Speaker 1: holidays coming, and we're going to dive in head first
Speaker 1: when we come back with getting ahead of you know
Speaker 1: what I want to do when we come back. I
Speaker 1: want to talk about Christmas trees because you're going to
Speaker 1: be making some decisions this year. This week, many of
Speaker 1: you about a Christmas tree. Let's have a discussion about
Speaker 1: getting you on the inside, the inside scoop on what's
Speaker 1: going on with Christmas trees, especially if you're going to
Speaker 1: buy a living tree and or I should say, a
Speaker 1: real tree. They're all real. Some grew and some were manufactured,
Speaker 1: but they're all real. They're not illusions. But Christmas trees.
Speaker 1: That's the weirdest, most wonderful thing that we do to
Speaker 1: our home every year. We'll talk about it. Spoop sharp
Speaker 1: the house with for Hey, whether your home is a
Speaker 1: condo or a cottage or a castle, I am here
Speaker 1: to help you take it to the next level. That's
Speaker 1: what we are all about here. It is a sleepy
Speaker 1: cloud dark, cold, cool at least Saturday morning here in
Speaker 1: southern California. And I am glad you are with me.
Speaker 1: I'm glad we are here, sitting here talking about your
Speaker 1: home together. We're gonna also be going to the phones.
Speaker 1: I would love to take some calls today. It's up
Speaker 1: to you, though, It's totally up to you. I'll just
Speaker 1: keep yacking unless you give me a call. The phone
Speaker 1: lines are open, and the number to reach me eight
Speaker 1: three to three. Two. Ask Dean, eight three to three,
Speaker 1: the numeral two, ask Dean. It's just early. Yeah, we've
Speaker 1: got a couple of calls on the board. I'd love
Speaker 1: to have more, though. All right, let's talk about getting
Speaker 1: ahead of the holidays. What did I say. I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, Oh, yeah, Christmas trees. Christmas trees are well,
Speaker 1: you know, dragging a tree into your house. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you knew. This not a normal thing, not
Speaker 1: not something we do every week, every month, but it
Speaker 1: is something that we do quite often every year. Right,
Speaker 1: Bringing evergreen branches and logs into homes is a midwinter
Speaker 1: tradition much much older than Christmas. I'm using my air
Speaker 1: quotes here Christmas the name of that particular holiday celebration.
Speaker 1: It's older than Christmas itself. Evergreen trees have been symbols
Speaker 1: of hope and life through the darkest, coldest days of
Speaker 1: winter for thousands upon thousands of years. And there are
Speaker 1: some reasons why I think it's a really really special tradition.
Speaker 1: I mean, it really is. I'm gonna have more to
Speaker 1: say about this on tomorrow's Holiday show, but it is
Speaker 1: just a really special tradition. Also a tradition that nobody needs,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, to feel guilty about in terms of like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're just cutting down the forests of the world. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: for quite a while now, for quite a long, long while. Now,
Speaker 1: Christmas trees that you go and get it a Christmas
Speaker 1: tree lot, they are an agricultural product. Are you aware
Speaker 1: of that? I just want to make you aware. Christmas
Speaker 1: trees are an agricultural product. It means that the tree
Speaker 1: that you bought is really no different than you know,
Speaker 1: except for the price, than you know buying lettuce or carrots,
Speaker 1: because they are grown on a tree farm specifically for
Speaker 1: the purpose of being harvested and being used in Yule
Speaker 1: Tide celebrations. And so we are not clear cutting forests,
Speaker 1: old growth forests in order to bring your Christmas tree
Speaker 1: to you. They are simply grown on a farm, and
Speaker 1: that's a good thing as well. In fact, the argument
Speaker 1: can be made and is made, and I will I'll
Speaker 1: give you some facts on this in just a second
Speaker 1: that you know that it's a good thing that it
Speaker 1: It helps, it helps carbon capture, it helps all the
Speaker 1: things that good agriculture is capable of doing. Christmas trees remain,
Speaker 1: i think, still the centerpiece of the holiday season. You
Speaker 1: might think that an increasingly secular and multicultural America, the
Speaker 1: Christmas tree would be fading in popularity, but reality is
Speaker 1: just the opposite. Christmas trees are going to be found
Speaker 1: this year, and roughly, if we hold true to current statistics,
Speaker 1: are going to be found in over seventy two percent
Speaker 1: of American households of every ethnicity, both religious and non
Speaker 1: religious alike. It is a tradition which transcends boundaries. That's
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I love it so much. Perhaps
Speaker 1: because a tree enables it to speak, and just the
Speaker 1: fact that it is a tree enables it to speak
Speaker 1: to all of us. Trees do on a deeper more
Speaker 1: universally human level than just one particular religious story of
Speaker 1: this time of year or another. Whatever the source of
Speaker 1: its magic, the Christmas Tree in America has grown to
Speaker 1: become a kind of I don't know, I think a scaffolding.
