Choosing to do less around the holidays does not mean you don’t have any holiday spirit, it just means you are simplifying the things you already would be planning for. Changing how we approach the holidays could include skipping the new Christmas nick-nacks or portioning meals more appropriately at your family dinner. It could also mean cutting down on our Christmas consumption rate, using what we already have, and making sustainable choices for activities we do choose to engage in, buy, or make ourselves.
