Join the Celebration of December, Virginia Christmas Tree Month
Governor Timothy M. Kaine has proclaimed December Virginia Christmas Tree Month and in his proclamation, has invited all Virginians to celebrate this special occasion.
Todd P. Haymore, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) observed, “There are numerous reasons to celebrate Virginia Christmas trees including economic, environmental and aesthetic. But probably the most important reason is family tradition. Since the 1840s, when they were first introduced in Williamsburg, fresh, fragrant, locally grown Christmas trees have been the traditional centerpiece of the holiday season for families across the Commonwealth. As so many Virginians can attest, this is a tradition well worth continuing.”
