[@DTours]

The tree has… Character.. Lol. It’s awful. Thanks for watching John. Happy Holidays🎄

[@ThatWilyOtter]

Great video Derek yet again! Thanks for all you do!

[@DTours]

Thanks David. Merry Christmas to you guys🎄

[@countrycandle1460]

Hey Derek. It wouldn't be Halloween without you going to Salem and watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@DTours]

Thank you for enjoying my content🎄🎃

[@wickedflagon]

Cool cap, Derek! The first scally cap I owned was an official Dropkick Murphys one I bought from the band's mailorder service way back when in high school. Happy holidays!

[@DTours]

I like a good scally cap. Sometimes they are hard to pull off if it doesn’t fit correctly. This is my favorite one of the few that I have. Happy Holidays🎄

[@LauraCarroll-e1g]

Great video Derek! I love watching all your adventures in Salem and beyond! I have to say, that Christmas tree is quite unique, it has a little of a Tim Burton feel and a little wonky which is perfect for Salem. Last years tree was the same, LOL. Thanks so much for all you do! It was great to see Brandon as Jack Frost, his costumes are incredible. As much as I love Christmas, I don't love it as much as Halloween but its all good!

[@DTours]

Unique is definitely the correct word when describing that tree. Lol. Yup, Brandon as Jack Frost was awesome. Good seeing Borah as Buddy The Elf.. Salem Jack was supposed to be there but didn’t make it. I missed him. Thanks for watching Laura. Happy Holidays🎄

[@LauraCarroll-e1g]

@DTours same to you Derek! Happy Holidays!

[@danhanlon7513]

YES that tree is leaning. Not many lights. But overall great job as always Derek. Happy Holidays.

[@DTours]

Hey Dan. Thanks as always for supporting the channel. I appreciate you man. Yup, every year the Salem Christmas Trees has its own unique character. lol. I’ll just leave it at that. I don’t wanna be kicked out of Salem for talking shit about the tree! lol. Happy Holidays.

[@tammywillis6763]

Awwww!!! Thank you Derek!! I was in Salem last Christmas, spending Christmas with my son. Can't make it this year ☹️☹️ but it was awesome watching this!!! Merry Christmas 🎄❄️🎄❄️🎄❄️

[@DTours]

I had to do it.. That’s the only Borah quote I can do that kinda sounds like Borah. Was good seeing him in his Buddy the Elf costume. Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays.

[@MarkSide_]

Salem seems chilled and relax post halloween I like it.

[@DTours]

It certainly is Mark. Except during this event and the Ice Sculpture Festival in February. Other than that Salem is quiet during the winter. Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays.

[@danesorrells9206]

A perfect start to the boat season with the Dman. Great video sir and glad you got to see some of the crew. Keep up the great work and keep well sir.

[@DTours]

It was a fun night. Too bad Jack couldn’t make it though. But it was good to see Borah and Brandon. Plus Adam’s Family and Predator were there out of costume. Stay tuned for more holiday fun as I head to Florida this weekend. Happy Hokidays Dane.

[@danesorrells9206]

@DTours and same to you my guy

[@chrismacmillan3535]

That tree is leaning like Derek at the end of a good night.

[@DTours]

Haha! Maybe someone brought the tree to the Kowloon first for a Mai Tai. lol.

[@gregjohnson4604]

Another good video....Thanks

[@DTours]

Thanks Greg. Happy Holidays🎄

[@robertboyd6777]

Great video as always

[@DTours]

Thanks for enjoying my content Robert🎄

[@johnmartin7182]

lobster Mac and cheese is the bomb had it at sea level at the wharf mega stuff as always your rockin it merry Xmas

[@DTours]

I certainly wouldn’t be eating that! I hate sea food. lol. Baby steps with the Mac & Cheese, John. Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays.

[@mary-anneswanson1428]

Hi Derek it was quite nice to see the Christmas Salem :) It was awesome to see Brandon as Jack Frost . Rise of The Guardians is one of my favorite movies :) Hello to the rest of the crew . I thought I might have seen Borah in disguise :) Merry Christmas :)

[@DTours]

Hey Mary. Thanks for watching. Was good seeing Brandon and Borah. Some of the other Buskers were there not in costume so was good seeing them as well. Was a fun night. Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays🎄

[@crazylarry1959]

HELLO DEREK MERRY CHRISTMAS A HEALTHY NEW YEAR AS ALWAYS LARRY FROM LONG ISLAND

[@DTours]

Thank you Larry. Merry Christmas man. Stay tuned for more holiday fun.