Speaker 1: You call it that, for expressing our most cherished ideals,
Speaker 1: celebrating our most beloved relationships, and doing it I think
Speaker 1: most importantly in the darkest of days. Se fun facts
Speaker 1: on the Christmas Tree one hundred let's see that, where's
Speaker 1: my nose? Ere twenty one million real trees and about
Speaker 1: thirteen million artificial trees are going to be purchased by
Speaker 1: US households this Christmas season. There are one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty ish million households in the US. It's estimated this
Speaker 1: year ninety four million of them will display a Christmas tree.
Speaker 1: That is a Christmas tree. Like I said in well,
Speaker 1: you know the three quarters of the households. Seventy nine
Speaker 1: percent of people who decorate for the holidays agree that
Speaker 1: the earlier they decorate for Christmas, the more holiday spirit
Speaker 1: they experienced. Fifty five percent of households have now already
Speaker 1: decorated before Thanksgiving. And the guess what I'm raising my hand.
Speaker 1: I mean, don't be ashamed of me. If you're one
Speaker 1: of those you shouldn't decorate until after Thanksgiving. Well, listen,
Speaker 1: Tina had surgery this week. We wanted to get some
Speaker 1: things out of the way first, and so now we
Speaker 1: don't have our tree up, but we did the rest
Speaker 1: of the decorating around the house, the major you know,
Speaker 1: the lights on the house and so on and so forth.
Speaker 2: We actually have lots of trees up. They're just not real.
Speaker 1: Oh that's true. There's a tree on the front porch,
Speaker 1: there's a tree in the backyard. There's a tree. How
Speaker 1: many trees do we have.
Speaker 2: We have a tree in the garden room, a tree
Speaker 2: in the guest house.
Speaker 1: So I think four four up currently right now.
Speaker 3: Those are artificial trees, Yeah, artificial decorative fun outdoor.
Speaker 1: But the real tree is coming. The real tree is
Speaker 1: on its way, very excitedly. That's always the centerpiece of stuff. Christmas.
Speaker 1: Trees are roughly a two billion dollar industry in the US.
Speaker 1: That's split about fifty to fifty I think, let me
Speaker 1: check this little yep, about fifty to fifty between real
Speaker 1: and artificial trees. Real trees are grown on over fifteen
Speaker 1: thousand farms covering three hundred and fifty thousand acres in
Speaker 1: the United States and employing an industry of over one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand people. And according to independent environmental impact studies,
Speaker 1: here's here you go. An artificial tree needs to be
Speaker 1: used for at least nine to ten years before it
Speaker 1: becomes more environmentally friendly than having eight years of real trees,
Speaker 1: because you know, on artificial trees manufactured and a carbon offset,
Speaker 1: all of that kind of stuff, shipping and all of that.
Speaker 1: Real trees, by the way, they are as safe as
Speaker 1: artificial trees. Here's the truth. Point zero zero one percent.
Speaker 1: Point zero zero one percent of real Christmas trees catch
Speaker 1: fire every year these days. That's about two hundred trees
Speaker 1: for every twenty million trees sold. So there you go.
