Brace yourself; the holidays are upon us. Tomorrow is Shopping
Reminder Day, as if we need to be reminded that Christmas is less than three
weeks away. Wednesday is the beginning of Hanukah, and Thursday is
Thanksgiving. The next day is Black Friday, the official beginning of the
holiday shopping insanity. Last year Walmart decided to get a jump on the
competition by beginning Black Friday at 8:00 Thursday night. I’d boycott
Walmart to show my disgust and contempt, except that I’m ALREADY boycotting
them to show my disgust and contempt for everything else they do. I’m seriously
considering observing Buy Nothing Friday instead. No, I didn’t make it up (it’s
been around at least two decades) but I wish I had. How do you celebrate Buy
Nothing Friday? I might take a long walk, sit by the fire, make a pot of soup,
or decorate the house. Anything but go shopping.
