I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas: Gifts, Decorations, and Recipes That Use Less and Mean More is printed on 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper and features tons of great ways to make your Christmas celebrations more eco-friendly.
When I first received this book my mom and I immediately started pouring over it to see which ideas we wanted to use for our festivities this year. The book is broken up into five chapters, Nesting, Entertaining, Trimming, Giving, and Reflecting. Each section is full of great ideas with step-by-step instructions and beautiful photographs. Plus, all of the recipes give you suggestions to make your meals more "green". For example, on the Chai Hot Cocoa Recipe they recommend using Green & Black's organic fair-trade cocoa powder. I hadn't heard of that brand before, but I'm excited to try it in this delicious new recipe!
I really can't even begin to pick my favorite crafts from this amazing book, but I will most definitely be posting them here as I complete them, so keep checking back throughout the season!
***I really hate to ask for comments, and I've never done it before, but there is a contest linked to this special promotion! The blogs with the highest number of comments will receive prizes! So please, if you have an extra second, leave me a comment! Thanks so much!
