National Buy Nothing Day
I'm inviting you to participate in National Buy Nothing Day tomorrow. If you're tired of being treated as an animal feeding at the Department Store Sale Trough, then skip tomorrow's holiday sales.
From Adbusters.org's Buy Nothing Day tour page:
"In America, Buy Nothing Day played out in some of the nation's last remaining public spaces - its malls. Costumed groups of revelers managed to slip in and stay long enough to set up tables and suggest alternatives to heavy holiday spending such as giving to charity. Spend time with family and friends, rather than money on them, was the message. Yes it's cliche, but, the things most worth pursuing, and exchanging - love, ritual, attention, sacrifice, freedom-are the things no-one can buy."

I did that. Mostly because I just hate malls and people. But I did it. ;)
