Three Kids Reflect on Christmas in America
Gary Roberts i'm surprised there are so few members. i have now had 25 consecutive non-christmas's which accounts for more than half my life. i'm used to being called bar-humbug and scrooge december in, december out but i don't care. i feel totally liberated that i don't allow myself to get caught up in that ludicrous frenzy for 2+ months just so to "justify" overeating, overdrinking, overindulging. if you wanna do all those things you can organise it in a fraction of the time any day of the year. spend the money and time on yourself i say!
Stephanie We've tried this in the past, didn't go so well! We've decided who cares and everyone is getting a donation made on their behalf this year (except the little kids get gifts as Christmas is for them not us).
Sia K ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS IS SOME CORRUPT SHIT ITS FUCKIN PAGAN IF YOUR A TRUE CHRISTIAN DONT CELEBRATE THIS DAY.
Paul Ashurst Buying junk for peaple who dont want it waste of time and money
Justin Wiebe
I already don't buy anything at christmas.
Don't worry it's ok to be a Jerk.
Terri Wolfe May This is the second year that my family has chosen to give money to charity instead of buying gifts for the adults, and just get dollar store or second hand gift for the kids. Christmas is just as wonderful (maybe even better) and there's not as much stuff to haul around!
Michael Breton
I have a lot of stuff around the house I don't use, but know someone who would.
Plus instead of buying cards, I make intricate paper snowflakes, they double as decorations next year if you save it.

Michael Janda
Hi, I'm from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and I was wondering if there's anyone from Sydney who would like to be interviewed about their adherence to a buy nothing Christmas?
If you're interested, email me on janda.michael@abc.net.au
Rachelle Lasken And if you are going buy things only use cash. Boycott the corporate criminal credit card companies, ESPECIALLY CITIBANK!
Lindsey June Jones
As hard as things are, I would give anything for just my fam to be
happy, presents mean squat. And more then that, it completely detracts from the real purpose of christmas! They have whole movies and stories that try to undo what all the commercialism
has done!!
Robert Thanks BNC for voucher link. I'll add it to the fan photos so its not lost as The Wall fills. I can't imagine adbusters would feel IP is threatened...

Etheridge E James Go beyond buy nothing, unshop. This means getting rid of things from your home. This may mean recycling, or donating to a charity. If you find little or nothing that you want to donate you can always volunteer. Try delivering Christmas dinners to deserving families or delivering toys for tots. Not PS/2 or an xbox, but more traditional toys such as dolls or stuffed animals. Not guns or other weapons of any kind please.
