Going to love this Christmas as its going be pure Vegan. My one sister having it and i am going to bring some vegan food. She is having hers early. It small gathering this year. On Christmas i can make it full Vegan.
Decorating has commenced! The tree is up but not yet trimmed. I started with the other decorations first, though I didn't finish, getting about two-thirds of the way done. I will do the tree tomorrow and put out the carolers. I also have one more box with some random decorations somewhere in the basement. So that will be tomorrow. It's looking very festive!

Hubbub - 10 sustainable Christmas present ideas
We've got your greener and simpler Christmas covered with our 10 sustainable present ideas.
www.hubbub.org.uk
I like the following ideas; charity shops, photo frames and plants.
I just looked at Aldi ad starting next week--they have the big glass jar of olives back 
I love olives, and got this last year. An assortment of green and burgundy olives, garlic cloves, capers, pepper strips, in a well seasoned brine.
I used almost every bit, a lot of the brine used to brine other veggies, make cheese, tofu feta......
It's a beautiful jar too! I still have it... but it just sits in a cabinet
$7.99 , 32 oz

$7.99 , 32 ozAldi needs a way to check stock at different locations, you can't call. Maybe you could ask in a local group though?
I know mine had them for , maybe 3 weeks after the ad, but maybe just got a lot of stock? That's the thing, you never know with the specials! Mine has done much better getting vegan specials now than last year
I'd have sworn we had an Aldi thread already, but it come up when I searched.
I'll start one then

There are definitely more houses decorated around here than usual for this time of year. People must be trying to cheer themselves up as they are at home so much.
I think so. One of my nieces put up her tree a week before Thanksgiving.
We had this Path of Light event at my workplace where we decorated the pathways, the spring, the main hall and the gardens with lights and fires. We also made spruce branche circles and placed fires inside the circles. I was freezing and starving, even so that evening was beautiful and purifying. It was a small event between the workers, there were no outsiders for safety reasons.
I haven't done any decorations this year yet, but I have still three of the decorations that I made last year hidden away in the kitchen cabinet.
I find putting decorations on display exhausting, stressful and pointless, but learning how to make decorations is fun (and also infuriating, because I'm not good at it).
I have been thinking about making waste-free christmas decorations this year. Especially the dried citrus garland sounds amazing.

It was hauntingly beautiful. It was like descending into Manala when we first started to follow the path to the garden and cold darkess surrounded us, the lights and fires as our guides.
Mouth-watering.As a self proclaimed someone with a sweet tooth, I never really got into iced Christmas cookies or even Gingerbread but I’ve been overdosing on Hallmark Christmas movies and there are cookies in all of them. They make them look so good that now I want Gingerbread men and iced Christmas cookies! I wonder if I will actually make some. I have printed out several vegan recipes.

Happening now: Track Santa live with NORAD as he travels around the world on Christmas Eve
Nothing will stop the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) from tracking the big guy's flying sleigh — not even the COVID-19 pandemic.
