Buy Nothing Christmas:
'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'. A national initiative started by Canadian Mennonites, it's 'open to everyone with a thirst for change and a desire for action.' Buy Nothing Christmas 2004 is breath of fresh air and enables us to feel we can actually do something about our annoyance at shops tarted up for Christmas well before All Hallows Eve. Have a look at their posters.
