Shopping (s)Mall

This year there are only 25 shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, making for a very short holiday season. (Hard to believe with some retailers rolling out Christmas items by the end of August, and Black Friday now actually starting on Thanksgiving.)

As you are plotting how to get a head start on your list, consider forgoing the mall in favor of  Small Business Saturday, coming up on November 29. It’s an alternative that seems less hassle and more like a treat – all the while supporting small businesses in your neighborhood. Plus, your purchases have a positive impact, since the money you spend stays in the community.
