Whether they’re fir, pine or spruce, Virginia Christmas trees are ready to be cut.

How much will your holiday meal cost this year? Want to have a "green" Christmas, or enjoy a tasty treat that dates back to Colonial times? All these features and more will be included in the December edition of Down Home Virginia, Virginia Farm Bureau’s monthly television program.

There are many good reasons to buy a fresh Virginia-grown Christmas tree, said Steve Satterfield, vice president of the Virginia Christmas Tree Growers Association and a Virginia Farm Bureau member.

There’s nothing like a holiday home tour or a visit to a thoroughly decked-out shop to make you want to start decorating.
