| Merry Christmas to all green
guys & gals! The Green Girl would like
to wish all the John Deere enthusiasts a very "green" holiday! 
May you find gobs of green goodies under the tree this year! For
those procrastinators who need to do some last-minute shopping on Christmas Eve, here are
a few good "green" gifts to wrap up this holiday.
Deck
the halls
You can have a truly "green" Christmas tree decorated
with John Deere tractor lights and ornaments. There’s no shortage of choices so pick
your favorite. You can have Model A, B, D or 4020 tractors for strands of lights.
Ornaments run the gamut from plastic tractors to pewter medallions and everything in
between.
The infamous John Deere Christmas ornament from 1996 can cost way
more than the tree so maybe you’d like to get the other years in the series first!
There’s an entire set selling on eBay right now. The price is just over $600 and the
reserve isn’t met yet!
I heard the bells
What John Deere Christmas collectible would be complete without
the ability to play a Christmas carol? Several items do play music…like the holiday
snow globe scene with a motorized delivery truck going in a circle…or the fuzzy
reindeer who dances. They’re sure to amuse and entertain John Deere fans both young
and old!
Deer Santa
Thanks to Enesco’s John Deere Friends line or the Mary Moo
Moos, there are scores of Christmas collectible figurines sporting a John Deere cap or
tractor. 
If you’re into Holsteins,
you’ll love the long line of colorful cows wearing John Deere caps and sitting on
John Deere tractors. They all come with cute and catchy slogans too.
Stocking stuffers
And you’ll find all kinds of smaller-sized treats to stuff
in a stocking too. From the medallions and silver rounds to ornaments and other items, a
John Deere fan’s stocking could be overflowing with fun!
Bargain basement
Best of all, most of these items can be found for under $20 and
most of them are available at less than 10 bucks. Not bad for something with the famed
leaping deer on it! Of course, the best time to buy any of these John Deere Christmas
items will be on Wednesday, December 26th--the day after. A busy shopping day
for sales, especially for Christmas decorations and holiday-themed things.
So if you don’t find enough of what you want under the tree
this year, hit the stores to stock up for a truly "green" Christmas in 2002!
Happy Holidays!
