And all I hope is that they don't buy Chinese toys this Christmas. I hope they find a way to buy little outfits that are made at your local craft fair, or they find ways to find candy that's made by a local firm, they find ways to spend those dollars wisely, because if we do that, if we spend every dollar as wisely as we can, we really lift the economy of this country, and we put those dollars back into businesses that actually are conducting business on our shores.
