FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26 2004 IS BUY NOTHING DAY

"For 24 hours, millions of people around the world do not participate -- in the doomsday economy, the marketing mind-games, and the frantic consumer-binge that's become our culture. We pause. We make a small choice not to shop. We shrink our footprint and gain some calm. Together we say to Exxon, Nike, Coke and the rest: enough is enough. And we help build this movement to rethink our unsustainable course.

In its 13 years, BND has become a flashpoint, a day when people of all stripes come together in symbolic protest. Visit the new BND Action Pyramid for a sample of great ways to celebrate."

I'll go you one better. I do not shop from the day before thanksgiving until after new years. ON principle. (and the crowds) been doing it for years. I only go to the grocery store when I have to during this period too.
