Meh, something is better than nothing.

Maybe someone will start by one day, and feel better and start doing it regularily.

If you click on the link, the page will also supply you with a link to the buy-nothing Christmas page... also interesting.

One Christmas I had a corporation-free Christmas, everybody got a unique and child-labour free present. Cutting out the commercialism of Christmas was awesome, and I actually enjoyed shopping rather than waiting in line at the GAP, listening to the cranky woman behind me complain about how many more presents she has to buy, so I can buy some ugly sweater that 10,000 other people in the city also had.

Yeah, I like granola, you wanna make something out of it?
