Unfortunately most of my family and friends don't want and won't use those handmade gifts. I'm gonna go check out those movies you mentioned.FairyLoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959088329880908252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773858642097805226.post-88683570279969687732011-11-21T06:29:55.186-08:002011-11-21T06:29:55.186-08:00Agreed!

It's hard to resist running to Target for a quickie, but in the long run, it will help your community. Every dollar you spend in a big box store LEAVES YOUR COMMUNITY and goes to some guy's yacht or off shore tax shelter. Not good for our economy... So sign up for a local or regional whirl (you know, where you grab a shopping cart stroll around the store but buy nothing and are joined in a long train of other whirlers, very self empowering).<br /><br />Then there's the zombie walk, where you and a few friends dress up like zombies and grab a cart to "shop" or stroll through the mall to drool and glare at what the other "zombies" not in make up are buying. <br /><br />Or you can just relax at home and watch The Reverend Billy's film "What Would Jesus Buy" and hear him "preach" that the Revolujah is coming. <br /><br />Great work Kathy.

Only one time did my mom talk me into shopping on that day, and never again.<br /><br />There is a Thanksgiving Comes First movement on the internet, too. Cultivating gratitude instead of the gimmies is what we need.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1773858642097805226.post-35337308516303830492011-11-17T08:10:14.434-08:002011-11-17T08:10:14.434-08:00Yes, yes, yes.

And that was once or twice because we had early celebrations I needed gifts for. It's nice to know others avoid "buying into" the holiday shopping frenzy. :o)<br /><br />Peace and Laughter!jugglingpayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921293051956441475noreply@blogger.com
