On NPR I heard about a website called No Christmas Gifts This Year. The idea is that on average Americans are planning to spend $431 on Christmas gifts, that they probably can’t afford. This is down from last year’s figure of $859. (According to the American Research Group)
You can send a note to a friend or family member requesting that you spend time together instead of exchanging gifts. It’s a nice way to take the Grinch-y-ness away from the idea of a year with fewer gifts.
Take a peek at the site and send it to some friends. Less wrapping paper, packaging and junk that will eventually get tossed in the landfills sounds like a good Christmas present for the earth!
