Just remember, it's Buy Nothing day today.

Don't give in to the hype! I can guarantee you, your family does NOT need the most expensive presents.

See? BND.

Okay. I've been psuedo-political today. Met my quota and all. I guess I can go out and buy that toilet paper now. I mean, I'd like not to, but this is kinda... different.

I've personally been a supporter of moderation during the holiday spending season, but unlike some fellow anarchists(who urge people to buy nothing and donate the money that they would have spent to laid off employees*), I personally believe that gift giving/receiving in moderation still has a part in the holidays.

*This also raises the(very interesting) question of how you can accurately tell how much you would have spent if you resolve to spend nothing.
