This year again we decided to cut our own Christmas tree (well…go to a tree farm that didn’t have pre-cut trees and point to the one we wanted so they could cut it down for us, wrap it, and attach it to the top of our car 🙂 )
We went to Bear Swamp Tree farm right here in Trenton! (300 Basin Road, Trenton NJ) Once again we had a really pleasant experience with very kind workers who made it so easy to carry our tree home. I would recommend this tree farm to everyone. We bought the biggest tree I’ve ever had for Christmas (all trees only 40$ no matter the size)…It reaches all the way to the top of our high ceilings at Bethany House. The only challenge is getting enough ornaments to cover it..and to get it to stay standing (our wonderful cat has knocked it down twice)
Here is our tree all lit up.
Happy Holidays from us here at the Bethany House!
