Santa Parade
Ho Ho Ho, Don’t forget to go!
Don’t forget that the Gloucester Santa parade begins today at 3:00! The route begins at the State Fish Pier and ends at Kent Circle on the boulevard for the annual tree lighting. The tree is expected be lit between 4:30-5:00. I’ve heard differing reports so I’m covering my bases.

Curbside Leaf Collections
Curbside Leaf Collections
The last two curbside leaf collections of 2014 will take place the weeks of December 1- 5 and December 8-12 on your regular trash day.
- Leaves must be out for collection by 7 a.m. on your regular rubbish collection day.
- Leaf containers must be physically separated from trash and recycling.
- Paper leaf bags are preferred for leaf disposal. If barrels are used to contain the leaves, they must be clearly marked “Yard Waste” and covers must be removed so the leaves are visible.
- No plastic bags of any kind or cardboard boxes will be accepted. No branches or brush will be collected.
Special note: Because separate trucks collect the rubbish, recycling and leaves, the leaves may be collected at a different time of day.

Thank You Nichole Schrafft for the Beverly Tree Farm Recommendation!
Many thanks to Nichole for her wonderful recommendation to purchase Christmas trees at the Beverly Tree Farm. Nichole wrote of her family’s tradition in this week’s “Nichole’s Family Picks of the Weekend.” Although we don’t have little ones any longer living at home to enjoy the wonderful hospitality provided by the Bertolon Family, I needed a freshly cut tree that will last through an extended holiday season. Usually our tree goes up the second week or so in December, but as our daughter won’t be home for Christmas she asked if we could get the tree up and decorate while she is visiting.
The dork that I am, I showed up at the farm by myself and without saw–I thought it was pick your own, not saw your own, too! Fortunately, the very sweet Mrs Bertolon had just the solution, which was to select from a small pile of trees that folks had cut the previous day, but had left behind.
My next dilemma was the fact they place the tree on top of your car, but for liability reasons cannot tie it down for you. After watching the dad in the car next to mine expertly tie his down, I attempted to secure ours. I couldn’t have been more inept and within a few moments, the super nice dad had successfully tied mine down, too (he mentioned that he formerly worked at a tree farm). Thank you beautiful family from Marblehead!
The Farm is only open tomorrow, Sunday, and next weekend, December 6th and 7th, or only as long as this year’s crop of harvestable trees last.
For more about Nichole’s family’s experience read her post here and visit the Beverly Tree Farm website here.
