With the holiday season well underway, the Star is looking for the most beautiful Christmas tree in the GTA for a special Tree of the Month (formerly Tree of the Week).

It could be a spruce tree in a garden, twinkling with lights and Christmas cheer.

It may be a cut balsam fir brought indoors and covered in treasured ornaments.

The tree doesn’t have to be the biggest or the best, it only has to be beautiful to you and a symbol of this magical holiday season.

Send us a short submission (no more than 500 words) with the theme of “Why this is the most beautiful Christmas tree in the GTA,” along with a photo that helps tell your story. We may share it with readers in the Toronto Star and on thestar.com.

Email Megan Ogilvie at mogilvie@thestar.ca and include the phrase “Christmas tree” in the subject line. Or write to: Toronto Star, Megan Ogilvie, One Yonge St., Toronto, ON, M5E 1E6.

The deadline for submissions is Dec. 17.
