For the homeowner looking to celebrate the Christmas season in style, Sears provides great value and selection on key Christmas items in-store, as well as a complete collection online.
In a recent survey, 56 percent of respondents who decorate a Christmas tree for the holidays indicated that they decorate in December,[2] meaning that Sears' home delivery of Fraser firs is timed just right for the majority of its customers. The survey also found that 90 percent of those who decorate a tree said they use lights,[3] and 73 percent buy at least one new ornament a year.[4] Sears is the perfect one-stop destination for everyone's holiday home decor needs, with a full range of ornaments, lights (including energy-efficient and environmentally friendly LED models), garland, tinsel, ribbon and giftwrap, and many special deals and offers that help make the holidays more joyful for families everywhere.
"This holiday season, we wanted to offer our customers an easy solution to finding the perfect Christmas tree," said James Alt, vice president, Seasonal and Outdoor Living, Sears Holdings.

The freshly harvested Christmas tree will ship within 24 hours of cutting to help ensure freshness and longevity. The holiday team also prunes, shakes and packages the tree in a sturdy, moisture-resistant carton for optimal protection. Additionally, customers will receive a complimentary tree removal bag along with the delivery that can serve as a bag for a tidy and easy disposal or recycling following the holidays, which will come in handy for the 38 percent of tree decorators who take down their trees immediately after Christmas or before the New Year.[5]
