There’s nothing like the look and smell of a real Christmas Tree to make you feel the festive season’s finally arrived and Santa’s started loading up his sleigh en route to Liverpool.
So if you’ve hauled out the tinsel and broken out the baubles, the only thing left to do is get is a fab fir tree to hang them on.
And here’s where you can get a real Christmas Tree in and around Liverpool…

Giltrees was founded in 1965 by Mr O. C. Giller, and is still run today by the same family, employing mainly family members and people within the local area.
Members of the British Christmas Tree Growers’ Association, they grow the trees in Lancashire and on the family’s own 300-acre forest in the Scottish Highlands, where all trees are re-planted two-fold. They specialise in Nordmann fir, Lodgepole Pine, Fraser Fir and the beautiful Noble Fir, planting only the very best quality seedlings to ensure a premium quality tree.
They have hundreds planted to resemble a mini forest so you can wander round and pick your own – although it might be muddy so wellies are a good idea. They deliver locally for a small fee.

Top Christmas tree tips:
* Keep the tree outside for as long as possible and only take it inside the house when you’re ready to put it up and decorate it.
* Keep it away from radiators and direct heat sources, and from cold draughts.
* Choose a base with a good water reservoir and keep it topped up. Trees can easily dry out over the festive season.
* Unless it’s been done for you, cut off half an inch or so from the base when you get your tree, to open up the pores and allow the tree to suck up the water.
