MERRILL, Wis. (WSAW) - It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and Smiling John’s Christmas Trees is preparing for their Friday opening.
“I’m super excited,” said family member and long-time employee Lea Beckman.
“I can’t believe anybody would want to cancel their Christmas,” co-owner Roselin Hagedorn said.
Dashing down Jingle Bell Lane, marked with a road sign in between trees, and taking a ride down sleigh lane is how Smiling John’s Christmas Trees creates their atmosphere.
“Winter is obviously the best time of the season because we get to see all the families become happy with their Christmas trees,” Beckman said.
