Still Looking For The Perfect Christmas Tree in Austin?

There are lots of "tree lots" in Austin where you can purchase beautiful Christmas trees but, for a real treat, you may want to visit one of the Christmas tree farms just outside the city limits.

ELGIN CHRISTMAS TREE FARM and Gift Shop: Elgin Farms is also going green and offering tree recycling; be sure to check out their website for details. Elgin Farms is located at 120 Nature's Way, off Roy Davis Rd., Elgin, TX. The Elgin Farm is open until December 22nd from 10 am - 5 pm. On Sunday they will be open from noon to 5:30 pm.

Even if you have already bought your Christmas tree, a visit to these farms will be sure to add to your holiday memories.

EVERGREEN FARMS CHRISTMAS TREES and Gift Shop: The farm also features a nature trail, farm animals and games such as bean bag toss and horseshoes. A visit to the farm could prove to be a fun and stress-free family day with roasting (free) marshmallows over the campfire while drinking hot cider or coffee. There is a nature trail, farm animals, games and pine cone painting for family fun. Evergreen Farms is located at 242 Monkey Road, Elgin, Texas. The farm will be open through Christmas Eve but will close at 3 pm on that day. Evergreen Farms also offer all the tools necessary for tree cutting.

LOMA ALTA CHRISTMAS TREE FARM is another great place for a family visit and finding that perfect tree. Loma Alta Farms offer fun-filled day rides and you can feed the ducks and geese by the pond. The farm also allows you to walk the trails and cut your own holly or gather pine cones. By the way, it is a great place to take pictures with family and friends. The Loma Alta Christmas Tree Farm is located at 214 Loma Alta Drive, Smithville, Texas, 78957. Loma Alta will only be open for a few more days. So, if you don't go this weekend, be sure to call them before making a trip to the farm. The phone number is (512) 360-2005. You can also email them at lomaalta@flash.net.

I hope that all of you have a perfectly wonderful and blessed Christmas with your family and friends. After all, that is really what Christmas is about: a time of sharing with your family and friends.

Here is a little Christmas gift from me to you.

Hope you enjoy: Christmas Greetings.
