Getting the Christmas Tree

Well, Christmas is round the corner but with all the financial doom and gloom in the news it can be hard to imagine a "splendid" Christmas. Times like these creativity really comes into play. Here are a few ways people are battling the recession at Christmas time.

For those who really want to "go green" why not make a glass tree? Instead of going and cutting down a tree that would help provide oxygen, go walk around the neighborhood and collect bottles. Not only are you helping the environment it would also count as community service. Win-win all around I say.


Now, I understand that part of the joy of having a real tree is that "Christmas" smell that goes along with it. Here is a simple, cheap solution. You get that pine aroma and the tree shape. Personally I think its genius.

No matter what your Christmas tree looks like, or smells like, try not to forget that Christmas has nothing to do with trees, gifts, or even food. Its all in the word. CHRISTmas.
