Kate Wilson spotted these $45 tabletop trees in Kendall Square and wondered if that's really the going rate in the Boston area or are they just carrying that Kendall Square premium.
Marainniss quickly replied that with just a little searching, you could do better. Like try this apparently free pitiful tree on the center platform at the Park Street Red Line stop:
Midway between the two are the $21 tabletop trees Eileen Murphy reports spotting at the South Boston Stop & Shop.

For many years, my sister, Rosemary, has been sending me a wreath of fresh greens at Christmastime. This wreath arrived today! It looks beautiful and smells lovely, even to my cat, Henry!
Of course, this has little to do with the story, but it seemed an opportune chance to send a special Thank You to Rosemary for her thoughtful gift!
Henry is

thats kind of a lush tree to be considered a Charlie Brown (or Archie Bunker) Christmas tree. And still overpriced.
Remember the final scene from

A Charlie Brown Christmas , when the gang transformed the "poor" tree (to use Lucy's and Freida's term) into a short but lush tree.
Someone will buy one at that price.

Saw them at Wegman's in Westwood for much less (under $20, I believe).
$45 is ridiculous for that...

Hell, even Whole Foods has tabletop trees for $20 (or did last time I was there).

Back in Maine, that would run you about 12 dollars. Boston prices are absolutely ridiculous all around.
I thought they were free in Maine

Go into the woods, chop it down and your only cost was gas and tolls?

$5 permit in Alberta

Pay on line, download all the rules and a form, and go out and cut something that is in the right of way of the roadway or under/around high voltage power lines. Cut up to 5 trees per permit, mark where you cut them, and turn it back in.
This is a great way to keep the right of way clear without sending crews in.
My sister-in-law and I had a great time a couple of years ago bringing in the tree harvest. We went out and cut three of these small trees for her home daycare kiddies to decorate, then cut two larger trees for her home and her mother's home. My brother's car was full of trees, which smelled amazing! I still have some pitch on my old snow pants.
I wish we could do something like that here - cut trees that are doomed anyway and use them as Christmas trees.
