Great piece! There is so much about the holidays I find so wasteful. My biggest issue is with wrapping paper, which you buy just throw away. I’m trying to find ways to be more creative with mine, but I have the get the wider family on board, too.

I was thinking four relatives could each take on one of the "somethings" for a given kid on a list. Really pare down but make it collaborative.

Going to order Natalie Portman’s book now. We were just discussing our disappointment with fables and fairy tales at the dinner table. Thank you!

I struggle with holiday gifts every year. Usually we fill carts with things to give away and choose a family trip on which to go. Trips might have to wait this year...
