"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." — Mahatma Gandhi

Up All Night in New York, Selling Christmas Trees Meet Kyle Dalton and Charlie May, two souls who trade comfort for an urban forest life in New York City. Every year, they leave their familiar lives behind, living in a tiny trailer in Brooklyn to sell Christmas trees, and their tale is one of camaraderie and resilience. Kyle swaps his sales rep gig in Canada for a month of selling trees, while Charlie juggles his life as a ski instructor and river guide to return to this unique seasonal hustling. They add warmth to the city's cold nights, powered by a love for the holiday spirit, even blocking out city lights with black garbage bags for sleep. They remind us that unexpected community connection doesn’t require a fancy package, just an open heart and a willingness to step out of comfort zones. READ FULL STORY Be The Change Support your local seasonal workers by purchasing products from them, or simply offer them a warm drink and a chat.
