Holiday Shopping and the Area Economy

Do you do your holiday shopping locally or do you shop online or away from the area.

Amidst controversy, several stores will be open on Thanksgiving, while shoppers will be out in full force for Black Friday and  Small Business Saturday.

A strong holiday shopping season can boost a local economy, but not everyone shops locally. There are many options from malls to online sales.

We want to know how you're planning to shop. Will you be heading to local businesses or traveling. Or will you shop from home?
