Did anyone participate in Buy Nothing Day?

Sure did.

What is more, I am buying nothing all season. I don't even intend to go into any stores again until January, except the local market for perishible foods.

And I am delightfully ecstatic about the whole business!!

(i am making gifts, mostly using my computer)

Yes, all this commercialism and craze for buying things we don't even need should stop. Thanksgiving and the days surrounding it should be about being thankful for what you ALREADY have and not having to go out and buy more useless junk.

Who Gonna Celebrate Buy Nothing Day?

I usually do. The 29th for the rest of the world? Cool. I'm going to a gig tonight and if any of the musicians are selling CDs that I don't have yet, I'm not going to pass up the opportunity. :-)

The serious point is that this is an example of a thriving alternative economic model. Corporate dominance of buying and selling is a recent invention. We got on just fine long before it came to power and those of us who choose to be outside it as much as possible get on reasonably well still.
