Eco-Friendly Christmas: Sustainable Celebrations and Gift Ideas

Christmas is a time for joy, family, and giving. But it can also be a time for excess waste. From wrapping paper to decorations, Christmas traditions can take a toll on the environment. This year, why not make a commitment to a more eco-friendly Christmas? By making a few simple changes, we can all celebrate the holidays without harming the planet. Here are some eco-friendly Christmas gift…

I wrapped some stocking stuffers for my parental and I had gotten some brown paper to wrap them in cuz I’m trying to be a bit more sustainable and make my own(also im a cottagecore/hobbit/stardew valley gorlie and im trying to romanticize my life) and I had gotten some stamps and ink pads. Suffice to say the ink I picked wasn’t the best for this paper so I decided to use paint instead

Dude

It was fun but it took FOREVER

Like, fuck man. It was really fun and I’m glad I did it cuz its a fun little christmas activity while you watch something but just be prepared

I've had this skirt since 2012 and never wore it with green, which is a crime. It's probably because I thought it was too Christmas-y, so now is the perfect time to do it.

Another medical appointment outfit because, apparently, that's the only reason I go out.

im very new to fl so i might be missing some lore things, but why is the vake yearner so desperate to obtain hearts? from my understanding, when you die, the psychopomp there is chill to let you go so long as you show him your sick chess skills. is there something else im missing?

there's one thing you're missing, yes- the vake yearner is a noman!!

in-game/in fallen london canon, nomen are a christmas-exclusive companion with a special decaying mechanic. they're always made in the image of your FLPC (essentially being a clone of them) and they will almost always die, no matter what, come the end of winter.

when your "noman's friend" quality hits zero, the noman melts, and is removed from your inventory forever. there is no way to save it. there is no way to keep it. you can only watch and wait.

there are special challenges to keep the noman alive for an unusually long time (the longest and most difficult of these being the memories of a doubled spring achievement, which requires keeping it alive until early may) but beyond easter, sustaining the noman is pretty much mathematically impossible. it requires an absurd amount of expensive items that will take multiple years of grinding to accumulate, and overall it's just not worth it in the long run.

all nomen die. that's just what they do.

...............except, well, the vake yearner is a special case. she can sustain herself- for the most part- completely independently, with no assistance required from her original self (the scoundrel) nor her makers (the scientist and the academic). additionally, and probably far more importantly, she does not melt. unlike all other nomen, she can last forever provided she has a steady supply of sorrow and blood. she was even created in the middle of summer!

...but she can last forever only if she has a steady supply of sorrow and blood. because if she does melt, well...

that's it. she's done. she's a noman. she's never going to come back. once she dies, she dies for good.

it's just how nomen are.

Happy holidays from Portia

We get our tree from a hill my mother-in-law lives on, and plan which trees to cut to promote resource distribution for the better trees way in advance. Trees that don't have any fire retardants or synthetic fragrances are okay for rabbits to nibble on in small quantities, but I'd still recommend keeping an eye out so no wires or ornaments get nibbled. (She DID completely ignore the pinecone under there for her in order to nibble on my wrapped graphic novel.)

Also, tinsel is trash imo.

hi everyone!! i know i don't usually post articles i've written on here (especially because they're often not fandom related), but with the holiday season just around the corner i wanted to share my latest article about gift wrap alternatives!

gift wrap can be a super wasteful product that gets used only once and often is not recyclable from being mixed materials (the paper is often laminated in plastic, and sometimes you'll get metallic wrapping paper too).

i'm not sharing this in hopes to gain traffic, but more to spread awareness and give people some other ideas when it comes to buying gift wrap!! please feel free to share, save for later, and tell your friends <33

White eco influencers on the internet will look you in the eye and say do not ever use giftbags and wrapping paper 😡😡 wrap your presents in some nasty ass old towels🤗🤗 people will not like that but that's the only way that doesnt hurt the planet 😇 meanwhile actual normal ppl will go like oh this gift bag? We've been using it every birthday since 2005, it still looks good. I'm buying new wrapping paper this year cause I have no pieces left from the last one I bought 4 years ago

Neither of my WIPs will update tomorrow - unless we get a huge, delayed dump of snow and work gets cancelled somehow? - in stark defiance of my promises. One of my bookshelves collapsed and I have spent the weekend building, priming, and painting its replacement. This was inevitable the minute I put myself in the position of posting multiple WIPs. One day I will learn (maybe)!

Sustainable Christmas tree

If you have a little bit of outdoor space then you can always do your own potted tree that you bring in for Christmas and take back out for the rest of the year. Here is our little London balcony one. Bought for my (then) boyfriend in 2021, repotted in June this year, brought inside today for her 3rd Christmas.

She is a blue spruce if I remember correctly.

Tips for success: start with a small tree. This one was bought as a 30cm tree and is now about 45cm

Don't keep in direct sun for most of the day in summer; it will get very stressed. Remember that in a forest setting saplings don't actually get that much light. If you want it to grow as fast as possible you could maximise sun but you'll need to water and feed extensively. She was looking a little worse for wear after last years hot hot summer but has made a good recovery and put out fresh green growth.

Keep away from heat sources indoors- our flat average temp in Dec is about 17c and she is not kept next to the radiator.

Letting weeds grow in the pot (or planting annuals) underneath will help shade the soil in summer.
