) - After having to cancel the sale of their Christmas trees last year, the Mobile Optimist Club’s Christmas tree lot is back in business.
The community is thrilled that they’re able to carry on their tradition of buying a Christmas tree from this lot. Loyal customers flowed into the tree lot, a much merrier sight after having to cancel last year. A tree shortage was the culprit. “We had to buy them up in Canada, so it’s been quite an ordeal trying to find Christmas trees, the whole industry is that way, they’re short of trees,” said James, “of course the prices of skyrocketed on trees in the last 2-3 years at any rate they were able to sell us 500 trees.”
