Some things to keep in mind if you decide to cut your own tree:
~Dress warm and be prepared for snow, because you never know what Michigan weather has in store.
~Be sure to check ahead to see if there will be any special events at the tree farm, such as Santa visits, hayrides, hot cocoa and cider.
~Some farms may not accept credit or debit cards so call ahead or bring cash or checks just in case.
~Be careful when walking through fields to avoid falling or tripping on hidden stumps.
~Prepare your home for a tree by moving all obstacles that inhibit the tree from being brought in.
~Water live trees at least once, sometimes twice a day, to keep it fresh and avoid accidental fires.
~Most importantly, take lots of photos and have fun!
