Did you have a good Thanksgiving? I hope so.
Today is Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year. Do you plan to go out into the crowds in search of that one perfect gift? I’m not. Feel free to join me for Buy Nothing Day.
My son will be back for Christmas and I’m not sure what to get him. He’s at the age now where toys are no longer an option so this is a great time to try easing him out of the season of greed. Of course I want to get him something but I don’t think a ton of presents is required. I know I really don’t need anything so I’m not expecting anything. My wife and I will probably get each other a gift though. Knowing me I’ll ask for a book and she’ll roll her eyes at me. She’ll probably ask for a bath crystal and perfume set and I’ll hold my nose.
What’s that? You say it’s not Christmas unless you get me a gift? Ok, ok. You win. Here’s what you can get me: A donation to the Make-A-Wish foundation.
