an environmentally friendly xmas?

[nappyaddict]

so those of you who are bit lentilly and into saving the earth, do you put lights up on your tree? and do you have christmas crackers and party poppers?

Lights on tree - yes
(Artificial tree though, now in its tenth year!)
Crackers - no
Party poppers - no
I don't send Christmas cards either, except a very few, and send a Christmas letter by email if I can do it

artificial tree. No lights but thats mainly cos DH thinks they are a safety hazard and also we are usually away over xmas itself - we wouldn't leave fairy lights on and leaving them off would make it pretty clear we were not at home.

MIL buys crackers.

Sounds lovely hurdicure! I'm trying to think of a way of reducing the wrapping paper atm but may have to just accept that one I think

what about paper chains?
