Top off Christmas withlhe right tree

Cash registers will jingle to the tune of an estimated S6OO million in the next few weeks as holiday shoppers search for the perfect Christmas tree. “This once-a-year expedition is fun, but fringing home just the right tree involves several decisions,” said Frank O’Sullivan, U.S. Department of Agriculture marketing specialist. According to the National Christmas Tree Association, the Scotch pine is the most popular Christmas tree — partly because it holds its needles longa- than most others. The Douglas fir, with short, soft needles attached all around the twig, is second on the list of favorites. Third in popularity is the Balsam fir, with short, rounded needles and twigs that grow at right angles to the branches so they look like crosses. Other favorites include Eastern redeedar, the spruce tree, and the Red or Norway pine, O’Sullivan said. “Once you've decided what kind of tree best suits your decorating needs, the next big decision is which tree on the lot looks best, ” he said.

USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service has developed grade standards for Christmas trees that describe different levels of quality. O’Sullivan said the grades are used mainly in wholesale trading, so you probably won’t find a grade tag on the tree you buy. A few simple procedures can help you select just the right tree, he said. “Choose a tree that is the right height for the space you’ve selected,” he said. “Freshness is important,

Holiday giving

By PAT RATHBUN Extension Agent, Home Ec Holiday giving can take many forms — the crafting of incredible, edible ornaments to dangle from the branches of the Christmas tree, the giving of parties where beautifully decorated cookies, candies and breads are served, the baking of cookies to be given away joyfully. As you’re planning for your holiday baking, keep in mind the nourishment the product provides, appearance of the finished product, cost, and ease of preparation. Holiday treats are generally associated with sweetness and empty calories. Pack the treats with good nutrition by selecting recipes with nuts, rolled oats, dairy products, fruits and vegetables, wheat germ and other nutritious ingredients. Plan for ways to make the finished product “gifty” for giving. Some baked goods may only need an overwrap of clear plastic and a bow. Others might be made “gifty” by placing in inexpensive glass jars, covered show boxes, milk cartons, coffee cans, or rolled oat boxes: or fill useable kitchen equipment such as cookie sheet, flour sifter, vegetable steamer, or cooling rack. Keep in mind the amount of time you can give to your preparations. You’re going to be extremely busy in the weeks ahead so be realistic about the extra work you can handle. Early holiday food preparations mean proper storage to preserve the quality of the goods. Many products have different storage conditions and times. Use this guide for proper storage: Breads, quick — seal in plastic, keep in cool place for two weeks Breads, yeast — seal in plastic, keep in cool place for two to three days Cakes — cover, keep in cool.

especially if you plan to buy the tree several days before you decorate it. To be sure it’s fresh, run your fingers down a branch — the needles should adhere to each twig. Lightly bounce the tree on the ground.’’ he continued. “If many needles drop off, the tree is too dry. Look over the tree in an open space with good lighting. Consider that the tree has four sides. The limbs should be strong enough to hold ornaments and strings of electric lights. If you

Or make cut-out cookies to hang on the tree. Just make a small hole in the cookies with a drinking straw before baking. After decorating, thread the cookies with yarn, ribbon or cord and tie them onto the tree.

use a star or angel on top of the tree, you’ll want to be sure to have a strong leader at the top. Don’t forget to look for crooks in the trunk or large bare spaces between the branches. If you buy your tree several days before it will be decorated, O’Sullivan suggests you store it outside in a container of water. But first, cut the butt off the tree at a diagonal about one inch above the original cut to open the pores and aid in absorption of water, he said. Sprinkling water on the branches and needles also helps retain freshness. “When you bring the tree into the house, saw the butt again, squaring off the diagonal,” O’Sullivan said. “This makes it easier to put the tree in the stand and aids absorption.' ’ Be sure the base of the tree is well supported and that the tree is placed away from fireplaces, radiators, electric heaters, televisions and other sources of heat. Open flames, such as lighted candles, should never be used on or near the tree. “The longer the tree is indoors, the more combustible it will become,” O'Sullivan commented. "The tree should be kept in a container of water the entire time it is in the house. The container should be refilled each day, since the tree requires a lot of water.” Following these tips should insure an attractive tree that stays fresh indoors for more than a week, O’Sullivan said.
