Buy nothing weekends

I just want to share a link to a very interesting blog and in particular to this article on how to prepare for a less consumer-oriented Christmas. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

    Yes a lot of us do similar things to what the blog talks about, I like their writings a lot, so I thought it might be nice to share it here!
