The topic came up at lunch today, would it be possible to give Christmas gifts made in the US this year?<\/p>\n
I’m thinking candy from places like Dietsch Brothers<\/a>, Coons<\/a>, Goetze’s<\/a> and Spangler<\/a>. Maybe beer or some booze from a US distillery.\u00c2\u00a0 How about something homemade from Etsy<\/a> or your local artisans.\u00c2\u00a0 I suppose magazines and books could work too. They are still published and printed domestically these days, right?<\/p>\n Closer to where I grew up you have ThistleDew Farm and Mountain Crafts<\/a> selling honey and wooden toys. Just down the river is Rossi Pasta<\/a> and Fenton Glass<\/a>.<\/p>\n If only there was a website encouraging folks to only buy US for Christmas. Hum, uschristmas.com & uschristmas.net are taken but uschristmas.info isn’t. How would this work with 42 days until Christmas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The topic came up at lunch today, would it be possible to give Christmas gifts made in the US this year?
