Maine Christmas trees. Tons Of Them being cut, wrapped in wire mess and loaded on flat beds to start the journey from the field to your living room. I know a couple who have a bus, without the sea of seats that load up the vehicle for a week's stay in a New Jersey parking lot. They pick one with a bank in it so they can make frequent deposits to avoid a wad of cash stashed in their holiday shanty. Buying a tree for $5 from the field and peddling them for over a $100. The price depends on the grade..is it Fancy, Deluxe or Charlie Brown variety? I remember taking the kids to the back of the farm I grew up on, looking for the right tree, wading thru snow with a saw in one hand, a son and three other kids trailing along for the tradition. Usually, the four kids chime together "That one..that one!" and point to a straggley slightly anemic tree over in the corner by himself. In the spirit of Christmas, they feel that one 
needs the new home most. We cut it down, drag it back to the pickup and head for home. Putting the least attractive side in a corner seems to work and the decorating starts. That is Christmas. Do you use the genuine imitation model or the real deal complete with pine or fir smell that fills your home? Take a peek here learn more about the Maine Christmas Tree Industry. Happy Holidays!
