BEALS, Maine (CBS) — In a small Maine fishing town, they’re celebrating the holiday season with a special 50-foot tall Christmas tree made of lobster traps.

That 'tree' is cool on so many levels; creative use of available materials, looks really nifty AND it is a real reminder of the holiday spirit as those folks give thanks for what they love to do and their livelihood as they pull their life from the sea.

Fishers of Men indeed. I'm cravin' some lobstah' now.

Medic Matthew knows the song of my people!

FYI Pissed there are LOTS of Beals in Down East Maine. No idea how the family linage(s) work for that. Best not to ask, I suppose...