Speaker 1: There's your stats on your Christmas trees. Now, when we
Speaker 1: come back, let's talk about the biggest tree decisions and
Speaker 1: whether you're even aware of how you're making that decision
Speaker 1: and how it's going to affect the vibe of the
Speaker 1: tree inside your house. There are two big tree decisions
Speaker 1: to make. We'll discuss them. You're listening to Home with
Speaker 1: Dean Sharp on demand from KFI AM six forty can't
Speaker 1: bye AM six forty live streaming and HD everywhere on
Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio app. Dean Sharp the House whisper here
Speaker 1: for you this morning. We're talking about getting ahead of
Speaker 1: the holidays because they're here. I mean we are ahead
Speaker 1: of them technically right now, just by what a few days,
Speaker 1: because Thursday is Thanksgiving, and then after that you're not
Speaker 1: ahead of them, you're in them. So and I'm specifically
Speaker 1: right now at least we're talking about Christmas trees now.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow Tomorrow is our big Holiday home show live audience
Speaker 1: right here at the iHeart Studios in Burbank in the
Speaker 1: helpful Honda Lounge. It's going to be a great time
Speaker 1: as always. And our good friends at ol Home, who
Speaker 1: just happened to be the most beautiful store in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles and this time of year, just jaw droppingly stunning
Speaker 1: store for Christmas decor of all sorts. Our good friends
Speaker 1: at Aldick have our sponsoring tomorrow's show and they're providing
Speaker 1: a seven and a half foot beautiful ah gold Christmas
Speaker 1: tree that they're going to be decorating live on stage
Speaker 1: with us at the show tomorrow. And then one of
Speaker 1: those lucky audience members are going to take that tree home.
Speaker 1: So that's when it comes to an artificial tree. The
Speaker 1: fact that, like I said before the break, that it
Speaker 1: takes nine plus years for the use of a single
Speaker 1: artificial tree to level out, its like its environmental impact
Speaker 1: with getting live, fresh trees every year, because those are
Speaker 1: far healthier, you know, on a yearly basis. But if
Speaker 1: you hold on to it long enough, then you could
Speaker 1: be you know, ultimately saving uh and uh and doing
Speaker 1: you know, a better thing environmentally for the planet if
Speaker 1: you hold onto it long enough. But you got to
Speaker 1: hold on to it for at least a decade just
Speaker 1: to break even. And that's why I'm always pushing you
Speaker 1: toward Aldacombe because they literally have the most gorgeous artificial trees.
Speaker 1: So uh, they're they're beautiful, they're designed perfectly and uh
Speaker 1: and they're they're just the best. So that's something that
Speaker 1: we'll talk a little bit but more about tomorrow on
Speaker 1: the artificial side of things. But today, Uh, if you're
Speaker 1: like me and the you heard Tina say earlier that
Speaker 1: you know, we have a few artificial trees around on
Speaker 1: the property just because it's fun. It's fun to have one.
Speaker 1: We like, we've got a lit tree, uh in sitting
Speaker 1: in the backyard, so you know, like when we're outside
Speaker 1: by the fire pit and stuff. There it is. We
Speaker 1: got a goofy kind of cartoon tree out on the
Speaker 1: front deck, and then these little pencil trees you know
Speaker 1: that go in little rooms like the guest house or
Speaker 1: the garden room whatever. And our real tree is coming.
Speaker 1: But we always buy. Always. I grew up in a
Speaker 1: family that just had zero Christmas spirit whatsoever, pretty much,
Speaker 1: and we always had a really bad artificial tree, and
Speaker 1: I couldn't wait to get out on my own and
Speaker 1: have real trees. And so we do that. Tina feels
Speaker 1: the same way, and so the real tree is coming,
Speaker 1: and today we're just talking a little bit about them.
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing when it comes down to the
Speaker 1: biggest decisions you have to make for a real tree,
Speaker 1: if you're an informed real tree connoisseur, then you've got
Speaker 1: really two big decisions to make. Fragrance versus endurance, and
Speaker 1: the second decision thicker structure and open tiers versus thinner
Speaker 1: branches but fuller body. Hmmm. So what's the decision there
Speaker 1: between the two Because you've got different species of trees,
Speaker 1: so let's talk about fragrance versus endurance on a tree. Okay,
Speaker 1: here is the secret you need to know. I'm surprised
Speaker 1: not more people understand this. But we talk about two
Speaker 1: things that we want out of a real tree when
Speaker 1: we bring it into our home. One, we want it
Speaker 1: to last. We don't want it to dry out and
Speaker 1: start dropping needles mid December, right, So you don't want
Speaker 1: it to dry out, so it's got to last. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, we also we really want it
Speaker 1: to just just become a beautiful aroma inside the house.
Speaker 1: I mean, ideally that's what you one that lasts through
Speaker 1: New Years and is just you know, perfuming the inside
Speaker 1: of the house with a beautiful scent of pine or fur.
