After Thanksgiving week, our neighborhoods get filled with colorful lights, Christmas trees, reindeers, and Santas. It sure looks nice, but we also have to think about the energy being used and the trees that are being cut down. I believe we can always create balance, and here are some greener alternatives for your Christmas decorations. First, you can buy low energy Christmas lights instead of the regular lights. Secondly, you can reuse your decorations from previous years. Third, instead of buying a natural Christmas tree you can buy an artificial tree that can be reused for the following years. Finally, remember to recycle. Using recycled things for your decorations is a great idea. My mom made a Christmas wreath once out of corn husk. I also remember in kindergarten we made piñatas out of newspaper. It just takes a little of imagination.
