree in the winter. They remember each year if it is our year to be here or our year to be at my mother's. Why go to strangers? The season isn't about the $$$. It is about the traditions, the friends, the feelings that come as part of the whole thing. This year, supporting the local merchants will be more important than ever.
