Christmas is coming,
The geese are getting fat,
So please put a penny in the old man's hat!
If you haven't a penny,
a Halfpenny will do,
and if you haven't got a Halfpenny,
then God Bless You!
I suppose you've heard that poem already, haven't you?
ANYWAY...
What I really wanted to write about was this infographic I saw on Facebook:
Now, before you say anything about this statement, I want to go on record with the following:
I have NO IDEA if the numbers are true or not. I have NO IDEA who did the research. Hey, I saw it on Facebook so it must be true, right??? (no, not really. It MIGHT be true. It might not.)
However, I still think it makes sense. Every time we buy something from another country, we send money out of our country. And I know several people who have small, local businesses, who would appreciate the sales! Like, for example, take a look at the shops on Etsy.com - they are usually artists who would like to earn some money for the art, crafts, jewelry, etc that they produce.
It's the same thing I said last year. It isn't easy to find stuff made in the USA, but it is a really good idea to try!
And I haven't gone to the "madeinusachallenge.com" website yet, but I'm going to do that next, and I'll see what it says. And you should too.
