The only day you go out of your way to shove your way through a crowd in order to purchase cheap plastic crap the day after giving thanks for all the things you have!

Might I suggest purchasing gift items from local, mom & pop stores and from independent artists? At the very, very least…check the labels and buy products made in the USA.

Be safe out there, mind your budget, and remember what’s really important! I’m skipping the mayhem and making gifts for Christmas. I’ll be driving back to Marshmallow Ranch today. Then tonight is the annual Hotel Colorado Lighting Ceremony and Fireworks Show! I can’t wait!!!
