12 Places to Cut Your Own Christmas Tree In Massachusetts

Now that the Thanksgiving food coma has (almost) subsided, its time to fully embrace the holiday season. Sure, it may be easy to drive to Wal-mart for a fake plastic tree, but there’s something strangely satisfying about stomping through the wilderness with an ax to chop down your own live tree. This year, I challenge you to don your Timberlands, fill a canteen with hot cocoa and venture out into the rugged unknown to cut a fresh pine for your living room. Here are 12 locations in Massachusetts to cut your own Christmas tree this holiday season. We know these aren’t all of them, but capping it at 12 seemed like a fit – one for each of the 12 days of Christmas!
