“Twas the night before Christmas.
No cards have been sent.
No presents are wrapped,
there’s no tree to augment.
No air tickets purchased
to family events.
If we choose to “go green”
well that’s what is meant.
Instead, give to charity,
make our own jam
to give to the family
rather than ham.
Avoid plastic tinsel.
As home decorator
only use hand-made
from wool, wood or paper.
The night before Christmas
we chose to go green
and help to keep Earth’s
environment clean.
