Interesting post. You forgot to mention that if you want to have a really GREEN Christmas that you shouldn’t celebrate it at all. Authentic Christmas trees, decorative lights, travels to meet family, wrapping paper, tons of food/meat…all are a drag on the environment. Next time at least suggest recycling wrapping paper, using a “fake” tree, not hanging lights or getting the more efficient led lights, carpooling or planning visits where families don’t have to travel from one side of town (or the country) to another. Just my two pennies.

A green Christmas is a cool idea. Though we can different understanding about green.
For me, A bicycle tour to countryside maybe a good choice, Because here is warm enough even in December.
Without Christmas trees, without cars, that’s a little green too!
