Professional Advice for Selecting Your Christmas Tree By Ronald Scaglia One holiday tradition is to select a tree to bring home and decorate. Experts from local nurseries have offered some advice on how to select a tree and how to maintain it through the holiday season. According to Fred Falconer, owner of Falconer Florists in Port Washington, there are three main types of holiday trees available in this area – Balsam Fir, Fraser Fir and Canaan Fir. He said that these trees are popular in Northeast homes, as holiday trees tend to have been grown relatively close or the shipping costs would raise the prices too high for many. Falconer said the holiday trees in this area come from Canada, Maine, Vermont, upstate New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and even the Carolinas. This year, the trees for sale in his nursery were grown in Connecticut. Because of the shipping costs, he said it is unlikely to see a tree from Oregon in a Long Island home, even though the Pacific Northwest is renowned for its evergreen trees. Falconer said that the balsam fir is the traditional holiday tree. He estimated the price of a balsam fir that is about five to six feet in height, to be between 35 to 50 dollars. This would make this type less expensive than Fraser firs, which he says are becoming the most popular choice for holiday trees. Falconer also said that balsam firs tend to be more fragrant than other types of trees, so this tree will give your home an authentic holiday feel. “This is your old-time, old-fashioned, traditional Christmas tree,� said Falconer. However, one drawback is needle retention. Falconer said that balsam firs shed needles fairly quickly. Alison Caldwell, a buyer with Hicks Nurseries in Westbury, agrees with Fal-
The Christmas tree is always the center of attention, whatever kind of tree you select and decorate.
coner that balsams do not have good needle retention and said that consumers who purchase balsam firs tend to do so because these are the trees they had as children and they want to continue that tradition. She also said that some consumers prefer the softer feel that balsam firs have as compared to other trees and that price is another consideration as balsams are slightly more affordable than Fraser firs. Fraser firs have replaced balsam firs as
the most popular tree being sold in this region for the holidays, according to Falconer. He said that Fraser firs are popular because they do not drop their needles as easily as other trees and tend to last longer, so they will retain a quality look throughout the holiday season. He described Fraser firs as having nice green color with a tinge of silver to them “I’ve taken Fraser firs out of the house after Christmas that haven’t dropped a
needle,� said Falconer. “It’s really a top quality tree.� Caldwell concurs that Fraser firs are now the most popular trees sold. She said that in addition to retaining needles longer, Fraser firs are stronger so they are better able to hold heavier ornaments. “A Fraser fir does better with heavier ornaments because the branches are more rigid and give more support,� said Caldwell.

By Ronald Scaglia Is there someone on your holiday list that you just can’t decide on a gift for? A gift basket may be your solution. Gift baskets can be made up of a wide assortment of products, with food being a popular choice. Sweets, pastas, sauces, coffees, fruits and goodies can all be part of a nice package so there are many options to please even the most difficult individuals on your shopping list. “I feel it’s a great value because it’s something you use, consume and enjoy,” Joe Iavarone, President of Iavarone Joe and Chris Iavarone recommend gift baskets as a nice holiBros., said when speakday present. ing of food gift baskets as holiday gifts.

Jewelry can be a great holiday gift to receive, but for many, buying jewelry to give is intimidating. For anyone facing these questions, this guide is for you.
Materials To make sure you buy a quality piece that will last, you need to know about what jewelry is made of. The three most common metals used include: • Gold. When you see the word “gold” by itself on a piece, it means all gold, or 24karat gold. Twenty-four-karat gold is soft, so it’s usually mixed with other metals to make it more durable. Fourteen-karat jewelry contains 14 parts gold mixed with 10 parts of a base metal. The higher the karat rating, the higher the proportion of gold. • Sterling silver. This term describes a piece that contains 92.5 percent silver. Sometimes they are marked “925,” which means 925 parts per thousand are pure silver. “Coin silver” is used for compounds that contain 90 percent silver. • Platinum. Platinum is a natural, whitecolored, precious metal that is often described as being strong, durable and corrosion resistant. It’s usually mixed with other similar metals, such as iridium, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium and osmium.

