Oh Christmas Tree | Messages From The Mitten

The Kurzynski family finds their perfect tree at Tannenbaum Tree Farms in Mason.

Today we’re starting a weekly series we’re calling “Messages from the Mitten.” 

This holiday season is unlike any other, and we thought we’d find out how people are adapting – or pressing on – with their holiday traditions. 

Finding the right Christmas tree is often a great family bonding experience. 

WKAR’s Kevin Lavery went to Tannenbaum Tree Farms in Mason to watch this tradition unfold. 

Kevin Lavery served as a general assignment reporter and occasional local host for Morning Edition and All Things Considered before retiring in 2023.
