The history of Buy Nothing Christmas" is a movement that started in the 1990s in North America as a way to protest the commercialization of Christmas. The idea is to encourage people to focus on the true meaning of Christmas, which is about spending time with family and friends, and giving to others, rather than buying stuff. The movement has gained traction in recent years, as more and more people are becoming aware of the negative environmental and social impacts of overconsumption."
