Im sorry :( but it is located in Flemington, NJ. There is a farm called Schaefer Farms that has a cool holiday light display. They have a big display that you drive your car through and last year they had a radio station you could tune your radio to and watch a light show that went to the music. Was really cool last year and I plan to go back again this year. The kids really enjoyed it! If you are anywhere near the Flemington area I would recommend it.

I have always had a real tree growing up but the last few years I have had a fake one. I needed to get another tree this year and was having a rough time with the decision. I left the price out of my decision it because when you factor it out, they are probably about the same. <br />The real tree:<br />Has the nice evergreen smell<br />looks really nice<br />is priced anywhere from $25-$150 and up (typically a nice tree is between $25-$60)<br />seems to bring the christmas cheer<br />However:<br />Gets needles all over getting it in and out of house. <br />Have to worry about removal (depends on where you live)<br />Cats bother real trees more then fake ones<br />Have to get a new one each year<br /><br />All of which are ok with me because I really like a real tree.<br /><br />The fake tree:<br />Can be used more then one year<br />Is priced anywhere from $30-$300<br />Usually come pre-lit<br />No needles to clean up<br />Cats do not typically bother them<br /><br />However:<br />They don't create the natural evergreen smell (candles help with that)<br />You have to find a place to store it every year<br /><br />It was a tough decision but I got a fake tree this year. Though I might get a little real tree for the corner of a room or on my deck.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5923812847289705841-4933067102875268727?l=chickysholiday.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The chickynoreply@blogger.com0
