The weather was beautiful. It was a little cold and windy out there but it was worth it!

Re: Christmas Tree outing (w/pics)

Where in Baiting Hollow is it? We'd love a place to go on the island to cut xmas tree. I LOVE real trees but kind of gave in this year. My MIL offered us their tree (fake but pre-lit) but I don't know how happy I'll be with it.

I believe it was Lewin's farm. We took rt25 all the way to Baiting Hollow. What I remember is we took 25 down, saw a town sign that said Baiting Hollow and right there we made a left! It was Packed but fun. They offer 'hay rides' that carry your tree on one 'flatbed' and attached to that is the hayride for you.
We walked. It was so nice.

Oh ok I know where that is.....My In Laws have a summer place in Baiting Hollow. Do you cut the tree or do you pick it out & they cut it?

Re: Christmas Tree outing (w/pics)

We cut it. They have saws ($5) deposit, I believe, or you can just bring your own like we did.

I love trees, for Christmas, I have to have a real one. I grew up with real ones and just love the smell!
I know real trees have there 'faults' like pine needles everywhere when time to take down, but thats what the vacuum it for.
