I just sent a mail to friends and family informing them that Karianne and I won’t be giving presents to anybody this year. We are going to donate money to some worthy cause (we haven’t decided on which yet) instead and send people christmas cards or similar. Likewise, we have asked people to do the same to us; give money to a good cause rather than giving us even more stuff.

It’s a tiny drop in the huge ocean of consumerism, but it’s at least more than nothing.
