Welcome to your Green Christmas, where you live beautifully while doing no harm, create more joy and less waste- and have your best holiday ever.
One that doesn't include the post holiday credit card hangover or a mountain of wrapping paper in the middle of the room- but does include incredible fun memories and a deeper connection with other people.
To get you started, we’ve assembled ideas for playing and celebrating in Green Christmas fashion. Not only are these ideas fun but they are easy on your pocketbook, good for the planet and good for your heart- Happy Holidays!

If you're giving a gift of time, effort or experience, there's always that moment of wishing the recipient had something to open.
Don't be boring! Honor your self by presenting your time gift in really lovely way- this will be part of it being memorable.
Some suggestions:
- Use pictures and cool papers to create a memorable gift card
- Create a treasure hunt that somehow echoes the eventual gift (eg, going on a boat outing? Put a message in a bottle)
- Snuggle the "big" service gift in with some hint items (eg, some spices, if you'll be cooking a meal, or some body oil, if you're giving a massage)
- Find a cool container and deck it out
- Make a clay figure to hold it
- Bake it on a giant sugar cookie
- Use iron on letters and blank tote bags to create a themed carry around, and put your gift certificate inside
- Use poetic or literary license to introduce the gift
- Create a performance to give the gift (example: if you're teaching cheerleading, make up a cheer to tell them what your gift is, if you'll be a cabaret singer at one of their dinners, present your gift in cabaret song form)
- Use children's blocks or those little plastic toy letters or old scrabble letters from a thrift store and spell it out
- Make a video
- Have it delivered by someone else, like a singing telegram
- Make a jigsaw puzzle from cardboard (or wood, if you're the woodshop type)- Just glue the picture onto a heavier substrata, cut it up, jumble it about, and put it in an envelope
Connect to the theme.
Make the presentation a keepsake,
Have fun!!!
