     Christmas is a season to spread joy and laughter. But will it not be wonderful to spread this joy by
caring a little more about nature and going green? It's not a bad idea to do your bit and contribute in your
own small ways to saving nature and all the natural resources. Here are some tips which will help you sort
out a few ideas for a green Christmas.
     Reduce the use of the lights which are used to decorate your homes. Make use of the eco-friendly lights available on the market that use less energy. These lights use minimum energy and you end up having less
wastage of electricity.
     Reuse the wrapping paper from previous years to wrap the gifts. You don't need to buy new wrapping
paper every year. Also try using the same baubles (小玩意) and trinkets (小装饰品) for decorating your Christmas tree. Handmade or homemade baubles are the best way and these also add a personal touch
to your Christmas tree.
     Recycle all those trinkets that you cannot use anymore. Sending out Christmas cards made from
recycled paper is a thoughtful way of going green for Christmas. There are many charities which sell these
cards made from recycled paper. Make use of these green Christmas ideas, and spread the message of
going green to your near and dear ones.
     These are the 3 R's for green Christmas ideas. In addition, green Christmas gifts are a way of spreading
the message of what you believe in. A gift is indeed an ideal way.
     Make your own gifts. If you think you have a skill, use it. Instead of going to shops and buying presents
for your family and friends, you can make your own Christmas gifts at home and give them away. For
example, you can make gifts for Christmas at home such as homemade Christmas cookies and chocolates,
handmade soaps, soft toys, homemade candles, different types of cakes baked at home, etc.
     If you have no time to make these gifts, think of other thoughtful ways of going green for Christmas.
You can invite your family and friends over for a home cooked meal and prepare the dishes they enjoy
best.   Your family and friends can even assist you in planning the menu and cooking the meal together.
This can help make your relationship stronger.
     Use these green Christmas ideas and celebrate an eco-friendly Christmas. Whoever knows your
friends and relatives may follow in your footsteps and contribute their share towards protecting the
environment.

I was doing a big clean-up and my kids were helping. One of my sons came across a handkerchief of mine with a coin inside. I took one look and was immediately to another time．

In 1991，I had spent five months in Viger(尼日尔)，a hot African country. There were many things I found about this place—the climate and beggars who shouted “Cadeau! Cadeau!” It means gift．

One was a lot worse．One day，a friend and I headed for neighboring Burkina Faso to work in a health clinic．However，a motorbike with two men slowly．Without warning，one of the men my backpack as the motorbike swept close by．The bag had my passport，money，an airline ticket and other things precious to me．I was in deep ．In the weeks that followed I looked at all with suspicion.

All I wanted was to leave this place．One day，I was stopped by an old woman “Cadeau!” she cried. I’d had enough! I was sick and tired of the country．I told her firmly，“A thief stole all my money and now I can’t get off your country.” The beggar woman listened carefully and my words．

“Then I will give you a cadeau,” she announced．Kindly，she placed an old brown coin in my palm. I looked at it ．Living in poverty，she gave me something priceless! I saw then the beauty of the people of Burkina Faso and deeply the quiet dignity of the small coin；she turned my perceptions upside down．
