Buy Nothing Christmas
Hmmmm, thought the point was not to 'boycott' Christmas, moreso to boycott the pathetic consumer overspend! Get back to a basic Christmas folks, do something nice for people and not to play the 'I've spent more on my kids than you' one-up-manship!

Have a look at this great model for building community and supporting each other in hard times: The Common Security Club. Join us on FB and write to request our free materials: andree@commonsecurityclub.org
These are uncertain times. The economic crisis has reminded us of our vulnerabilities: Debt, foreclosure, evaporating savings, rising costs, job insecurity. We can face these changes alone – or come together. What is a Common Security Club? A place to: • Come together to grapple with our personal security in a rapidl...y changing world. • Learn about the root causes of our economic and ecological challenges. • Explore ways to increase our personal/economic security through mutual aid and shared action. • Build on what we have together – and strengthen the institutions that we all depend on. • Make friends, find inspiration, have fun, and strengthen community. • Be part of a national movement of common security clubs that are connected to religious, civic, labor and small business organizations – working to transform the economy so that it works for everyone. Three Components of a Club LEARNING: Through popular education tools, videos and shared readings, participants increase their understanding of the larger economic forces on our lives. What is our vision for a healthy sustainable economy? MUTUAL AID – LOCAL ACTION: Through stories, examples, web-based resources, a workbook and mutual support, participants reflect on what makes them secure. What can we do together to increase our economic security at the local level? SOCIAL ACTION: Many of our challenges won’t be solved through personal or local mutual aid efforts. They require us to work together to press for larger state, national and even global changes. Coming together, what can we do to reclaim our economy from the casino capitalists? Starting Common Security Clubs – We Can Help! • Clubs typically are 10-20 adults who commit to meet for 5-6 initial facilitated meetings and then discuss whether to continue. • The CSC Network provides a detailed Facilitator’s Guide, and coaching and support by phone. • Anyone comfortable leading a group can facilitate a Club. • The model works well in churches and temples, workplaces, unions, neighborhood associations, classrooms—any place where people create community. We can help with this process. Contact Andrée Zaleska at andree@commonsecurityclub.org for more information, or to receive the full curriculum. The CSC is a project of the Institute for Policy Studies and On the Commons.

But a Moneysupermarket.com survey claims two-thirds of us will not have enough cash for all the presents and partying and will turn to credit cards instead.

Boxes of red velvet Santas and "real feel" pre-lit Christmas trees line the aisles at the Costco in Scarborough – right next to the barbecues left over from an unseasonably cool and economically challenging summer.