Speaker 1: That would be the ideal tree. Unfortunately, you usually don't
Speaker 1: get both. And here's why. It's simple science, ready science.
Speaker 1: The reason you can smell a Christmas tree inside your
Speaker 1: home is that it's losing moisture. It's giving moisture to
Speaker 1: the air, and therefore it's the resins inside it are
Speaker 1: being kind of ejected into the air and therefore perfuming
Speaker 1: the air. In other words, the Christmas trees that are
Speaker 1: most fragrant are the ones that dry out the fastest
Speaker 1: because they're losing moisture. Then there are other species of
Speaker 1: trees that will easily without question. They've got thick waxy
Speaker 1: needles right, and you get them home and they will
Speaker 1: stay beautiful with minimal amount of maintenance all through the
Speaker 1: month of December and the second part of November. But
Speaker 1: they're not as fragrant. And the simple reason is that
Speaker 1: that thick waxy needle is hanging on to its own moisture.
Speaker 1: It's not drying out, but it's also not sharing itself
Speaker 1: with the air around it. So the first big question
Speaker 1: is do we want a fragrant tree that we're going
Speaker 1: to have to kind of baby as we go, just
Speaker 1: keep keep keep her, keep her moist as possible. Or
Speaker 1: do we want a tree that's going to just endure
Speaker 1: that's going to look the same on you know, the
Speaker 1: day after Christmas or New Year's Day. If you keep
Speaker 1: them that long, it'll look the same then and as
Speaker 1: as it does in the lot, you know, when you
Speaker 1: pick it up this week. So those species that are
Speaker 1: one or the other, these are the things that that
Speaker 1: we've got to decide. So we'll talk about those species
Speaker 1: when we come back. And then the other question of
Speaker 1: how you want to decorate the tree, whether you want
Speaker 1: a full, full structure to it or whether you want
Speaker 1: some openness and room for some big ornamentation. Everybody's decided
Speaker 1: divided on this. There's no right or wrong decision. I
Speaker 1: just want you to be informed so that you can
Speaker 1: plan your Christmas tree to tree de core appropriately makes sense?
Speaker 1: All right? More if I am six forty live streaming
Speaker 1: and HD everywhere on the iHeart radio app, Dean sharp
Speaker 1: the house whisper. Hey, we're going to be going to
Speaker 1: the phones right after this bit, so here's the number
Speaker 1: to reach me. It's a bit yeah, eight three three
Speaker 1: two ask Dean. Eight three three the numeral to ask
Speaker 1: Dean eight three three two ask Dean. It's just that
Speaker 1: easy to ask Dean. We will be going to the
Speaker 1: phones right after our next break, so hey, give me
Speaker 1: a call. I'll spend as much time on the phone
Speaker 1: today as we've got callers to spend time with. How
Speaker 1: about that as a deal. So now is a great
Speaker 1: time to call and we'll figure out what's going on
Speaker 1: with your home. Anything you want to talk about, design, construction, DIY,
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. Whatever's got you scratching your
Speaker 1: head about your home all right back to Christmas trees.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a shocker for a lot of people.
Speaker 1: They don't realize nobody's ever explained to them that the
Speaker 1: difference between a tree that gives off a beautiful fragrance
Speaker 1: and a tree that does not is usually the difference
Speaker 1: between a tree that is drying out because it's losing sap.
Speaker 1: It's those resinous compounds that actually make that beautiful smell.
Speaker 1: It's losing moisture versus a tree that doesn't smell so
Speaker 1: much is holding on to its moisture and therefore enduring.
Speaker 1: So it doesn't mean that there's no fragrance whatsoever from
Speaker 1: a tree that's holding on to its moisture. It's just
Speaker 1: that the fact of the matter is there's quite a
Speaker 1: bit less. And so you've got to make a decision
Speaker 1: when it comes to a tree species, and you can tell.
Speaker 1: You don't have to, you know, take a botanist with
Speaker 1: you or an arborist with you when you go to
Speaker 1: the tree lot. You can tell. And the general reality
Speaker 1: is that the thinner the needles on a tree, generally speaking,
Speaker 1: and the thinner more flexible and fuller the branches, the
Speaker 1: more of that tree will be one that gives off moisture.
