The Alternative Advent Calendar ; Days 4 & 5
Yes despite coming into some criticism from the Christian quarter my Alternative Advent Calendar shall continue. For the record I think that reducing our negative footprint on the planet has every bit to do with Christ’s teaching, if that’s what you believe in and if you don’t then it has quite a lot to do with ensuring that our descendants can breathe and important stuff like that, much more so that just cutting and pasting a chunk from the Bible asking God to do the work for us. If I’m going to hell for blasphemous use of the word advent (or something) then I guess I’ll be seeing more people down there than I thought.
Naturally I cannot say for sure but if you are following these tips then I have a sneaking suspicion that Jesus loves you and if he doesn’t then at least I do.
Day 4;
Save cash on toys
If you have children, consider joining a toy library. It allows you to save you money on toys, and it's a great way of meeting other children and parents. There are over 1,000 toy libraries throughout the UK, serving approximately 250,000 children. See this site for more details.
Day 5;
Give a useful gift instead of one bound for the bin
Rather than searching for a present that may never be used, could you give your time instead to help with decorating, gardening or a big clear-out?
Don't forget that you can sign up for the daily email yourself.
