During the holiday season we do deliveries for Cambridge Lights, a Christmas tree delivery company servicing Cambridge, Boston, Somerville, Arlington, Belmont, Brookline and the greater-Boston area.

Not only does Cambridge Lights deliver Christmas trees, they hang lights, wreaths, garlands and other holiday decorations. At the end of the Christmas season they'll even pick up your tree and recycle it for you. They have a lot to offer during the very busy holiday season. The best part is, if you want, they'll string lights on the tree for you, giving you more time to wrap presents and drink some delicious egg nog!

If you'd like to speak to them about a Christmas tree delivery or having some lights hung around your house give them a call at 617.600.3204. You can also e-mail them at info@cambridgelights.com. They'd love to hear from you and we'd love spread some holiday cheer by dropping off a tree at your house!

Parking Permits - Brookline

Obtaining a parking permit for the town of Brookline is a pretty straight forward afair. As usual, if you would like us to get the permit for you we charge $90/permit in Brookline, which includes going to get the permit, the cost of the permit and putting it up.

If you would like to take care of the permit yourself the first thing you do is go to 333 Washington St. in Brookline, which is the Brookline Town Hall. On the 4th floor is the Transportation Division, which where you will both pay for and pick up your "no parking" signs. Sometimes the office doesn't seem very well staffed, but someone always comes out to help and they're very nice there.

Each sign costs $5, so you'll be paying $10 for two. In addition to the sign fee, you'll have to pay $7.50 per meter space if the truck will be occupying meter spaces during your move. You will have to put the signs up yourself. Per the Town of Brookline, signs cannot be put up until after 7 pm the night before the move (its possible its 5 PM. The town issued signs and paperwork will state this information). You can request a parking as far in advance as you'd like, but the signs can't go up until the night before. So far, this short time line hasn't caused any problems, but its good to be aware and check the space as early as possible the next day to make sure no one is parked there. Also, be aware that the office is not open on weekends, so if you have a Monday move scheduled you'll need to go get your signs on Friday the latest.

If you have any further questions, either specific to your particular move or about information that wasn't covered here, you can call the Transportation Division at 617.730.2177.
