h, Christmas Tree…

How to Select the Perfect holiday Tree!

by Lisa Lelas

Container Trees for Planting: Perhaps this is the year for selecting a live tree, with its root ball, so that you can plant it in your yard after the holiday season to enjoy for many years ahead! Before choosing a live tree, you must first determine exactly where the tree will be planted outdoors after the season passes. Once you decide on its permanent spot, remember to pre-dig a hole two times as wide as the root ball, and equal to, or slightly less than the depth of the root ball.

Most fresh/live trees are available in containers or balled in burlap.

Best choices, as recommended by the Gledhill Christmas Tree Lot in West Hartford, are the Balsam Fir, Blue Spruce, Norway Spruce, or Omorika Spruce.

If you are purchasing one of these trees this year, make sure you choose a tree with fresh green needles. When you bring the tree home, keep it outside and give it plenty of water. On an outside porch is a fine location. Ideally, you should only bring the tree indoors a few days prior to Christmas (trees actually only survive a few days indoors). Continue to give your tree plenty of water.

Container trees can still appear just as festive in your living room by simply adding a large tree skirt around the entire root ball. Gledhill offers a huge selection of tree skirts in various sizes and colors.

After the holiday festivities, plant the tree in the pre-dug hole. Adding an amendment, such as Fafard compost or planting mix, will help establish the tree.

Fresh Cut Trees: If you and your family are opting for a fresh cut tree to take home, Balsam and Frasier Fir trees are the most popular and durable.

For best results, make sure the tree you purchase is local to your region of the country. All Gledhill fresh cut trees, for example, are grown in the Northeast, so they haven’t spent many days or weeks on a hauler truck.

Give the needles a snap test, whereby you bend a needle on a tree to see if it ‘snaps’ easily, indicating it’s a freshly cut tree. A fresh cut off the bottom of the tree will allow it to take up water and remain fresh longer. When you get home, place the tree in a fresh supply of water. Adding Pro-Long or Fresh-Cut (infused with pine scent) will extend the life of your cut tree.

Another recommended product is Wilt-Pruf, which helps extend the life of fresh garlands and wreaths. Always follow the directions on the product label. n 14

Tips for lessoning the stress and strengthening the traditions

by Lisa Lelas

E

ver feel like simply forgetting about a family holiday tradition in exchange for some down time? Are the trappings and red tape of the holidays simply trampling over the joy this year?

Is the thought of writing cards, gift shopping, decorating and planning your annual cookie swap overwhelming you already?

While it’s easy to get tangled up in the holiday web of endless activities and chores…adjust and simplify them if you must, but don’t give up on family traditions. With a little finetuning you can see them, not as obligations, but as blessings.

After all, we are fortunate to have this one time of year that shakes up our daily life, colors our world with extra sparkle, warms our heart with gratitude, connects us with our loved ones and gives us new perspective as we prepare for the New Year. So, throw a candy cane into your coffee mug and take note on how to lesson the stress and strengthen the traditions of everyone’s favorite holiday season!

Gift Giving: Take a large manila envelope and label it ‘Holiday Shopping 2012’ and use it as the one assigned place to throw in all your holiday receipts this year. Cut your gift list in half, and shop only for your closest friends and relatives. If your extended family agrees, pick names out of a hat, whereby family members now just buy for the person whose name they draw. Give ‘coupons for service’, such as babysitting or meal making. Give to charitable causes in the person’s name this year. Keep a list of ideas going all year long of items they really want and keep track of their sizes. Exchange one ‘family’ gift between families rather than buying for everyone in the family. Buy recurring gifts that the recipient will look forward to each year, such as Florida citrus, Vermont cheeses, a holiday collectable or theatre tickets. Keep some extra gift bags and generic gifts on hand (ones that you can also use after the holidays) in case you need an additional hostess gift or something for an unexpected guest, such as one size fits all gloves, bottles of merlot or pairs of candles tied together with raffia.

While it’s easy to get tangled up in the holiday web of endless activities and chores…adjust and simplify them...but don’t give up on family traditions.

Sending Cards: Keep your address book filed and updated on your computer throughout the year and simply print out a sheet of pre-addressed labels. Make sure you add a hand-written greeting to everyone on your card list because offering a personal connection to someone special in your life is part of the reason we refuse to give up on sending cards. Divide a daunting card list into smaller, more manageable lists, writing only a few at a time, each evening after you tuck in the kids. Order your postage stamps on-line (usps.com) to avoid spending half your day at the post office.

Holiday Parties: Make it a point to say ‘no’ at least once when someone invites you to attend a holiday party if you tend to feel over-scheduled during this busy season. Receiving an invitation is a great salute to you, but you’re not obligated to accept every one. If you are the party host, consider holding the festivity away from home…perhaps a caroling party through the neighborhood, or at a restaurant, eliminating the need for pre-cleaning and decorating as well as cleaning up.

Still want the big bash at home? Throw it early in the season.

Your guests will be more excited about catching the spirit, less burnt out from other parties and you’re more likely not to be competing with other party dates within the same social circle.

Holiday Baking/Cooking: For your favorite celebratory meals, turn your recipe cards into a shopping list by writing the menu on the front of an index card and all the ingredients needed to prepare it on the back. Once a week, make a double batch of the family meal to freeze, so you’ll have extra meals ready to heat up in a pinch, as the days only get busier. You don’t have to give up the traditional cookie-bake day with your kids, just do it earlier, preferably even before Thanksgiving and freeze the cookies, thawing out only those you need throughout the season.

Decorating the House: Don’t be the one that does everything this year. Make it a family affair. Host a family tree trimming party one weekend afternoon, complete with hot cocoa, popcorn and a classic holiday movie. Rather than anguish over hundreds of old ornaments, pull out only your absolute favorite ornaments this year and when packing up the décor, place them in their own storage bin, labeled ‘family favorites’. Simplify holiday decorating by concentrating primarily on the room your family spends the most time in. White candles with sprigs of evergreen can elegantly brighten up a fireplace mantle or dining room table. Plop a big red candle in the middle of your kitchen table and light it at every meal this season…yes, even breakfast! Place a wreath on the front door and load your I-Pod with holiday classics … go ahead, it’s time…and it’s okay to get into the spirit already! Have a wonderful holiday season! n

“we are fortunate to have this one time of year that...colors our world with extra sparkle, warms our heart with gratitude, connects us with loved ones and gives us new perspective...”
