We found an interesting, eco-friendly (and maybe not really new) idea: rent or buy a potted Christmas Tree!

When we considered to buy a live tree for Christmas (dreaming on saving a tree life and re-use it over the years), we learned that, depending on the differences in temperature, it might be a bit more complicated than it looks like. The tree must stay a couple of days in the garage (if you have one), then moved inside, to avoid a temperature shock. The same steps should be followed when the tree is back outside, after Christmas. Even though it is depending on many factors, this idea is great and possible to achieve.

About 2009 Canadian Home Renovation Tax Credit - article by Tim Cestnick

This is an interesting article published in The Globe & Mail, on November 5th, 2009, by Tim Cestnick

Tim Cestnick is managing director at WaterStreet Family Wealth Counsel and author of 101 Tax Secrets for Canadians.

"Home renovation tax creditThe 2009 federal budget announced a tax credit for eligible home renovations. The list of expenses that qualify for this credit is long, and the renovations can be made to your home, cottage, mobile home or other property that qualifies as your principal residence. The tax credit could put as much as $1,350 back in your pocket when filing your 2009 tax return, and will apply to aggregate costs in excess of $1,000 but under $10,000 that you incur before Feb. 1st, 2010. So, if you haven't spent $10,000 on renovations yet, consider topping up your expenditures before Feb. 1."
