After you’ve snapped up the Black Friday mega deals from mega merchandisers, spend Saturday supporting local businesses. Think of the stores and restaurants (gift certificates) that you would be sad if they closed their doors. Keep them in business by spending some of your holiday dollars with them.

Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Hanukkah, and an early Merry Christmas!
