It’s not just advertising, it’s everything. Malls, TV shows, magazines, movies, other people. We see hundred of images everyday of things we want or feel we need. But we probably don’t, so let’s just cool it for a while, shall we?
Don’t Need It
15 Tuesday Nov 2011
Just this morning I was thinking, “what would 20 pieces say about Christmas?”
It’s a good (and open) question, mamma. For so many people, Christmas is a time when they get inundated with more and more stuff, lots of which they probably don’t need, and usually don’t even want.
I’ve had three or four conversations with friends already about extended families who expect gifts and give lots of gifts in return, and what a financial and emotional burden that can be.
Umm, I still want presents though. I’m not that dedicated to minimalism…yet.
I know, it’s hard to find where good, meaningful and enough reside. And, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to give you clothes. Pajamas don’t count right?
