Countdown to Christmas: Still Looking for a Christmas Tree?

There's still time to purchase a tree and all the trimmings.

Take a breath. If you're like me, you've got a few more items to check off on your to-do list, like buying a Christmas tree. Check out our suggestions for local vendors that are still selling trees, decorations and greenery. Happy Holidays!

1. : A live Christmas tree is a great alternative to a cut tree, according to owner Tom Mosley. Choose from hundreds of trees to make this holiday season special. Visitors to the farm can also choose to cut their own tree from a wide variety of species including Norway Spruce and White Pine. Trees small enough to fit on a tabletop to 12 to 16 foot specimens are priced at $10 per foot. About 20 Fraser Firs not grown on the farm are also available for purchase. Hours: Wednesday through Christmas Eve 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

2. : Fresh cut trees are still available, as well as roping, garland, wreaths, and magnolia and holly bunches. More than 60 Fraser Firs (4 to 12 feet) are in stock ranging in price from $34.99 to $79.99. Artificial trees are currently sold out. Holiday ornaments are 25 percent off. See the website for more details on holiday items. Hours: Wednesday through Friday 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Christmas Eve 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
