May Christmas learn from Thanksgiving
Last Christmas I didn't buy anybody anything. It felt rebellious and liberating. It felt good to resist the consumerist free-for-all. I had to explain to a few people it wasn't for lack of love, just that I hate shopping. This year I intend to do the same, a "Church of Stop Shopping" Christmas, with nothing made by slaves in China! But I will give some handmade gifts.Christmas should be more like Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving has the right recipe: family, food, hanging out and no gifts.
