NO CHIRSTMAS || BUY NOTHING
The Spirit of Christmas is not in wrapping paper | This is not my way of saying "Bah! Humbug!" but it is instead to support the slowly growing
international movement against conspicuous consumption during the feast season [Thanksgiving to Buddha's Birthday, roughly]
Two groups,
AdBusters and
Xmas Resistance have championed this cause for a number of years now | If you must give gifts to that haughty demanding relative, then donate money into a charitable organization in their name | At least then there's some large karmic payback to be rewarded | ...not that you should ask for this | Check out the initatives these wrothwhile groups are supporting |
