Advert Calendar, tips for a sustainable Christmas

🗓️🎄Countdown to Christmas! Grandma Sita’s Advent Calendar is here! Celebrating Christmas with Grandma Sita in an eco-friendly and zero-waste manner is fun, affordable, and delicious. It also represents a significant step towards reducing our environmental footprint while enjoying this popular holiday. It’s a win-win!

🌱🍽️ Christmas celebrations vary greatly around the world, but many traditional Christmas foods share common plant-based ingredients such as nuts, dried fruits, spices, and herbs. The warm, inviting aroma of these ingredients creates a cozy and festive atmosphere, making them perfect for delightful winter plant-based meals. Get inspired by yummy Grandma Sita’s plant-based Christmas treats!

👵💚 Grandma Sita’s tips:

*There are many types of edible gifts you can prepare yourself. Keep in mind that using newspapers, fabric, or recycled brown paper is more environmentally friendly than conventional wrapping paper. If you’re not into cooking or crafting, no worries! You can give an experience instead, creating lasting memories together.
*During the festive season, instead of purchasing Christmas decorations, consider opting for affordable and recyclable options. You can make your decorations using pinecones, paper, or fruit pieces. Get creative by building your Christmas tree with items like books, wood, or anything else you can think of! 

📗 An Advent calendar is used to count the days leading up to Christmas, starting from December 1st and ending on Christmas Eve, December 24th. The term “Advent” comes from the Latin word “adventus,” which means “arrival.” Even those who are not Christians can enjoy it as a fun countdown to Christmas.

🌎 All of us can act at home to reduce our waste and transition our diets to one that is planet-forward before, during, and after any festivity season, and every single one counts. Happy Holidays ahead!
