Picking out the “perfect” Christmas tree can be a challenge, but if you look at it as an adventure it can be a great father and child bonding experience.

CLICK HERE to learn about the different Christmas tree varieties and let the kids help you decide which one is best for your family.

You can  cut down your own tree at a u-pick Christmas Tree Farm. Use this directory to find one near you.

Of course, you can always visit one of the numerous tree stands that are available at this time of year – and then gather the kids around the computer to take a free virtual field trip to a Christmas Tree Farm.

Whatever way you choose, make it a fun and collaborative experience. Pack some cocoa in a thermos, and have a great time!
