VIDEO: A Christmas Wish That Grows Every Year

Vinnie and Susan Ukleja's Christmas tree farm is a dream that took root when Vinnie was 12.

Vinnie Ukleja tells everyone that his dream to own a farm began when he was 12. Now in his 21st year running a with his wife Susan, Vinnie's dream helps families celebrate Christmas.

People are welcome to walk the 6.2 acre lot and choose from a variety of trees and either cut their own or pick from some pre-cut trees. The tree farm is located at 81 Old Colchester Road in Quaker Hill and will be selling Christmas trees every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and until 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve, "for the last minute people."
