I already have enough disposable stuff…I don’t need to take part in the madness that retailers named “black Friday.” And it’s now creeping into Thursday as well…being called “grey Thursday.” What’s next, “beige Wednesday?” And do we now–instead of wishing each other a Happy Thanksgiving–say Happy Grey Thursday? I noticed a few years ago thatContinue reading “Enough Already!”

It’s That Time of Year…
It’s that time of year again…when the stores and media bombards us with adverts attempting to convince us that we have to buy stuff we don’t really need.

While most Americans (and now Canadians) know this day, the day after Thanksgiving, as “Black Friday” (how ironic is that title?) there’s a counter culture that is referring to it as Buy Nothing Day. You can read more about it here, and here. My hopeContinue reading “>Buy Nothing Day (AKA Black Friday)”
