I find this just as sad as the anti-Valentine's Day movements.

Honestly, if you don't want to buy people gifts, just don't. I've done it on years I'm in a bad financial situation. And even when I do buy gifts, its for my immediate family (or a girlfriend if I have one at the time). My friends and I all agree that if one of us wants something, he can buy it his or her damn self.

Jeez, do we really need rallies and t-shirts and shit to ignore something?

I think the problem was that things are way too over-the-top.

When I was a kid, Christmas seemed so easy. I just had to make my parents some popsicle-stick tree ornaments or something similar.

Last year, I noted that several girls in my class exchanged Christmas gifts of huge handbags and other such things.

Seems like there's a bit of room to cut out the excess.

Maybe instead of an anti-Christmas campaign, there should be a movement to get people to exchange handmade picture frames or ornaments. Probably be used just as much as the designer purses and they're a whole lot cheaper (and made with love).

Or cookies! Then at least you know they'll be used for something.
