Christmas Tree Shopping

Happy December everyone!  I am back in the United States visiting family for the holidays.  Today I went to a nursery selling fresh cut pine trees for Christmas.  Christmas trees are the main decorations for the upcoming holiday.  Some people have artificial Christmas trees and some people have real trees freshly cut.
The real trees have a wonderful pine scent.

Here I am standing in the Christmas tree lot.  There were lots of families picking out Christmas trees and taking them home.


After someone picks out a tree to buy, it gets stuffed into this machine that wraps them up tightly in string so that it's easy to take home.

And there it is all ready for the drive home.  A tree tied to the top of a car is a common site this time of year. 
I did not buy a tree at this nursery.   But I did buy another plant that is commonly used for Christmas decorations.  Wonder what it is?  Check back later and see.

      Hi Dung,
      Yes, those are real pine trees. These have been grown and trimmed to be Christmas trees on Christmas tree farms. But all different types of pine trees grow in the US.

      Who is Oliver?
