Thanks, Chris.
Yes, for some of my on-line shopping I use three or four favorite locally owned stores. They are also awesome about shipping things to me in Texas, like my favorite Chinese green tea, so I really want them to succeed! Today I will go to a friend's shop that sells legacy and small brand sodas and old-fashioned candy to get stocking stuffers. We have watched their kids grow up, and two of them now run the shop. And we'll share a hug and a few memories - their Santa, another mutual friend, suddenly passed away 10 days ago.
We are really enjoying the boys this week!
