Holiday Decorations from the Garden

For those of us celebrating Christmas, the big day is already here! If you are still a bit short on decorations, and want to spruce up the house a bit for company, why not check the garden and see if there is any greenery or other items you can use?

This quick video gives a great demonstration of a few truly lovely holiday decoration ideas using materials right from your own garden - even in the dead of winter!  Rather than having to brave the hustle & bustle of holiday shoppers, why not save some cash and create a few decorations yourself, grown in your own backyard! (Or give the kids something to do for an hour or so - they'll have fun, and stay out of your hair during the holiday preparations...)

Enjoy, and Merry Christmas from all of us at New Holistic Living!
