A "Green" Christmas? How?

Want to use a theme for your Christmas giving this year? Ask all of your family to be more "green"?

I was reading "Nora's Blog" and her family is making the effort to be greener. I am going to see if other family members are willing to try. How about wrapping paper and Christmas cards from recycled paper? Here are a few links that I was reading to get more ideas. I really like the idea of recycling!!

Green Christmas Ideas
Green Living - Low Impact Ideas & Products
Green Feet also has a Holiday Gift Giving Catalog
Ecotopia has some really neat gifts. I really like this idea for recycling bottles! Raise your glass for a toast to our future forever families!

Here's a gift I really like and will probably order for some of my "hard to find something for" friends! Woman's Day November 2007 - Present Perfect - Inspired gift ideas, from $6 to $50 nest best thing - Bambu's woven bowl trio (6"-9") is equally suited for coralling essentials like keys and gloves or serving snacks. $14 for a set of three; greenfeet.com

After experiencing our organizing Sunday, I am going to throw less in the trash and advertise on "Freecycle". What ideas do you have or have used?

(Can you tell I have been avoiding the "referral blues" and I continue to refuse to buy gifts for Alyzabeth yet until I see her picture - focusing on Christmas is a good thing!)
