Greer's OC

Just when we thought there wasn’t a real Santa, our longtime Christmas wishes have been answered—in the form of The Living Christmas Co. The good people of The Living Christmas Co. are on a mission to change the way California celebrates Christmas. Their motto, “This is not your grandmother’s tree; this is your children’s tree.”

And we love it, a living option to artificial and cut trees. No longer do you have to discard a beautiful cut tree in the matter of weeks. You can rent a living tree and have it delivered to your doorstep, and picked up after Christmas. You can even adopt the same tree each year. As if you need more reasons to hook up with this company. The trees don’t come from Oregon or China which reduces their carbon footprint, and clean burning bio diesel trucks deliver dozens of trees at once.

Choose from Aleppo Pine, Blue Cedar, Leylandi Cypress, Little Sequoia, and Monterey Pine. Price includes delivery and pick-up.

Right now, they deliver as far south as Long Beach and north as the Palisades. However, if you’re interested go here, and mention Greer’s OC in the message box. If enough requests come from a city outside of their delivery zone, they will possibly open up a day for delivery and pick-up depending on their schedules.

An Evening for Music for a Cure
