gorgeous clothes for Christmas, perhaps there are now other items in your wardrobe that you probably won't be wearing again. Similarly, some
of your gifts may have replaced older household items which still have years of use left in them. Don't just put

GREETINGS CARDS and WRAPPING PAPER
The mountain of
mail that makes up the Christmas post isn't just tough on
. the postman - ' forests suffer too. And if your
Christmas card- list includes people you haven't spoken to in 10 years, then now may well be the perfect time to consider cutting back or sending recycled cards. For those who
are computer liter ate as well as envi ronmentally aware, e-cards make a real ly great paper-free alternative to tra ditional cards, or you could always get creative and make your own. Not only is this
good for the envi ronment, it can also be a great way to keep over-excited children occupied for a couple of hours. You can rustle up

If you do decide
to buy normal wrapping paper, try wrapping your gifts really careful ly, using string instead of tape, so that the paper can be re-used. And don't forget to keep any wrapping or cards you receive for recycling.

although it's best to avoid using that sort of packing in Shredded paper is just as effective, and somehow feels much more Christ massy.
DECORATIONS Christmas can be
your chance to get in touch with your inner Blue Peter presenter as you transform old washing up liquid bottles and coat hangers into attrac tive decorations. Or if you prefer
to buy your decora tions, then invest in decent quality items that can be re-used year after year rather than flimsy, cheap alter natives th a t will have fallen to bits by New Year. Not only will this
help to protect the planet, it will also protect your pocket too in the long run. An artificial tree
will see you through countless festive seasons if it's packed away prop erly for the rest of year. Real trees may make your living

Food for thought - in control of the calories
WHAT'S the best thing about Christ mas? Spending time ivith your family^ opening presents, watching TV...or stuffing yourself silly with fabulous food that's bulging with calories? Be
honest...for many of us, food and
drink are probably top of the list of festive treats we just can't do without. Take away the telly, abandon all plans
for presents, but don't whatever you do make us miss out on our Christmas grub! No wonder people on average gain 51bs
over four weeks at Christmas. And it's no surprise that so many of us struggle into January feeling fat, flabby and in desper ate need of a slimming solution. But it really doesn't have to come to
that. You can enjoy your Christmas indul gences without ending up with a stomach as big as Santa's.
All it takes is a little care...and, of
course, a bit of self-control. When it comes to party food, it is fright
eningly easy to consume as many calories nibbling canapes as you would if you ate a full meal. So don't stand next to the snack table just shovelling it
in...think about
what you're eating! If you arrive at a party feeling hungry, you're more likely to scoff.
low-fat alternatives to crisps and nuts. Munch cocktail sausages instead of sausage rolls because pastry is high in fat. Go easy on high-fat cheeses like Cheddar and Stilton, and opt for something like Edam or Camembert instead, and choose breadsticks and healthy vegetables for dip ping as long as you don’t go mad on high- fat dips like taramasalata or blue cheese Go for white wine or a spritzer instead of
mulled wine, and stick to low-calorie mix ers

, • Opt for light turkey meat rather than
dark and remove the skin. Save about 50 calories
• Avoid sausage meat stuffing. Opt for
chunks for roasting. The bigger the pieces, the less fat they absorb. Parboil potatoes, brush with olive oil and finish them off in the oven. Save 100 calories • Make bread sauce with skimmed
milk. Add a clove of garlic to the milk for extra flavour. Save 15 calories • Pour turkey juices into a jug. Skim off
fat that rises to the surface before using the juices to make gravy
•U se fresh herbs or lemon zest to
flavour vegetables. One teaspoon of butter adds 40 calories

That way, instead of being
ing lots of cups of tea for all the guests you'll be having over the Christmas period, order your extra milk from the milkman rather than buying it from the supermarket. That way it should come in reusable glass bottles rather than wasteful cartons. However, if you
think you'll all be sip ping
something
stronger, don' forget to recycle your empty cans and bottles. Try to stick to
organic food and make good use of your leftovers, whether it's by whipping up a turkey curry or composting your potato peelings. And if you've wrapped your
turkey in tin foil, remeniber even that can be recycled.
