Having just spent the long American Thanksgiving weekend showing a guest from India the beauty of Cape Cod and its wildlife, the last thing I want to think about is the December holiday season-travel to visit relatives, gifts to buy, a house to decorate and meals to plan. I’d really rather polish my binoculars and head out the door again.
But I can get ready for Christmas quickly, then go watch the winter migrants arrive or the local creatures settling in for the cold winter, thanks to the Suite 101 holiday event. Started by the Home and Garden writers (who are much more organized than me or their homes and gardens would look like mine) the event has grown to include ideas from all of the Suite101.com topic areas.
The list includes lots of environmentally friendly gifts and decorations, tasty recipes for all palates, travel ideas and ways to maintain your sanity through this busy time. There are also some interesting articles to help understand how all those strange customs got started.
Check it out, then get outside and enjoy a wildlife filled holiday.
