If you're headed out to find a tree this weekend, be sure to briefly scan a few tips from the CT Christmas Tree Growers Association. For instance, you will want to measure the height of your ceiling before you go, so you don't end up like the Griswolds!

Feeling a little guilty about sawing down such a precious resource only to send it off to the landfill a month later? Consider a few environmentally friendly alternatives. I personally plan to fashion a tree out of sushi (pictured left)! There's nothing better than the smell of rancid fish to keep family away during the holidays!
Oh! One more option! Listen to Star 99.9 the weekend of December 7th for your chance to win a FREE TREE from Maple Row Tree Farm!
When he's not ostrich riding in South Africa or glacier climbing and skydiving in New Zealand, you can hear Tad Lemire on STAR 99.
