How about encouraging people to avoid killing a tree or having a stick
bedecked with sparkling plastic to celebrate Christmas: Instead, select
a potted tree environmentally suited to their area and then plant it
outside after Christmas: a gift that keeps on giving and, after several
Christmases, you have a mini forest: Our Christmas Citrus from a couple
of years ago (We're in the Southern hemisphere) has decked itself with
lovely yellow baubles and the bees are twinkling amongst the fragrant
blossoms: 'Tis a reason to be jolly.

For me to call something an eco-christmas, it would have to question
the very foundations of what Christmas has become. aesthetically,
culturally & consumptively. Christmas should be as simple as being
grateful for what you have & the community one is part of. mIEKAL
