About Buy Nothing Christmas Here.
This Christmas we'll be swamped with offers, ads
and invitations to buy more stuff. But now there's a way to say enough
and join a movement dedicated to reviving the original meaning of
Christmas giving.
Buy Nothing Christmas is a national initiative
started by Canadian Mennonites but open to everyone with a thirst for
change and a desire for action.
Buy Nothing Christmas is a stress-reliever, and
more people need to hear about it. You can change your world by simply
putting up one of the posters (or make your own) in your church, place
of worship, home or work. Be sneaky about it if you have to. The point
is to get people thinking. It's an idea whose time has come, so get out
there and make a difference!
