   ok so I watched this video and while I do not agree with it 100percent it is a good video to watch. I too believe that our society places a lot of value on “stuff.”

   A few years back we stopped giving gifts at Christmas time and it had a big impact on all of us. We bought a few little toys for the toddler but everyone of age to understand forgoes presents. We all realized how much more fun it is to make cookies with family and friends and have nice memory instead of toys or clothes or stuff. We get so much of what we want throughout the year that putting pressure on just one day now seems silly to me.
   (which goes right along with your simplifying concept btw!)
   it is so much simpler to go to church and sing and decorate the tree and not fight the crowds buying what you don’t need.

   I hate that the video is so true. The part about the shoes really got me….it is so silly that society places so much value on people, based on the stuff that they have. You’re not cool, if you’re not fashionable, and that is so dumb! I agree that people watch tv too much, and spend more time shopping than spending quality time with family. We are guilty of that as well. I would LOVE for that to change. It really is ridiculous…all of it. I will be excited to show this to everyone I know.
