>>> Christmas 2011 -- Birth of a New Tradition
>>> Let's Take our Country Back
>>>
>>> As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high
>>> gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced 
>>> goods --
>>> merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This
>>> year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine
>>> concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift
>>> giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Yes
>>> there is!
>>>
>>> It's time to think outside the box, people. Who says a gift needs to fit 
>>> in
>>> a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper?
>>> Everyone -- yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates
>>> from your local American hair salon or barber?
>>>
>>> Gym membership? It's appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some
>>> health improvement.
>>>
>>> Who wouldn't appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, American owned
>>> detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or 
>>> a
>>> book of gift certificates.
>>>
>>> Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plonking 
>>> down
>>> the Benjamins on a Chinese made flat-screen? Perhaps that grateful gift
>>> receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer, or
>>> driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local golf course.
>>>
>>> There are a bazillion owner-run restaurants -- all offering gift
>>> certificates. And, if your intended isn't the fancy eatery sort, what 
>>> about
>>> a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint. Remember, folks 
>>> this
>>> isn't about big National chains -- this is about supporting your home 
>>> town
>>> Americans with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors 
>>> open.
>>>
>>> How many people couldn't use an oil change for their car, truck or
>>> motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy?
>>>
>>> Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would LOVE the services of a
>>> local cleaning lady for a day.
>>>
>>> My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy who 
>>> is
>>> struggling to get his repair business up and running.
>>>
>>> OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people 
>>> spin
>>> their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery
>>> and beautiful wooden boxes.
>>>
>>> Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave
>>> your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet 
>>> at
>>> your hometown theatre.
>>>
>>> Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands.
>>>
>>> Honestly, people, do you REALLY need to buy another ten thousand Chinese
>>> lights for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of light, about
>>> fifty cents stays in the community. If you have those kinds of bucks to
>>> burn, leave the mailman, trash guy or babysitter a nice BIG tip.
>>>
>>> You see, Christmas is no longer about draining American pockets so that
>>> China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about caring 
>>> about
>>> US, encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow
>>> their dreams. And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our
>>> communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn't 
>>> imagine.
>>> THIS is the new American Christmas tradition.
>>>
>>> Forward this to everyone on your mailing list -- post it to discussion
>>> groups -- throw up a post on Craigslist in the Rants and Raves section in
>>> your city -- send it to the editor of your local paper and radio 
>>> stations,
>>> and TV news departments. This is a revolution of caring about each other,
>>> and isn't that what Christmas is about?
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> IF YOU DON'T STAND BEHIND OUR TROOPS,
>>>
>>> PLEASE, FEEL FREE TO STAND
>>>
