9 Compostable or Edible Christmas Tree Decorations [View all]

From the blog "The Minimalist Mom" - frugal and environmentally friendly decorations ...

We've had a little pink tree for years - just for fun - and don't really decorate it, but I'll probably pick up some pine cones from the little pine tree copse across the way, and maybe some pine branches just for their wonderful smell.

All of our Christmas tree decorations are packed away in a decoration box in Vancouver.

They were too fragile to ship overseas. At least that’s what I told myself when we were in the thick of moving.

Perhaps I was feeling too overwhelmed to put the energy into packing them properly. Or I was thinking we’re probably not going for long – why bother sending them across.

Those Christmas decorations aren’t doing us much good this year, a year when we will hopefully have our first live Christmas tree.

I don’t want to buy a lot of new decorations. And I’m not terribly crafty or inclined to start making angels and stars out of felt. My other goal is to not accumulate a lot of ornaments that we will have to store year round and eventually ship back to Canada.

Is there such a thing as minimalist Christmas tree ornaments? Probably not.
