Learn
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!

about it.

The Christmas story is all about flipping
the system on its lid.
