Small Business Saturday today: you can leave the pepper spray at home.

Reading the ridiculous stories in the paper this morning about Black Friday antics, including the woman in LA who pepper sprayed the lunging, crazed crowd around her so she could be first to grab an X-Box. I'm imagining her on Christmas morning, when Junior rips open the package. "Honey, in the Christmas spirit, mommy had to seriously injure 20 people to get you this gift – have fun!"

Today is the antidote to the madness, when you can shop and have fun at small, local stores. Find unique merchandise, enjoy your adventure (people actually have fun at getting pushed and jabbed in the big box stores...at midnight??), and support small businesses in your community.

Today at Pomegranate, not only are we serving up fabulous gifts and holiday décor, we're ready for you with hot spiced cider or eggnog (with a little spike if you wish!). Tomorrow: we open the champagne for your shopping pleasure. Open daily: Mon-Sat 10:30-5, Sunday 11-4 (official hours, but quite often we're there earlier and later than posted). Oh, and no Christmas music yet: we don't want you getting sick of it this early...
