Maybe itâs a good thing that more people in town are buying trees this year, because thereâs a lot of good natured competition among three different sellers: Trancas Canyon Nursery, a long-time local small business; the MHS Athletic Booster Club Christmas Tree Lot at the Civic Center, which sells trees to raise money for school athletics; and the Delancey Street Foundation pop-up tree lot in Malibu Village, which is new this year and also raising money for a worthy cause.
âPeople are definitely buying earlier this year,â said Debbi Stone, manager of the Trancas Nursery. âI think they need the Christmas spirit because theyâre stuck at home and not planning to travel anywhere for the holidays.
