The greening of Christmas

Sunday evening our Sacramento grandchildren put together and decorated a gingerbread house that we had given them.  (Actually we had given each of our children's family a kit and had expected them to decorate them together at our Thanksgiving time but there just wasn't time.)  I'll post a couple pictures of the house that Tiffany and her boys did later in this blog.

But first I wanted to comment on the information posted on the bottom of the box in which the gingerbreade kit came in.  Rather inabtriusively (printed on the bottom of the box) the company which made the box indicated that it had saved dozens of  trees, acre-feet of water, and other energy production. I'm not much of an environmentalist but I think it can't hurt if we all raise our consciousness about the effect of industrial production such as this box.

Here are a couple of shots of the house decorating.