There are many gems and metals to pick from; let the recipient’s personal style and preferences guide you when purchasing jewelry as a gift. For example, does he only wear gold jewelry? Or does he prefer only silver? Is most of her jewelry made up of small, understated pieces, or bigger, bolder pieces?
Choosing Necklaces 77206

How do you choose the necklace to buy? First, you need to know the different lengths: • 16 inches — choker length • 18 inches — at collarbone
• 20 inches — a few inches below collarbone • 22 inches — at or above neckline • 24 inches — below neckline • 28 inches — around the bustling
Rings Getting the ring-fit right can be tricky. To make choosing easier, use a ring-sizing chart. Take a ring that fits and place it over the nearest-sized circle. The inner edge of the ring should align with the outer edge of the circle. If the ring appears to fit between two sizes, buy the larger size.
Earrings Earrings for women should balance the shape of the face. • Oval faces – Almost any earring style will work, especially hoops and triangles. • Round faces – Longer earrings with oblong or straight styles are great. Avoid round and chunky earrings that sit on the ear lobe. • Square faces – Hoops, ovals and small earrings work best. Avoid short and chunky earrings because they can make the face look wider.
Protecting Your Purchase • Know exactly what you’re purchasing, and get all estimates of gem quality and treatments in writing. • Be sure to ask about your jeweler’s return policy before purchasing. If shopping online, buy only from reputable and researched sources. • Losing valuable jewelry is always disappointing, but if the piece was a gift it likely had emotional value as well, which can make it heartbreaking to lose. Plan ahead to preserve your precious memories by having valuable gifts appraised and insured by a company that specializes in jewelry insurance, such as Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company.

Port Washington Presents ‘Holiday Magic’ Shopping Event By Ronald Scaglia On Dec. 10, vendors in Port Washington will once again be participating in a special event called Port Holiday Magic. There will be many fun-filled activities giving shoppers a chance to shop locally and turn what can be a stressful holiday chore into a festive fun-filled day and evening. “Our goal is to get the community to shop locally and the only way to do this is to create a special community experience,” said Mindy Germain, executive director of Residents for a More Beautiful Port Washington. Organizers of the event are hoping that shoppers will be drawn to the festive atmosphere filled with enjoyable activities as opposed to the crowded, stress-filled situations that holiday shopping can bring. Germain said there would be performances by the Louise Benes Dance Company. Choirs from the Reconstructionist Synagogue of the North Shore, Schreiber High School and St. Peter’s School will also perform. And, of course, a jolly man in a red suit will be taking the day off from his work at the North Pole to share the excitement of Port Holiday Magic. “It is the magical experience that everybody wants,” said Germain. In addition, vendors will be providing their own attractions, giving it the term “shoppertainment.” There will be offerings of cheese, wine, hot chocolate, other restaurant offerings, dining specials, discounts on clothing, raffles, a scavenger hunt through the different stores and much more. Dvora Troshane, director, artist and teacher at Peace Love Art Studio said that 15 percent of sales in her studio would go to support music and art programs in Port Washington. In addition there is a Chil-

dren’s Book Sale (in collaboration with The Dolphin Book Shop) in which proceeds from books bought at Peace Love Art will go to Reading Dream (providing books to underprivileged schools). The studio will also be offering free face painting. “It’s a wonderful thing and a wonderful way to bring the community together,” said Troshane. “It’s warmth, holiday spirit, togetherness, and being part of a community.” This year, the event has been expanded and now includes Main Street, part of Port Washington Boulevard, Soundview Market Place and the Shop N Stop shopping center. There will be two trolleys to usher

shoppers around the activities, helping to provide an extra bit of charm to the event. “You leave your car in a parking lot and take a trolley right to the stores,” said Roy Smitheimer, executive director of the Port Washington Business Improvement District (BID). Smitheimer said the night is a collaboration of three groups coming together to present the special evening. The Greater Port Washington BID, the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce and Residents for a More Beautiful Port Washington are combining their efforts to present the special holiday event with major support from the Town of North Hempstead.
“We’re providing the fun factor to make this a worthwhile experience for all those who come to shop in our town,” said Smitheimer. The event will be held from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10. However, while the vendors will be offering their specials throughout the day, the entertainment will be focused in the afternoon and evening hours. “You get to know everything Port Washington has to offer and have a great time,” said Bobbie Polay, Executive Director of the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce. “You can get a lot of holiday shopping done and be entertained.”

