Green Valley Christmas Trees *Giveaway* (Ended)

Published: · Modified: by Stefanie Fauquet · This post may contain affiliate links ·

Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's time to get ready for Christmas! For us, this means putting up the tree and all the decorations. I am very excited to start a new Christmas tradition this year with a live tree!  This is the first year we've had a real tree and it's thanks to Green Valley Christmas Trees.

About Green Valley Christmas Trees

Green Valley Christmas Trees delivers fresh, natural, live Christmas Trees to your doorstep. All trees meet high quality standards for shape, fullness, color and quality and are sent the same day they are harvested. With Christmas Tree delivery from Green Valley Christmas Trees, you won’t have to fight holiday traffic or worry about lifting a heavy tree.

Green Valley Christmas Trees sent us a 5 1/2-6 foot Fraser Fur Christmas Tree for review.

It arrived in a long skinny box. I was told your tree is cut down once it is ordered and then delivered 1-2 days later.

Our little tree was securely fastened and ready to go!  Right away I noticed the smell...there is nothing like the scent of a real Christmas tree!

We bought a new stand for our tree and it was extremely easy to put up. Normally, we would put up our fake tree, which is quite a hassle. I actually dread putting up the artificial tree and all the little branches.

Within an hour, our tree was up and fully decorated!

I can't tell you how much I love having a real tree compared to a fake one. Our tree from Green Valley Christmas Trees is smaller than our fake one, but I don't miss the size one bit. I think this tree perfectly suits our family and I plan on purchasing a real tree from now on. I'm almost ready to throw out the fake tree now, so I don't have a choice next year.

We had a great experience with Green Valley Christmas trees and I am sure you will too. Our tree was delivered fresh and looks great right out of the box. You would never know that this tree was shipped across the country! In addition to Fraser Fur, Green Valley Christmas Trees delivers Noble Fur, White Pine and Christmas Wreaths.

WIN IT!

You can win your own 5 1/2-6 foot Fraser Fur from Green Valley Christmas Trees.

    I REFUSE to have a fake tree! The Smell and the Magic of a real tree can not be matched! I grew up in NH and we always cut our own tree down so, in order to have a great holiday i MUST have a real tree!

    I love the warm feelings the real tree conjures up for me. My dad has passed away, but every time we bring a tree into the house, and my husband and I decorate with our daughters, I can almost sense my dad here, just as he was when I was little, decorating the tree with me. There is no artificial tree that could bring about the depth of emotion that the real tree does!

  7. Shannon Baas

    I like how good they smell.

  9. Carey Miller

    That's an easy question - it's all about the scent! We always had fake trees growing up, but a friend had real ones. I loved going over there to sniff.

  10. Claire

    The smell - it is heavenly and screams Christmas!!

  11. Melanie

    I like the smell also. It's been a really long time since we had a real tree.

    This is cool for families that don't leave near a place to go and choose and cut your own. We cannot have a real tree as L is allergic to a real Christmas Tree.

  18. Tanya

    I love the smell of a real Christmas tree. However, I hate cleaning up the needles!

    My house is so small that the wonderful aroma of the tree fills up the whole house. It just isn't Christmas without that smell!

    Hello, It's gotta be the fragrance of a real tree that keeps us getting one. Thanks for a great giveaway!

    I love the uniqueness of each tree - the little quirks of the shape. They aren't perfectly shaped like the artificial ones.

  27. Terrisa Curran

    I love the pine smell of real trees.

  28. Kim L.

    Growing up we always thought I was allergic! As an adult , I was tested and am not allergic! So this would be my first real tree! Such an exciting thought! xo

    What I love most about a real christmas tree is the smell!

  38. [email protected] Spirit Mommy

    Definitely the smell. 🙂 Although one year when I was little we went out and cut down our own tree and it smelled really bad when we got it up! Apparently a bear had used it for its bathroom or something, LOL. At least when you go to a Christmas tree farm you don't have to worry about that! 🙂

    You know, I didn't realize you could have your live tree delivered! I've wanted one the past two years but we don't have a way to get it here. Next year I'll definitely do this.. unless I win this year! 🙂

    I just love the fresh smell of a tree. The whole house seems to just smell better when we have a "Real" tree in the house during the holidays.

    I love the smell of real Christmas trees, and that nostalgic feeling is stronger than with a fake tree.

  72. Kathy

    I love the smell and the touch of a real fir tree.

  73. Tonya Dean

    The smell it fills the whole house. So wonderful!

  74. gina

    What do you love most about real Christmas trees:
    Why, yes, it has to be the fragrance first & also the texture, there is something a little offputting with the fake trees needles. It feels weird to decorate.

    The first thing I love most about a real Christmas Tree is the scent! Second, is the fact that they look so much nicer than the fake ones! Last, they are biodegradable and we either recycle them at our local recycling center or put them in a friends pond for the fish to have refuge!

    I love the scent of the fresh pine in the house. We' ve always had a real tree even while growing up, so I just could never get used to an artificial one.
    I love the uneven branches on a real tree because its fun to fill up the gaps with all of my many special ornaments. It isn't predictable and totally symmetrical like a fake tree. LOVE 'EM~! It's the real deal for us!
