For me, Thanksgiving marks the beginning of Christmas shopping season, but I do not participate in Black Friday and I am definitely not a fan of stores open today that deprive workers of a holiday to satisfy America’s ever-growing consumerism.
So I will be trying to buy American again this year. If you remember from last year, I found this to be a much bigger challenge than I expected. I still only do gifts for children (well, if the boyfriend is lucky, maybe I’ll branch out.) And I expect to find myself back at etsy.com, where you can buy handmade gifts from artists around the country.
I will share my finds and I’d love any suggestions you have.
