A new month is here, officially bringing the Christmas season upon us. In December 2021, many Americans are looking forward to Christmas shopping, putting up decorations inside (and outside) of their homes, and otherwise getting into the Christmas spirit.
For many American families, this innately involves Christmas tree shopping. In fact, putting up a Christmas tree after Thanksgiving is a common tradition for countless people across the United States.
With the Biden administration in office, however, this may be easier said than done. In fact, new reports indicate Christmas tree prices are higher this year. That’s due to inflation and other matters involving the current state of the economy.
