I’m dreaming of a Green Christmas…

No, that’s not right — the song is called White Christmas! But this is the Bay Area, and we don’t get snow. Also, we are among the most environmentally aware areas of the country. So here are some suggestions from the Sierra Club website and how you can be green over the holiday season. A Green Tip from the Sierra Club – “Most mass-produced wrapping paper you find in stores is not recyclable and ends up in landfills. Instead, here’s a great chance to get creative! Wrap presents with old maps, the comics section of a newspaper, or children’s artwork. Or use a scarf, attractive dishtowel, bandana, or some other useful cloth item. If every family wrapped just three gifts this way, it would save enough paper to cover 45,000 football fields.

Recipe

Give a gift of warmth this holiday! Buy inexpensive clear goodie bags from your local party store, layer in the ingredients below for hot cocoa. Tie it up with a pretty ribbon and a few candy canes. Tuck the bag into a festive mug and give it to family, friends, teachers or co-workers.
