Overall, I have to say this has been a pretty great year for Green Your Decor, as well as for me and my family. So I just wanted to take time out this holiday season to wish all my wonderful, loyal readers a Merry Green Christmas. More than any material thing you can give or receive, the most important part of the season is sharing love with everyone around you. So here’s a little bit of mine 
And remember, recycle all that wrapping paper and packaging, eat and drink with reusable plates and cups, and unplug the lights before you go to bed I couldn’t resist leaving you a few green holiday tips!

One of my favorite parts of the holidays is getting to put up a Christmas tree. This year has been particularly special because not only do we have a real tree: We got to select it and cut it down ourselves from a local tree farm. I wanted to see what everyone else was doing for their tree decor, particularly for those people who opted for a real tree or a tree alternative. Here are some of my favorite submissions and found photos:

Last winter, I went all out and published my Dreaming of a Green Christmas series, which was extremely detailed and well-received. Instead of rehashing all that information, I just want to point you in the direction of those archived posts and the very helpful comments that they received, since the information presented in them is still relevant and accurate. I love all the information that was added by the readers that I didn’t think of when I was writing the series. I also have some new resources that I’ll present here to help you in greening your holiday season.

This year — our first under our own roof in a long time — we insisted on having a real Christmas tree. But not just ANY real tree. We wanted a tree from a local farm. One that we knew would replant all the trees that were cut down. One that is a whole lot more sustainable and responsible than an artificial tree. On the way to take my daughter to preschool about a week ago, I spied a sign for a farm not far from home. So on Saturday afternoon, we headed out there with high hopes that we’d find the perfect tree. We were not disappointed!
