As sad as it is to admit it, we've come to the end of the Christmas Special week. It's been so much fun sharing holiday Green Tips with you, but all good things must come to an end. And instead of sharing a fun, witty, insightful holiday Green Tip with you today, I think it would be more fitting if I just talked about the magical spirit that's in the air this time of year. You see, it's not just about commercialism and pretending that the true meaning of the holidays is environmental responsibility in order to promote your blog. It's about spending time with family and-
Shoot!!! I forgot to finish my Christmas shopping!!!! Outta my way!! I need to get to Wal-Mart!
Say, that gives me an idea for a Green Tip #60. Guys, I'm looking more at you than the women on this one. I hate to stereotype, but you know it's true. How often have you forgot to buy something for a loved one's birthday or anniversary or Christmas or bat mitzvah? Well, when you inevitably end up running out the morning of to grab the nearest thing from the shelf of the gas station down the street, you can at least pass it off a little better by following Green Tip #60.
If you don't wrap the present because you got it at the last minute, now you have the valid excuse that it saves paper! She'll never figure out you got it that day. So with this Green Tip and Green Tip #23, you should be off the hook for a really long time.
An alternative to this that was suggested to me by my brother is to wrap your presents in other presents. He suggested wrapping things like movies and games in things like shirts and coats. I say that it would be even better if you do the other way around. If you manage to stuff a shirt into a DVD case, think of all the space you'll save under the tree!
Well, before I head out to the store to finish my shopping, let me say that I hope you have a Merry Christmas and I'll see you next week where I'll be recapping some of the environmental stories of 2009!
