'Tis the Season

[razzleccentric]

AdBusters' Christmas Challenge:

Rise Above It. Start with yourself. Forget the heaps of presents: eat, drink and cheerfully excuse yourself from the annual festival of avarice. Limit your giving to hugs and belly laughs.

Keep it in the family. This year, why not gather together your friends, family and classmates to challenge them to do things differently? With the simplest of plans you can create a new rhythm, purpose and meaning for the holidays. And if a Buy Nothing Christmas is too extreme for grandma and the kids, maybe try a Buy Less Christmas. Or a $5.00 Christmas. Or a Regifting Christmas. Or a Green Christmas. Or a Slow-Down Christmas. Whatever you decide, ’tis the season to reclaim our celebration from the grip of commercial forces.
