O, Tannenbaum!
The best Maine Christmas tree is the one you cut yourself.

Most of the year, Boiling Spring Farm in Dayton is the same vision of pastoral tranquility as most farms in this corner of southern Maine. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, though, it turns into a winter wonderland: a layer of snow (hopefully), hot chocolate (always), hay rides, and a red-and-green makeshift store that offers enough wreaths, tree decorations, and pine-scented centerpieces to fill any holiday home. If it's a Sunday, the Pats probably are playing on a television tucked in a somewhat inconspicuous location.
