Some people think we buy too many gifts before Christmas. So they have started a special day with the name of Buy Nothing Day. They don’t want anyone to go shopping on that day. Buy Nothing Day is after Thanksgiving and it is often the first day of Christmas shopping. At that time, we see ads in newspapers and on TV telling us to “BUY! BUY! BUY!”. The idea for Buy Nothing Day started in Canada. Now people all over the world celebrate Buy Nothing Day. In California, parents and children get together to read stories, sing songs and draw pictures. The children talk about why they don’t get a lot of toys. In New Mexico, high school students made posters to give people information about Buy Nothing Day. Most people liked the new idea. They decided not to buy anything on that day every year.
