HOME & GARDEN If you’re planning to decorate your house with a Christmas theme for the holidays, think about taking inspiration from nature with a view to minimising our footprint on planet earth. A really wonderful Christmas tree idea is to use a fallen branch, with or without leaves, and decorate it. Of course stockings and wreaths can be handmade. A very beautiful centrepiece can be some tall white candles surrounded by green foliage from the garden. Wrapping can also come from nature: use fallen gum leaves as gift tags, long grasses as string, banana or other larges leaves as wrapping paper. Of course, old newspaper is also great for wrapping.
