     Buy Nothing Day is November 29. It’s 25 days before Christmas. The idea for Buy Nothing Day started in Vancouver, British Columbia. Now people all over the United States celebrate Buy Nothing Day. In California, parents and children get together to read stories, sing songs and paint pictures. The children talk about why they don’t need a lot of toys.
     This year in Albuquerque, New Mexico, high school students wanted to tell other students about Buy Nothing Day. They organized a simple dinner to give people information about Buy Nothing Day.

The dinner was a big success, and many students agreed not to buy anything on November 29. The students at the high school liked the idea of this new tradition.
