DESCRIPTION:This year's annual Buy Nothing Day is Friday Nov 24, 2006.  Or Saturday 
 November 25, 2006, depending on who you believe. The Friday after 
 Thanksgiving is otherwise known as "Black Friday", the day when hoards of 
 shoppers hit the stores to start the Christmas buying season.  It is 
 supposed to be the biggest shopping day of the year.  Hence the term "Black 
 Friday", the day when most retailers get out of the red and into the black, 
 finacially. \n\nBuy Nothing Day is a consumer boycott of all stores on the 
 Friday after Thanksgving that shows support for turning away from the 
 culture of mass consumption and wastefulness.  My store (not named here) 
 will be closed on Friday Nov 24, 2006 in solidarity with Buy Nothing Day.  
 And so I can go out of town for Thanksgivng.\n\nBuy Nothing Day is also 
 recognized on Saturday, Nov 25, 2006 in Europe.  They don't have 
 Thanksgiving over there, so they have Buy Nothing Day on the last Saturday 
 of November, although it is claimed that Buy Nothing Day in the US/Canada 
 is on Nov 24 this year,\naccording to 
 http://www.buynothingday.co.uk/\n\n\nAdbusters 
 \nhttp://www.adbusters.org/metas/eco/bnd/\nsays that Nov 25 is Buy Nothing 
 Day every year.  Wikipedia says that it is the day after Thanksgiving every 
 year.  See
