Matt Vandekerkhof, co-owner of Michigan Christmas Trees LLC, prepares a Christmas tree for a customer at his business along FM 2854, Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020, in Conroe. Vandekerkhof, who travels from his home in Traverse City, Michigan, to sell Michigan-grown tress in Montgomery County, said the pandemic has lead some differences this years. “With COVID, less people are traveling so people are buying trees that don’t typically buy a tree, or I’ve had a lot of customers buy a bigger tree than they normally do, since they’re going to be home,” he said.Jason Fochtman, Houston Chronicle / Staff photographerShow MoreShow Less