[@cornfedwrx]

Happy holidays 💯

[@DTours]

Happy Holidays. Thanks for watching.

[@billkelly6292]

That Christmas Tree is brutal!!

[@DTours]

I can’t disagree. lol🎄

[@amym8209]

WOW!!! What a sad sad sad looking tree!! Was it worth cutting down a 35 plus year old tree for that?? ALLLLL that money they make off Halloween and parking, they can't afford to make that tree look halfway respectful?? I hope people wise up and stop donating trees until the city can spend a little money on some decor! Tell Salem WHAT A WASTE!! Thanks for the content Derek! Merry Christmas!! 🎄 🎅 ⛄️

[@DTours]

I can’t disagree with your comment. I share the same thoughts. I know my parking money alone would have bought some nicer lights. Lol. Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays.

[@NormanDoane]

happy holidays derek great video my friend as always and baked mac & cheese with breadcrumbs is one of my favs highly suggest maybe add bacon if your feeling dangerous!

[@DTours]

I love bacon in anything. Lol. Thanks for watching Norman. Glad you enjoy my content. Happy Holidays🎄

[@PoppaSquat-et3qp]

Where’s those dang reindeers when ya need ‘em?

[@ricktimus73]

Honestly it’s probably my love for Charlie Brown’s Christmas but I like how janky the Salem one looks. It has character, they say 😂 Happy holidays, Derek!

[@DTours]

It’s totally a Charlie Brown Tree. Great reference! Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays🎄

[@daniellocke9534]

Forget the Sculley cap and get a Stetson like Indiana Jone's

[@DTours]

Good advice.

[@stacynoble3909]

When would you suggest going to Salem other than Halloween ..the reason I ask is the hotels are completely jacked by the beginning of September ? Second question ..I fly into Boston then I can take that train to Salem from that train station you point out..correct??

[@DTours]

I think you would take the train from North Station (TD Garden) in Boston to that train stop in Salem that I point out. I’ve never done it. January till April there isn’t much going on. Lots of stores shut down for the winter. May till Sept is a good time to visit with low crowds and stores open. No Halloween vibes until late September.

[@naomigerhard2629]

Hi. Derik

[@DTours]

Hi Naomi. It’s spelled Derek. Thanks for watching.

[@amazingmurfinator6338]

The trombone player with a filthy 90s Patriots Starter jacket........

[@CountAkula]

OK, I think the town of Salem should hire me as the official Xmas tree decorator for next year. I'd put a bunch of pagan, spooky and creepy ornaments on it with tons of cool LED lights and a massive Krampus topper with light up eyes! What is this thing we keep getting? Looks sad and very lackluster. I'm sure the town brings in tons of cash every year right? Can't we get something cooler than this? Ah well, Happy Winter Solstice Derek!

[@CountAkula]

PS - That tree has been sippin' on more codeine cough syrup than Lil Wayne was back in 2009.......... IT'S LEANIN'!!!!!

[@DTours]

I guess the tree is donated, which is cool. But they need to do a better job making it straight and decorating it. Always a miss. But that’s the charm of it all I guess. Like a large Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. Lol. Thanks for watching🎄

[@ediewalters3408]

Derrick do you have a PO Box that you share I would love to send you a Christmas gift

[@DTours]

Unfortunately no PO Box. In the Fall viewers usually just leave stuff for me at Count Orlocks. But the close at the end of this month for several months and I won’t be back there for a while. But thanks for thinking of me.

[@jamesvolpe3581]

Great vid, but that tree needs a lot of work!

[@DTours]

Apparently they are grown and donated by a farmer in Massachusetts or something. But every year there always seems to be something a little off with the tree..Last year it was t full enough. This year it’s leaning. Don’t know what to tell ya. lol. Thanks for watching though James. Happy Holidays.

[@n.d.7931]

What is it with Salem's womp womp Christmas trees every year?! They literally just reused last years decorations lol

[@DTours]

The tree is always donated every year. So they aren’t professional Christmas Trees. But they have their own… Style and Character. lol. Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays.

[@Tamesis66]

That tree is awful - leaning (for sure a strong wind will knock it over) & the lights look like they just dropped them onto it from the sky and just WHITE? It's like someone decorated it blindfolded. It almost looks like an afterthought. Salem needs to do better!

[@DTours]

Yeah. The tree always misses every year. 🎄

[@Zenlife1132]

Bad tree lol

[@DTours]

Awful tree..

[@Zenlife1132]

@DTours 💯 I was like wth?? Really?? 🤣 go back to the drawing board.
