N. ABINGTON TWP. — As the sun cast shades of pink and orange onto the sky shortly before twilight Monday, families from all over the region wandered up and down the rows at Roba Family Farms, searching for just the right Christmas tree. Too round, too tall, not full enough – each tree was carefully evaluated before unanimous decisions were made and saws were put to trunks.
