Before we know it the holiday season will be upon us. In fact, it may already be here.

The city announced its three finalists for this year's Christmas tree contest and they all look worthy of being showcased in Daley Plaza. The families of each of the finalists have crafted compelling backstories for why their tree should be the official Chicago Christmas tree, and each tree would look good decorated and propped up downtown.

Voting on the finalists is now open and online, go here to cast your vote. Voting is open until Oct. 25.
