You might not be ready to pull out your box of ornaments, but that chill in the air will only get chillier. The leaves on the trees are falling down. And we’re already hearing carols playing over store speakers. Let’s get ready to strap a tree to the roof of your car so Santa has somewhere to stash the presents.
Around Annapolis, there are lots of places where you can buy or even cut down your very own Christmas tree. Read on for the places you can go to get your season started.
Christmas Tree Lightings
First, let’s take a look at some of the beautiful tree-lighting events happening around town.
- 19th Annual Holiday Tree Lighting, Annapolis Town Center—Thursday, November 19.
- Grand Illumination, Homestead Gardens Davidsonville—Saturday, November 21.
- Grand Illumination, Downtown Annapolis—Sunday after Thanksgiving, November 29.
- Annual Tree Lighting, Waugh Chapel Towne Centre—Tuesday, December 1.
- Glen Burnie Town Center Tree Lighting—Thursday, December 3.
Tips & Tricks
The internet is teeming with advice for anyone who wants to buy a live tree during the holiday season. Organizations such as the National Christmas Tree Association (NCTA) and other retail-centric groups have lots of suggestions.
- Wait a bit before buying. According to Square, the price of Christmas trees dropped after Black Friday, so those who waited were rewarded with some savings.
- Research the different types of trees. Spruce, fir, or pine? Noble or Fraser? If it seems overwhelming, check out the descriptions from NCTA.
- Look up average prices before hitting the lot. A live tree at a tree farm will be, on average, $50 to $250+. A pre-cut tree can cost a minimum of $75 for a six-foot tree.
- Make sure it doesn’t get thirsty. Trees will drink a lot of water, especially during their first week in your home. And no fancy additives are necessary. Tap water is best.
- It doesn’t have to be inside! If you don’t want to bring the tree indoors (maybe because, like me, you have a cat who is too much of a menace—looking at you, Kevin), it can be outdoor décor. Depending on the tree’s size, you could put one on your front steps, your back patio, your balcony, or wherever!
