If you haven’t put up the tree yet, here are some fantastic ideas for Christmas decorations that will make being green during holidays a breeze:

Use recycled tree ornaments-you can get them from 3RLiving. Not only are they unique and one of a kind, they also look beautiful. You can also go to Branch to find recycled Felt Bird Ornaments made from 100 % eco-certified felted wool. These ornaments will brighten your house as well as serve as gifts for family and friends.

Natural animal ornaments-these are adorable ornaments in the shape of animals that can easily be used on anything, not only the tree. They could also serve as a great gift for kids. You can find these ornaments at Smith and Hawken’s and they are made with organic dyes and Buri sugar plant fibers.

Give someone an Earth ornament-available from Gaiam, theses beautiful ornaments are hand-painted with water-based colors and non-toxic finish and arrive in a craft box.

Switch to LED holiday lights-you can still keep up the tradition of lighting the holiday lights and save both energy and your hard-earned money by switching to energy-efficient LED Christmas lights and decorations.

Put up organic wreaths-for instance a Snowflake Wreath, available at Organic Style, which is made from organic shore pine from the Pacific Northwest and Douglas pinecones.
