| Recycling Poinsettias
|
|
The holidays are all done and the pretty poinsettias are put away. My church had decorated the stage area with these beautiful 3 foot high poinsettias. I called my church to ask what they were going to do with them after the celebrations were over.

| Save Money With Email Christmas Cards

|
Last year I decided that I couldn't send Christmas cards to everyone on my list so here is what I did: Everyone who is on my email list received an email Christmas card which I decorated with "free" clip art from the web and my own Christmas greeting.

| This Year, Recycle Christmas (Update)
|
 A few months ago, I shared a tip, "This Year, Recycle Christmas". My family, all six kids, spouses, grandchildren and friends agreed, since many of them had had income setbacks this year. The idea was that nothing was to be bought new.

This is so easy to make and is a nutritious snack to eat at any time. It's a favorite, especially at Christmas time.Melt 12 oz. almond bark. Pour over mixture. Scoop on wax paper to cool. Break into bite-size pieces.

| Putting Away My Artificial Christmas Tree
|
|
When I take down my artificial Christmas tree, I put the top of the tree in the bottom of the box, gather each layer of tree branches together and lay them in order as I take them down. A newspaper can be laid between the layers to separate them.

| Recycle Christmas Trees for Garden Supports
|
|
To further recycle your Christmas Tree (after giving it to the birds, of course!) is to use it in your garden during the growing season. In past years I've used mine for supports for green beans or morning glories.

|
Just after Thanksgiving I start making my Christmas cookies. Each weekend I'll make a triple batch of one type of cookie. I'll scoop the cookies onto wax paper lined cookie sheets and cover with foil.

None of us need that Christmas candy that's on sale dirt cheap after Christmas, but be creative and think about the possible uses for it.
