Have you started making your wish lists and gift lists for the holidays? Put your pen down and your budget aside for a day and take advantage of all the free and fun things there are to do with your family on “Buy Nothing Day” this Friday, Nov. 27. Instead of braving the packed-out parking lots, load up your car and head to a peaceful park for a family picnic. Bring a Frisbee and a football to throw around, or pack some homemade peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

What are some other free and fun ideas you might try on Buy Nothing Day?
