December is here and with it so is Christmas. Families all over the metro Atlanta area start off the month looking for the perfect tree to decorate their home with. Whether it’s a 12 foot fraser fir or a Charlie Brown Christmas tree there are many outlets around the city to find just the right one. To finish the Three of a Kind photo feature for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, I traveled to Fayetteville to check out We Three Trees Farm. Family owned and operated for the past 22 years, Russ Jordan currently has 4,000 trees for this Christmas.
