Things to do this seasonal holiday.

Instead of sending out loads of Yule/ Xmas cards this year and giving the post office more money, how about donating the price of the card and postage to charity. I have asked friends not to send me cards but to buy something for the food bank or donate the money to a favourite charity.
You could support so many who cannot even afford to think about sending cards  Lets all do this and make a difference this Holiday Season

Maybe encourage children to do the same.
give them the money so they can put the money into a local charity box.

Though many charities make money from selling cards, think to yourself i am still giving them money but at least this way there is no rubbish at the end.

Other things I do
I never buy anything with more packaging than the item needs.
Plus you need a chainsaw to get into them.

Charity shops do the most wonderful toys for young children, they wont care where it comes from plus when they get bored you can donate it back.

In truth they would be just as happy with an empty box.

I do not buy a tree. especially in November, what is that all about?.
A lady once said that she does have to buy one in November and one in December because her child wants it.
It is called saying NO.

The magic of the season goes when you cannot say no to a child.

When buying food only buy what you want to eat, you will find yourself stuck with duck in orange pate and winter chutney because some distant uncle you never see the rest of the year likes it.
Dont do it. when he goes you are stuck with it and you will put it in the back of the cupboard only to throw it out later.
Thus wasting and causing more rubbish.

Little things like this will made the world a better place.

listen to Aunty Stormy she knows all.

(well most of the time)
