and since there is 34 days until Christmas - I think it is timely to remind everyone that Friday is adbusters "Buy Nothing Day".
I think it is important to pause in this season of frenzied spending and stop. THINK about what we're doing when we spend, spend, spend. Now, I must confess I am not a nutso Christmas shopper - I love Christmas, I love giving gifts, I even like receiving them - but I hate the waste. So we've always been wise givers - not cheap or even frugal - just thoughtful. Maybe we need a day to stop and think before we purchase. We need to learn to give responsibly - and still have a great time!
So, while you're not shopping on Friday - take the time to research some unique gift giving possibilities...you might be surprised what you find.
