The week surrounding Thanksgiving is the time when many families will get their Christmas tree.

Reno and Cassie Smith live in Carmel, but moved here five years ago from California.

"This year is actually the biggest one that we've had since we moved here," said Reno Smith.

The family invited WRTV in to see their recently decorated Christmas tree.

"Coming from California, it's not common to go cut down your Christmas tree," Cassie explained. "When we moved here, we knew we wanted to start a fun little family tradition."

Their tradition is visiting Jay's Tree Farm in Mooresville, which sits just off the Morgan-Hendricks County line.

The Jay family started selling Christmas trees in 1987. In 2024, new owners took over the business. The new owners, however, weren't new to the farm.
