From the Christmas Resistance site:
“Join the Christmas Resistance Movement!
The growing CHRISTMAS RESISTANCE MOVEMENT is joined in solidarity against the Shopping Season. For every 100 automatons who call you “Scrooge,” there’s a sparkly-eyed CHRISTMAS RESISTOR who supports YOU in NOT BUYING INTO THE HOLIDAY HYSTERIA.
Together, we boycott Christmas Shopping, Christmas decorations, Christmas cards, and every variety of Christmas Crap. We refuse to support the Holiday Industry. We show our love for friends and family by giving our time and care, not by purchasing consumer goods. We maintain the integrity of giving by giving spontaneously and from our hearts, rather than during a specified season.
You are not alone. Together, we can RESIST CHRISTMAS!”
And don’t forget about Buy Nothing Christmas! I only trade presents with two friends-neither of whom celebrate Christmas so that makes it funny. Both friends prefer DIY and funky gifts so it’s easier to afford too. It may be too late to back out of presents this year but why not in 2011?
