Would a trend be a trend without an equally trendy anti-trend? With the ascendance of the shop-a-holic's dream that is black Friday comes the anti-establishmentt answer in buy-nothing-day. Cyber Monday has order-nothing-Monday. (I made that second one up)
How best for those whose life is dedicated to scorning mainstream to make a statement against all things shopping and holiday cheer? How best to assuage the anti-consumerist angst coming from your inevitable participation in christmas shopping at the MALL? How best to compensate for 364 days of living the consumer lifestyle like the rest of the chumps, and do it in a conspicuous way that you can brag about to your hipster friends? Never fear, buy-nothing-day is here!
