Season Starts @SandoneChristmasTrees

My Christmas season starts with a trip to the Sandone tree lot to reconfirm my standing order for a 10 foot Blue Spruce tree with strong layered branches allowing it to hold handblown glass ornaments. Blue Spruce trees are what I grew up with and remain my favorite. In a 120-year-old house, a Blue Spruce tree provides a sentimental and nostalgic Christmas look. Tony Sandone and his family for 50 years have been growing Blue Spruce trees in Michigan and each year begin bringing them to Dallas just before Thanksgiving along with the other varieties of Christmas trees, including the 40 foot trees installed at SMU, the township of University Park, and a dozen other public places. Scrolling through, you will see in this post that the trees have just begun to arrive, where they are stood up and prepared for stands, and Tony Sandone inside the standing-seam metal roof command headquarters found on Northwest Highway behind Keller’s as the excitement builds for the Christmas tree pandemonium in a few days. Not pictured is Arturo, who is my Christmas tree whisperer. Over the years, he has come to know exactly the specific characteristics I want in a tree, which he selects for my approval and delivers in a stand measured to a half inch from my ceiling. In addition, he returns after Christmas to remove this gorgeous tree and any residual needles.

Aesthetics, luxury and service is something I think about every day. Luxury to me is more about quality and nuance than overt opulence. It is inspiring to see a Christmas tree lot provide luxury. At Christmas, whether you cut down your own tree, assemble a tree or visit public Christmas trees or trees of friends, I wish you a merry Christmas as we all enjoy the thousands of individual Christmas tree expressions and interpretations. *Season Starts
