People met up in the Broadmead shopping centre and gave away books, clothes, tea, food and information.
kids faces were painted and anti-consumerist carols were sung in the local shpping centre.

Carol Lyrics
28.11.2005 12:17
On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
A gift from a sweatshop overseas.
On the second day of Christmas
Toys made by kids
and a gift from a sweatshop overseas....
12 Billions without water
11 Unfed nations
10 Na-tions invaded
9 Bombs falling from planes
8 Evil multinationals
7 workers without unions
6 Cancer causing fumes
RAM-PANT-COR-PORATE GREED
4 four by fours
Third world debt
Toys made by kids
And a gift from a sweat shop overseas.
The other christmas carols we sang (and a whole load more) can be found at http://ainfos.ca/03/dec/ainfos00410.html
