Well, I think we have just invented a new holiday!!!!

Some "simple living/anti-consumerism" advocates have dubbed the day
after Thanksgiving "International Buy Nothing Day". Well, for those of
us who are not there yet, the day after International Buy Nothing Day is
hereby dubbed "International Day of Returns".

Let's start a movement!

That's "Boxing Day" (I went to school in England.) Besides, not all of
us celebrate Christmas, but "ALL" go shopping after Thanksgiving!