Speaker 1: It loses its moisture. The thicker the branches and the
Speaker 1: thicker waxier needles like noble furs, those kinds of trees,
Speaker 1: those are going to hold on to their own moisture
Speaker 1: longer and therefore be easier to last through the entire
Speaker 1: month without getting dry. The other question, though, of course,
Speaker 1: is decor on the tree. And you know, a lot
Speaker 1: of people it's sort of counterintuitive for them because they
Speaker 1: go looking for the fullest, fullest, packed full of branches
Speaker 1: Christmas tree possible and that's Hey, if that's your vibe, great,
Speaker 1: go for it. But if you just it's be good
Speaker 1: to have a game plan as to how you want
Speaker 1: to decorate a tree. And there are two, you know,
Speaker 1: schools of thought here. One is, well, let's just do
Speaker 1: a minimal, small surface decoration, so I small ornaments and
Speaker 1: garland on the outside of the tree. If that's your plan,
Speaker 1: then sure a cone, beautiful cone shaped very very thick,
Speaker 1: can't see through it to the other side. Tree like
Speaker 1: a Douglas fur, which has been for my whole child
Speaker 1: growing up here in southern California. The Douglas fir was
Speaker 1: the king of all Christmas trees sold here by clearly
Speaker 1: the most popular. And then you're on the other side
Speaker 1: of the coin. You've got the the nobles grand furs, spruces,
Speaker 1: those kinds of trees. Spruce is not so easy to
Speaker 1: find in SOCW but fur trees definitely noble furs. Those
Speaker 1: have very definitive of tiers of their branches and more
Speaker 1: space through and so when you're looking at them at
Speaker 1: a tree lot, you're like, God, I don't know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I want a full tree. But if your plan though,
Speaker 1: is large ornaments and all, you know, those tiers provide
Speaker 1: the perfect hanging space for lots of beautiful ornamentation in
Speaker 1: between tiers of branches. So the point is, have a
Speaker 1: game plan as to how you want to decorate a tree,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be beautiful either way. It's just if
Speaker 1: you've got really big ornaments. It's hard to shove larger
Speaker 1: ornaments onto a tree that's just full of branches, just
Speaker 1: everywhere that's full, full, full, because you're literally going to
Speaker 1: be shoving them into that thickness of branches. And so
Speaker 1: the larger the ornaments in general, or the more ornaments
Speaker 1: in general, then the better off you are to have
Speaker 1: a tree that's got a little bit more air space
Speaker 1: in between the branches as you go. So the the
Speaker 1: trees that are available here that you can cut yourself,
Speaker 1: that's a whole nother thing. Tree lots here in Southern
Speaker 1: California that are literally they're usually in open spaces, like
Speaker 1: underneath power lines, power company easements. That's where those tree
Speaker 1: farms are that are growing their own trees here in
Speaker 1: southern California. You're only gonna find like Monterey and Aleppo pines,
Speaker 1: long bright green needles, and those are beautiful trees, but
Speaker 1: just know that that's the kind of tree that grows
Speaker 1: easiest and best here in Southern California. And then there's
Speaker 1: the Christmas tree. And I put this in air quotes
Speaker 1: because it's not really it's not a pine tree, and
Speaker 1: that would be cypress bushes which Arizona or Leland cypress
Speaker 1: that have been shaped into Christmas tree shapes, no sap on.
Speaker 1: Those great for people with allergies. And then you've got
Speaker 1: things that grow here in Southern California which are very
Speaker 1: very unusual to cut down, which are like coastal redwoods
Speaker 1: and things like that, and small ones, obviously the small ones.
Speaker 1: And then in the pre cut department Douglas fir, full
Speaker 1: and straight noble fur it can get wide at the base.
Speaker 1: Grand fur is kind of a midpoint between noble and
Speaker 1: Douglas silver. Underneath the needles, I just lost my notes.
Speaker 1: They just literally disappeared. From there we are the Frasier fur,
Speaker 1: very blue green. It tends toward being a little bit slender,
Speaker 1: and my personal favorite and by the way, Europe, Europe's
Speaker 1: preferred tree, the Nordman. It lasts, it lasts and lasts,
Speaker 1: and Latin very very minimal fragrance, but a beautiful, just gorgeous,
Speaker 1: quintessential Christmas tree that lasts and lasts and last, the
Speaker 1: Nordman fur. And more lots have those now than ever.
Speaker 1: All Right, when we return, we're gonna go to the
Speaker 1: phones your Home with Dean Sharp the House Whisper on KFI.
