Finding the Perfect Tree

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UNCG chapter.

Happy Holidays!

There is no better way to pick out a tree than with your roomies. Put on you warm clothes and turn up that Pentatonix Christmas album and drive to Papa Goats Tree Farm. Papa Goats Tree Farm is located at 687 Three Creeks Ln Sparta, North Carolina. They are open from 10am to 6pm. You can contact them by phone, (336) 372-3055 or website. Getting a real Christmas tree can be an awesome adventure.

When you first arrive at Papa’s you have to pet the goats! After petting the goats grab yourself a pole, for measuring the height of your tree, and then stop by the wreaths and take a picture.

Now go and find the perfect tree. Once you’ve found it give your pole a shake to call over a tree slayer, a man with a chainsaw. Then watch the magic happen which is just your tree being cut down. Then of course name your tree, we named ours Colton Haynes, and presented it to the world like a holiday boss.

Then make sure you get your tree netted or wrapped to keep the poor branches safe. The kind people at Papa’s will make sure your tree is safe either in your car or on the roof of the car. So, No worries! The trees cost eight dollars per foot so make sure you know what height you want for the price you are willing to spend.

Hop back in the car and jam to Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas album on the way back home. Once home decorate your new friend, aka the tree, with your roomies. Then end the night with you, your roomies, and Colton Haynes singing the 12 Days of Christmas.