Study Projecting a ‘Digital Holiday Season’ Increase Expected In Spending on Electronics and Gifts Overall Consumer spending on electronic gifts this holiday will reach an all-time high, according to new research released from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). CEA’s 18th Annual CE Holiday Purchase Patterns Study shows that overall spending this holiday will increase as well. Consumer electronics are once again among the most desired gifts this holiday season and will account for one-third of all holiday gift spending, according to the study which found that consumers plan to spend on average $246 on electronics gifts, an increase of 6 percent from last year and the highest level since CEA began tracking holiday spending. Overall gift spending will also increase. The study concluded that consumers plan to spend on average $769 on gifts this year, 3 percent higher than last year. CEA expects holiday retail sales to increase 2.5 percent this year. “Consumer electronics continue to play a leading role in holiday shopping, with consumer tech clearly being a go-to category for holiday gift spending,” said Shawn DuBravac, CEA’s chief economist and director of research. “After months of depressed consumer confidence, individuals are indicating they plan to spend this holiday and are looking for technology, as more adults will buy consumer electronics as a gift this year as compared to last year.”
Consumer electronics, including iPads, laptops and TVs are among the most popular holiday gifts according to the Consumer Electronics Association.
The study predicts that computing products will lead the way this holiday season. Tablet computers trail only clothes as the most wanted gifts overall. Notebook computers are also high on the list, along with peace, happiness and money. When it comes to electronics, behind tablets and laptops, TVs (any type), e-readers and video game consoles are the most wanted consumer electronics gifts. Electronics accessories and gift cards will also be popular gifts this holiday. Four out of five adults plan to give a gift card this year, up 5 percent from last year,
many of them for digital content and services. One in four consumers plans to give a gift card that can be used for digital music purchases, one in five for electronic book purchases and 16 percent for app purchases. “It is going to be a computing holiday season, with tablets looking to be the runaway success story,” said DuBravac. “New, innovative product categories like tablets and e-readers, combined with consistent favorites like notebook computers, video game consoles and televisions, will make this a digital holiday season. But the
economic landscape will have consumers searching for value, hunting for these technologies at attractive prices.” Price will be the most important factor as consumers decide where to buy their consumer electronics gifts. The ease of making a purchase and return policies are also important purchasing factors. Twothirds of consumers will compare the price for electronics online before making a purchase. However, consumers are more likely to buy consumer electronics gifts at mass merchants and electronics stores than online or at warehouse clubs.

However, Falconer said that Fraser firs cost more than balsam firs. He estimated the cost of a five to six foot Fraser fir to be between 45 and 60 dollars. He said a third type of tree, the Canaan fir, has become more popular in the Northeast over the past two to three years. According to Falconer. The Canaan fir is far more disease resistant than balsam firs and is therefore becoming more popular with farmers. “It looks a lot like the balsams but with better needle retention,” said Falconer of Canaan firs. He estimated the price of a five to six foot Canaan fir to be anywhere from 35 to 60 dollars. Caldwell said that some individuals are purchasing live trees and then planting those trees outside their homes. For new homeowners this is especially appealing, as the first holiday tree then becomes part of the yard. However, Falconer cautions that it can be quite difficult to get a tree to transition back outdoors after being inside for about a month. If attempting to do so, Caldwell suggests digging a hole now, while the ground is not frozen and filling it with leaves or straw to insulate the ground and then filling a wheelbarrow with the soil dug from the hole and keeping it in the garage to prevent the soil from freezing. When ready to move the tree back outside, temper the move by
first keeping the tree in a garage or Florida room to help your tree adjust to the colder temperatures. If the ground is not frozen, you can move the tree after a few days and use the soil that has been kept warm in your garage but be sure to keep the tree watered after making the move. After bringing your cut tree home, there are several steps that can be taken to preserve it through the holidays. Both Falconer and Caldwell said that the first of these is to give it a fresh cut on the bottom before bringing it inside. “It’s like cutting your finger – it scabs over,” said Falconer of the original cut on a tree. “Cut it once more to open it up and allow the water to better get in.” Falconer also recommends getting a good quality stand that holds plenty of water and then making sure that the stand is filled each day. He also recommends using a chemical preservative. Some choose to give the tree aspirin, but Falconer feels that chemical preservatives work better. Before bringing your tree inside, Caldwell suggests keeping your tree outside of your home for a day and directly in water to help the tree soak up as much water while outside as possible. Additionally, Caldwell suggests keeping the tree away from heat sources that will dry the tree out. If possible, she suggests keeping your tree in a Florida room.

