It's here again! Take a small stand against the crazy consumerism and buy nothing on Black Friday. It's a headache waiting to happen plus it just feeds all the greed and discontent lurking around our hearts. My yearly tradition is to make my Christmas cards on that day. A choice to produce rather than consume. A quiet day filled with thoughts of those that are far away that will receive my cards. I turn on Christmas music...stay in comfy lounge pants...ahhhhh!

Hooray! I'll join you! We'll be all snuggled in cozy with our extended family enjoying good fellowship, games, and something hot & yummy to drink. I am so looking forward to it! No shopping for me when there's such fun family to be with. :)
I'll join! I love this idea.
Also...Thanks, Aimee, for your kind comments on my blog... they mean so much. I'm a follower of yours, too, just never been public until now! : )

We participated in Buy Nothing Day last year and it felt SOOO good! I am all in again this year! Black Friday will do just fine without me, I am sure! LOL
Excellent. I am really loving the mention of comfy /lounging pants. I wore comfy loose linen pants this week and I felt really nice.
I am with you on this 100%!!!
I love the idea of intentionally making something on that day! Time to find something new to embroider!
Amen to that.
I'm in! That's the day we always break out the Christmas decorations & music!
I plan to observe this again this year. It is much more relaxing and I might get some projects done.
What a great idea! It is such a rat race and I end up with things I don't need. Not to mention all the stress of parking, traffic, and waiting in line. No thanks!
okay, I boycotted last year...and I definitely have cards to make for this year, so that will be a good day to tackle it and do our decorating....wwhheeeee!!!!
I love what you said about making Christmas cards: "A choice to produce rather than consume."
I've never gone out on Black Friday, so it'll be easy to participate. We'll be hosting extended family that day, sleeping in, eating a yummy breakfast, sipping coffee...a vacation day filled with relationships.
I'm in! Hubby and I plan to decorate, listen to Christmas music and bake cookies to take to the neighbors on Friday.
