Tips To Pick The Perfect Christmas Tree

Christmas trees are among the most recognizable symbols of the holiday season, and the popularity of trees is undeniable. According to the National Christmas Tree Association, approximately 25 to 30 million real Christmas trees are sold in the United States each year. Christmas trees also are big business in Canada, where Statistics Canada notes cash receipts from Canadian Christmas tree producers totaled nearly $163.5 million in 2022.

Annual spending on Christmas trees underscores how important they are to holiday decor. Christmas trees serve as the centerpiece in millions of holiday home decor schemes, so it's important to pick a tree that can shine in that role. This holiday season, celebrants can consider these tips as they look for the perfect Christmas tree. · Measure the area where the tree will be placed. A large tree can be aweinspiring but also can stick out like a sore thumb if it takes up too much space.

There should be enough room around the tree for families and their guests to sit around it. The home interior experts at Better Homes & Gardens recommend leaving a minimum of six inches between the top of the tree and the ceiling. If a tree

topper will be added, make sure the top of the tree is at least 12 inches from the ceiling. Measure the area before leaving to buy a tree, so it can fit nicely into the room and the surrounding decor. · Try the shake test. Anyone who has purchased a fresh-cut Christmas tree is undoubtedly familiar with the shake test, which remains an effective way to measure the dryness of the tree. A slight shake will produce some fallen needles.

If the needles are brown and few and far between, then the tree likely is not overly dry. However, a lot of falling green needles indicate the tree is already drying out, which means it could shed quite a bit and lose its looks before Christmas Day. · Pick a tree with a symmetrical look.

Trees are living things, so it's unlikely that buyers will find a perfectly symmetrical tree. However, a tree that's misshapen or already has some sagging branches won't make for an awe-inspiring addition to a home decor scheme. · Find the trunk (if you can). A trunk that's visible through the branches indicates the tree does not have dense branches, which will be necessary if homeowners want to dress the tree with ornaments. If it's hard to find the

trunk because of all the thick branches and green needles, then the tree is likely pretty healthy. · Test the needles. The home improvement experts at Lowes note that needles should be flexible but still snap when bent sharply. Avoid trees with

needles that are already losing their color and can easily be pulled off.

A Christmas tree garners a lot of attention come the holiday season, which only underscores the significance of finding a tree worthy of being the centerpiece of holiday decor.

Continued From 3 Energy Use Keep the thermostat between 68 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit while you’re awake, and lower when you’re asleep or away.

Add insulation to walls and pipes. This is a very inexpensive way to reduce your energy bill. Focus on your attic because heat rises, and this will keep heat in your living spaces. Also pay attention to electrical outlets, anywhere utilities enter the house, pipes (to prevent freezing and bursting), and appliances

such as water heaters.

Adjust ceiling fans. Run fans clockwise in winter to push rising warm air down, potentially enabling you to lower the thermostat.

In the summer, run fans counterclockwise to create windchill.

Unplug unused electronics. Also, consider switching to LED light bulbs, which are more energy efficient. Putting lights on a timer is both easy and cost-efficient.

Put rugs on hardwood floors. This provides a layer of insulation and can warm up a room­ —both literally and figuratively.

Open the curtains during the day and close them at night. Letting the sun in­—even the weaker sunlight of winter—can help naturally warm a room, while drawing shades and drapes at night helps keep heat in and prevents drafts.

Just in case Big storms happen, as do power outages.

National Grid is working to reduce power outages, which involves everything from the simple (trimming trees around lines) to the complex (installing smart meters and technology that automatically locates and isolates outages and restores service as quickly as possible). To make sure you and your family are prepared if the power does go out, do the following: • Keep a gallon of water per person per day in

an easily accessible, air-tight container • Have three days of non-perishable food on hand (including for your pets) • Put together a first aid kit • Make sure batteries work in flashlights, lanterns, radios etc.

• Keep matches, candles, flashlights, etc., where you can find them easily • Fully charge phones • Have extra medication at the ready • Fill your bathtub with water (for toilet flushing) • Turn refrigerator and freezer to coldest

settings, keep doors closed as much as possible • Gas up the car If you have a generator, make sure it’s at least 20 feet away from the outside wall of your home. Never operate it in an enclosed space, employ GFCI protection, and use the proper cord.

Thinking long-term Get a professional energy audit. The auditor will ask about your bills and check your home to make sure it’s properly sealed.

If you’re income eligible, this audit could be free—along with additional discounted or no-cost services such as insulation and air sealing upgrades, new appliances and heating or cooling systems and more. Find out more at https://www. nationalgridus.com/NYHome/Bill-Help/EnergySavings-Programs.

Consider zoned heating. Target heating and cooling to where it’s needed.

Switch to a smart thermostat.

A programmable thermostat lets you fine tune when your furnace runs, letting you pre-set it at a lower temperature while you

sleep or are away and have it turn up just before you come home.
