I think it's a stupid idea. If you want to protest materialism, lead by example 365 days out of the year. Don't choose one and go "WOW I AM SO COOL" then go back to being a consumer whore. I don't buy much of anything, and I will shop for items whenever I feel it best (such as when there are sales). So in honour of my high-horsedness, I declare November 25th "Go Fuck Yourself Day", when I flip the proverbial bird to everyone who thinks that changing their habits for one day makes them a better person.
