Concord Museum Christmas Trees

Each year the Concord Museum, in Concord, Mass, puts up themed Christmas trees.  The trees are based on children's literature and copies of the books are displayed next to each tree.  The thirty plus trees are located throughout the museum and range in all shapes and sizes.  The trees and stories change each year.  Admission this year ran at $15 per adult, $6/child,  and children 3 under being free.  Parking is street parking along Lexington St and is also free.  (Be careful crossing the street, cars drive very quickly on Lexington St).  The museum opens the exhibit just after Thanksgiving and it stays open through January 1.  Throughout the duration of the exhibit, various authors of the books will visit, sometimes characters from the books, and other events take place.  Checking the website will give you the annual calendar.

Concord center, just down the street is also a quaint, lovely little town center which is great for Christmas shopping or wandering around.  Metered street parking is available there.

McCue's Flower Outlet

For Christmas trees and decorations that are well-priced and last, visit McCue's Flower Outlet in Billerica, Ma.  Their Christmas trees tend to be slightly below prices of greenhouses and garden centers that are in the city or suburbs and they have a wide variety of Christmas plants, decorations, wreathes, Kissing Balls, and garlands.
They are open throughout all the garden seasons.  We tend to go a few times a year, in the spring for planting season and before Christmas.  They also have great sales at the end of the season(s) (particularly late spring).  
To keep up-to-date, I check out their Facebook page.  http://www.facebook.com/mccuesfloweroutlet
