If you still haven’t got your Christmas tree up and decorated, don’t panic. There are still plenty of places to get a pine, and you can even chop it down yourself to make lasting holiday memories.

Many of these Christmas tree farms offer other holiday activities, such as meeting Santa or wandering through an immersive holiday experience. That means you can make a full day of the excursion with the family — or that someone special.

Some of these farms even have photo packages for you to get the perfect snap among the pines for your Christmas cards.

After chopping it down yourself, we won’t blame you for leaving it up well after Christmas.
