Holiday Choices "the Nuts and Bolts of Savvy Seasonal Spending"

Small businesses have been described in a multitude of ways, as different facets of a location, and explained in a variety of terms. Personally, I like the option which illustrates them as the pulse of a community; a vibrant force operating and thriving throughout the streets and buildings of a place where people live, work and play.

I wholeheartedly believe in "living local" and making a targeted effort to visit and spend at unique family-owned and operated businesses and companies. Not only does this choice helps to recirculate more money back into the economy right where we live, there's an immeasurable benefit to knowing the people who make up the community that you call home. While we so often focus our attention on the dedicated mom and pop retailers, long-time local restaurants and indie shops of all kinds, we'd want to also focus on the beverage category.
