k of demand will help stabi-

Christmas present that would be.
But perhaps most importantly, for
those of you who would like to have
some fun buying presents, you'll
get that opportunity in spades.
For one thing, the people who
own and operate small retail
stores in small towns are always
individualists. They march to the
beat of a different Little Drummer
Boy. Almost certainly, they really
like what they do. I can say that
because it's obvious they're not in
it for the money. That is often re-
flected in the merchandise you'll
find there - merchandise you won't
find elsewhere.
If you go into a small store and
you don't find what you want, try
asking the owner - who will often
actually be in the store - if he can
get it for you. You'll be surprised
at how often he'll get a twinkle in
his eye and pull out a little cata-
logue or several little catalogues,
and go out of his way to help you.
Try that in a mall and the best you
can hope for is a shrug and direc-
tions to a different store, where
you probably won't find what
you're looking for either.
There is also anOther hometown
phenomenon you should take ad-
vantage of: Christmas bazaars.
They'll be held in church base-
ments or maybe at community cen-
ters or somewhere like that. Look
for ads in your community news-
papers (shameless self-promotion
notwithstanding). You'll always
find one-of-a-kind homemade gifts
and things like red currant jelly.
Talk about bargains!
Trust me, the experience is one
you'll savor. There's no place like
home(tow/) for the holidays.
