In our world, Santa is a raging greenie. The North Pole is powered by solar, the elves are clothed in Fair trade, linen outfits, they are paid a living wage and given plenty of holidays and perks, plus, Dasher, Dancer, and even Rudolph are fed organic pellets that Santa scooped himself from the local bulk bin store. Can you picture it too?
Although we imagine Santaās eco-lifestyle may not be perfect (perhaps he forgets to say āNO STRAW PLEASEā every once in a while) weāre certain heās thinking green this year. We can feel it in the air.
Hereās what we expect to find under the tree this year; weāre taking notes and learning a thing or two from Santa too!
The first thing you grab on Christmas morning: your stocking. You wonāt find the usual plastic coated candy, $2 shop toys, fizzy drink, or plastic toothbrushes.
Once youāve moved on from the best stocking youāve ever laid eyes on, you may be surprised toĀ findĀ the presents are wrapped differently to last year. TheĀ gifts look beautiful, and itās obvious all the wrapping paper and gift bags can be recycled or reused.
Weāve established Santa is an expert when it comes to eco-stocking fillers and wrapping presents, but how does that explain the lack of presents under the tree? Theyāre smaller than usual, and there are several more cardsā¦ Santa, explain yourself!
Gifting presence, rather than presents, is Santaās focus this year. He knows gifts of more āstuffā donāt make you happy for longer than one day. Experiences, and quality time with the people you love, are what Santa has identified is the best way to give you joy this year.
We donāt mean to spoil the surprise, but hereās a few guesses on what will be under your tree:
Santa loves the feeling of giving back, and he knows that we get a kick out of it too. Those little envelopes under your tree may also contain:
This year, take a few tips from the man in the red (ethically made) hat. Heās on the right track to reducing our rubbish during this āsilly seasonā, and making sure weĀ spend time with the people we love.
This year, make your cookies with locally sourced ingredients and bulk bin store chocolate chips. Ensure your Christmas tree lights are solar powered to impress him, plus we've heard that Rudolph likes his carrots organic, and Santa only drinks nut milk.
