Quick Tip: Don’t eat the decorations
It’s festive to use sweets, candied fruits, nuts, cheese balls and other condiments to decorate the house but do something different this year.
Instead use scented sachets, pine cones and primitive crafts that are inedible. The same goes for gift giving. Instead of sweets and chocolate give your friends an arrangement of dried flowers, a simple pine cone wreath or a framed picture and encourage them to do the same for you.
