Presents in the Spirit of the SeasonDon't think you can't give presents, most of us have enough to pass on to share in the spirit of the season.

A Natural Growing TreeThis year, instead of getting a big cut Christmas tree, my family bought a small one in a pot. This way, we can put it out into the garden for the rest of the year and keep it for several years to come. It's a nice idea if you prefer a real tree to an artificial one, but don't want to have to buy one every year.