Furthermore, a pet can ingest the pieces of a broken glass ornament, which can then cause internal bleeding. Ottaka warns that some dogs can knock ornaments down by simply wagging their tails. To be safe, Ottaka suggests not using glass ornaments at all, However, if used they should be placed very high on a tree where a pet cannot reach them or Ottaka suggests placing the ornaments in a bowl to be displayed on a table. And there is also the concern of a pet actually puling a holiday tree down. Ottaka says that cats like to climb up trees and may do so with your holiday tree. A playful dog could also run into the tree or even knock it down with a fast wagging tail. 3. Winter Plants Poinsettias, holly, evergreens and mistletoe can all be a danger to pets that play with and ingest these plants. Ottaka said that some of these plants are indeed toxic. Ironically, while many think of poinsettias as being toxic, Ottaka says that poinsettia plants are not truly toxic but can cause severe gastric upset in pets. However, holly, evergreens and mistletoe are all toxic for animals and can even be lethal if a large enough quantity is ingested. Her advice is to decorate using artificial plants. 4. Electrical Cords In the holiday movie Christmas Vacation, a string of lights goes out because a cat is chewing on the wire and has pulled the plug from the socket. As the cat continues to play with it, Clark finds the unplugged light set, plugs in the cord and the
By Ronald Scaglia The holidays are a season filled with joy and happiness and our pets can be a big part of the fun. However, some holiday traditions can also be quite dangerous to our furry friends. Sylvia Ottaka, Senior Director of Operations at the North Shore Animal League America says that pet parents should take precautions to protect our pets from the dangers of the holiday season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The holiday season is really a fun time of year, however, a lot of times people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look at the dangers,â&#x20AC;? said Ottaka who advises pet owners to be aware of the following holiday items, which can be a hazard for pets. 1. Candles and Open Flame Objects Ottaka says that a flickering light will attract a curious cat or a playful puppy. This can lead to your pet being burned. It also creates a potential fire hazard as a rambunctious pet may knock the candle over and start a fire. Ottaka advises pet owners to consider using flameless candles, which run on batteries. This will protect your pet from accidentally being injured and also might prevent a fire. 2. Holiday Trees â&#x20AC;&#x153;Holiday trees can be a source of danger,â&#x20AC;? said Ottaka. She said that tinsel looks pretty to people but to a cat or a dog it looks like a shiny, shimmering toy. According to Ottaka, pets will play with tinsel, or worse ingest it, which can cause serious medical problems, requiring it to be surgically removed. Furthermore, glass ornaments are also dangerous. The shiny objects dangling from a tree also look like toys to pets and they will swat at them playfully. However,

poor kitty has a miserable holiday. While this scene was played for comedic effect, the reality is that the electric wires that run from holiday lights pose a hazard to pets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pets chew on electric cords,â&#x20AC;? said Ottaka who advises pet owners to make sure that electric cords are secured and placed where pets cannot get to them. 5. Food Food is a big part of the holidays as evidenced by the extra pounds that we see on our scales in January. And as pets are considered family members, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost a natural instinct to share some of the delicious treats with our pets. However, Ottaka cau-
tions that trying to include our pets in the celebration can be harmful to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adding rich foods can upset their stomachs,â&#x20AC;? said Ottaka. She added that if you want to share a bit of the holiday fare with your pet, a little bit of turkey would be okay. However, she strongly urges pet parents to be vigilant in seeing that pets do not get onions, raisins, grapes, or onion powder which are all toxic for pets. And she strongly warns about the dangers of chocolate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chocolate can make animals seriously sick,â&#x20AC;? said Ottaka. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enough to cause gastric issues.â&#x20AC;?

By Ronald Scaglia The bright lights and festive decorations are a big part of making the holiday season so cheery. However, those decorations can also be a source of danger as holiday decorations can cause a fire. “We have had fires in Nassau County over the years that involved holiday decorations, candles and live trees,” said Vincent McManus, division supervisor with the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s Office. To help everyone enjoy the holidays while maintaining safety, McManus offers the following advice regarding holiday decorations. 1. Inspect Decorations Before Putting Them Up “For 50 weeks a year, those lights are kept somewhere else,” said McManus. “They are kept in attics and places with temperature extremes.” Because decorations are usually stored in less the ideal conditions, McManus says that decorators should inspect the decorations for damage, wear, cracks and bare spots in the wires. He said that although LED lights do not get hot, that is not the only issue with holiday lights, so even LED lights needs to be checked for safety. 2. Be Responsible with Live Trees While a live holiday tree can be a nice addition to holiday decorations, homeowners should not be careless when having one in their homes for the holidays. McManus said that trees should be kept away from heat sources such as fireplaces, wood stoves and radiators. He also said that trees should be consistently watered as they can dry out quickly. “A dry tree when burning releases the same heat and energy as gasoline,” said McManus. 3. Be Cautious With Candles Putting candles on a tree were once a common and With all the electric lights and candles that accompany the season, take the proper precautions to make sure dangerous holiday tradition, your holidays are safe, as well as merry and bright. which McManus says should never be done. However, while that tradition is no nitable,” said McManus, longer common, many still use candles 4. Use Proper Equipment Outdoors to decorate during the holidays and McMcManus urges everyone decorating Manus says that extreme caution should outdoors, to only use lighting and electribe taken when doing so.
