Buy Nothing Day/Make Something Day (rather than shop on the day after thanksgiving, celebrate Buy Nothing Day!
This weekend, I made our list of Christmas gifts and finished our shopping for the holidays. Forty dollars in supplies will send our loved one’s a package (minus shipping, of course) of home-made gifts we’ll make them while on Thanksgiving break this year. I’m excited to make ornaments, bird houses and cookies with our son, and for him to know that we can give without going to the mall.
For some, the concept is harder to grasp, and the tradition of consumerism harder to let go of. Just spend some time rethinking it. Get creative. It’s amazing how great Christmas can be without the trimmings and trappings. To that end, we hope to get the point across those those who love us as well, that needless gifts are not wanted, just your love and time! How easy is that?!
Spend less, love more!
