It's the most festive time of year - when Christmas lights illuminate in the night, holiday music fills the air and trees are decorated for all to see.
If you have yet to buy a Christmas tree for whatever reason, you still have some time.
But the days are numbered, and some tree farms have closed up shop ahead of Christmas.
You can still cut your own tree at a few places, though many are only offering pre-cut trees for the remainder of the season.
Here are a number of Christmas tree farms still open for the holidays:
Abbey's Farms - Aurora
Visitors can browse through fields filled with pine and spruce trees or take home pre-cut fir trees. Other holiday goodies, such as wreaths and garlands, are available for purchase.
Local
The farm, located at 2855 Hart Rd. in Aurora, is open for the season through Dec. 23. Tickets must be reserved in advance.

The farm is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
