"Tickets to a garden tour or a subscription to a great magazine or a membership with the R.I. Wild Plant Society. An invitation to share a weekend in New York to see the botanical gardens with a few friends. An offer to sharpen and clean garden tools. Bird seed in a nice container."

Times are a bit tougher than that, sweety. Grab the crossbow...

My gun can be green friendly as it will lower the carbon footprint of any person who breaks into my house.

*Twas the month before Christmas*

*When all through our land,*

*Not a Christian was praying*

*Nor taking a stand.*

*See the PC Police had taken away,*

*The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*

*The children were told by their schools not to sing,*

*About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*

*It might hurt people’s feelings, the teachers would say*

* December 25th is just a ‘ Holiday ‘.*

*Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*

*Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*

*CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*

*Something was changing, something quite odd! *

*Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*

*In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*

*As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*

* At Lowe’s the word Christmas - was no where to be found.*

*At K-Mart and Staples and Penny’s and Sears*

*You won’t hear the word Christmas; it won’t touch your ears.*

*Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*

*Are words that were used to intimidate me.*

*Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*

*On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !*

*At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*

*To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*

*And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*

* Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*

*The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*

*The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*

*So as you celebrate ‘Winter Break’ under your ‘Dream Tree’*

*Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*

*Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*

*Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS ,

not Happy Holiday !*

Well, I do have some moose steak and moose mincemeat in my freezer. Maybe I’ll leave ‘em under the tree for Santa

My brother-in-law had the time to remove a buck's carbon footprint from the planet last weekend, and provided us with about fifteen pounds of venison tenderloin, deerburger, and cube steak, which we happily accepted. We've been eating especially good this week. I think a nice venison/bison meatloaf is on tap for this weekend, too.

"Christmas is the season of love, the season of giving, but sadly, it is also the season of waste," write Jennifer Basye Sander and Peter Sander in their book "Green Christmas: How to Have a Joyous, Eco-Friendly Holiday Season."

She calls it "Christmas" when she is trashing it as a season of waste. Then, changes to "Holiday Season" when it is represented as an adoringly green holiday!

What she is really saying: here is another opportunity to show how adorable I am. I care! It's all about me!

"My brother and I re-enacted one of her favorite childhood pictures of us, as adults. We went to the same spot in the Whaling Museum, between the jaw bones, dressed in outfits that were similar to what we wore then, wool jacket, velvet collar, and had it nicely framed."

How is this "green"? They had to drive somewhere to shop for the clothes (or order them online, generating exhaust from a delivery vehicle), drive to the museum, drive home, chemicals used in the photo development, drive to the framer at least twice, etc., etc.

It's a sweet idea, though.

Intend to have an armed nature walk this afternoon in hopes of obtaining a wild oinker to manipulate into pan sausage. Could not be any greener than that.
