Want to avoid the crowds? Find that perfect one-of-a-kind gift? Value local, hand made treasures?

*Shop Local on Small Business Saturday, November 29th, 2025*

Small businesses often offer customized products, hands-on service, and other personal touches that big box stores cannot. Additionally, consumers looking to avoid the stressors of holiday shopping favor small businesses.

A bonus when you Shop Small—in-store or online! You can be certain that your local community benefits greatly from the restaurants, retail stores, manufacturers, and service providers that create jobs and drive economic growth in your area.

Support the small businesses in your area and shop local – especially during Small Business Saturday on November 29th.

Today is Use Less Stuff Day...what an interesting "holiday" to celebrate. And in true holiday spirit, we are going to share a few ways that you can "use less stuff":

1. Use a basic cell phone. Instead of getting a smart phone with texting and internet, opt for a basic phone that makes and receives phone calls.

2. Cut the cable cord. Many people are spending well in excess of $100 a month on cable television that gives them 500 different channels. Out of all those channels, most people watch 10 to 15.

3. Get rid of credit cards. Instead of using credit cards, only buy what you can afford. Stick to that plan and the fear of not being able to pay the bills will quickly disappear.

4. Declutter the home. A search around the home will find many things that are not needed or are no longer used. Find different ways to declutter your life and get rid of the things that are no longer necessary. It is even possible to make some money selling these things that can be used to help in other areas, such as paying off credit card debt.

5.Track your time. Pay attention to how much time you are spending doing things. Look for ways to cut down on time you think is being wasted on unnecessary things.

Time and money are two of the most valuable resources people have. When life gets simpler, the amount of these two things that a person has available will rise. That is the benefit of a simpler life in today’s world.

The great thing about this list is that people have choices. They can choose to do one of them, all of them, or some of them. They can start out with just one and then add some others later.

It doesn't matter where you go,
Or who you meet along the way,
Carry kindness in your heart,
And practice it each day.

A simple smile can change the course,
Of someone else's week,
The smallest gesture represents,
The gift of joy we seek.

A gentle touch reminds us,
That humanity still reigns,
To pet a lonely cat or dog
Shows that love will never wane.

There are a million obstacles
On any given day,
But rise above the hate and fear
And live life the kindness way.
