Where I live, this Saturday is small business’ shopping day. I do at least 75% of my shopping with local merchants.

That’s a great idea in your community. Our town had an ‘open house’ a few days ago for the local stores. My instrumental group provided some of the music for entertainment while peeps shopped.

Small Business Saturday is an initiative pretty much driven by American Express. Check their website; if you register and use their card on SBS, you receive a $25 credit toward your bill.

Even though you're a couple thousand miles away, thanks for supporting the local merchants.

As an aside, under the first two years of obamanomics our Black Friday has come in the week after Christmas. We're probably doing better than a lot of folks.
