A large wicker basket with a handle, such as a picnic basket, makes an ideal container to hold Christmas greens and plants. Place several small glass jars into the basket to hold greens, such as cedar, pine or spruce. Small poinsettias nestled between the jars of green add colour and interest. Arrange the branches to cover the jars and to fall over the basket edge. Tuck large pine cones, artificial berries or holly in and around the greenery, if desired. Place a second basket beside it as a holder for holiday cards.
