One of the accoutrements of the holiday season is the Christmas tree. But the experts are warning us that Christmas trees are going to cost more this year than last year.

Historically, it was commonly believed that in the winter, evergreen tree would thrive even in the cold and longer periods of darkness.

Evergreen trees are seen as a symbol of eternal life among many cultures including the Egyptians, Hebrews and Chinese. Even used evergreens as a symbol of fertility.

The Christmas tree as we know it, was first used by devout Christians in Germany in about the 16th century. It is believed that Martin Luther is credited to have added lighted candles to trees.

The Association for Real Christmas Trees believes that the cost will go up from anywhere from 8-18%. Yet there may be other costs raising prices having to do with the rise in fertilizer costs, labor, fuel and other seed prices. Still, families may not be willing to cut back on their family Christmas tree this year. Here is a short list of locations in Monmouth County where live Christmas trees can be purchased:
