CHRISTMAS WITHOUT SANTA

Christmas has become the most materialistic time of the year in the United States of America.

Meanwhile this year more families who have lost homes and apartments - everything - are going to homeless shelters this winter.
Many families who still have are taking in relatives.
Though this blog is about PURCHASING PATRIOTICALLY, to preserve jobs in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, we feel that an old fashioned Christmas can be celebrated with home-made gifts - that the thought counts.
TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE FRIENDS and FAMILY who are hurting, may we suggest that you gift them with GROCERIES?
May we suggest that THIS IS THE TIME TO SIMPLY ASK BEFOREHAND what someone NEEDS?

PRODUCT REVIEW : CHOBANI GREEK YOGURT has TWICE AS MUCH PROTEIN

We just tried this CHOBANI Greek Yogurt in Blueberry Non-Fat Fruid in the bottom and we found it tasting wonderful and with some great advantages...

Calories 140, FIVE different live cultures, (Did you know there is a National Yogurt Association Criteria for Live and Active Culture yogurt?), and TWO TIMES the protein of other regular yogurts.

Cows's milk with no rBST. and they give 10% of their profits to charities world wide. Now we would like to encourage Chobani to FIRST GIVE TO U.S.A. charities, since we believe you take care of HOME first.

Link to the company, in New Berlin, New York above. If you are a retail marketer we encourage you to carry this item.

MONEY ORAGAMI - A PERFECT ALL AMERICAN PRESENT!

Grandma's present of a few dollars cash in a home-made card is extra special when it's folded into a heart and we bet your grandchild won't spend it as fast because it's too pretty to unfold. Money hearts may also make great presents for bridal shower gifts and other occassions...


THANKYOU to DOVER PUBLISHING FOR THIS ONE !

FOR THOSE CROCHET and KNIT GIFTS : LION BRAND YARN MADE IN THE UNITED STATES

OK, the crochet bug hit me and I am trying to complete two afghans as Holiday gifts as I type! But finding YARN MADE IN THE UNITES STATES isn't easy. I spent some time on the Internet looking for a yarn that is made here so I can make these patriotic gifts as well and LION BRAND is what I came up with.

Link now to LION BRAND YARN!

Remember to ASK AT THE YARN AND CRAFT SUPPLY STORES YOU SHOP AT FOR MADE IN THE UNITED STATES PRODUCTS!

PENNSYLVANIA DEERHUNTERS are DONATING VENISON TO FOOD BANKS

Link now to this Yahoo News article! 100,000 pounds of venison to be donated. I've eaten it only twice in my life. I know it has sustained human beings as food for centuries but for me it was a strange taste.

HELP US BUST LIEING ADVERTISERS

Please let us know if we post a "Made in America" product (because we believed their media advertising, their Internet Site, or their packaging) and it turns out that's a lie.

We are not making a profit on this blog, other than feeling that we may be helping you help the economy of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. We are aware that some companies have some products that are made here, and then many that are not and it's not always easy to tell, especially if they don't.

WE NEED YOUR HELP in keeping business honest so... Let us know if you find us in error!

Details please!

CHER quoted from DECEMBER 2010 VANITY FAIR MAGAZINE

page 221...

"A large portion of Cher's charitable work is devoted to veterans who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. "I was buying helmet inserts for the guys who were in Iraq. Football players have more protection on their heads than the guys over there do."

ONE OF HER IMMEDIATE GOALS IS TO JOIN OBAMAS' VETERANS TASK FORCE.

The outspoken Cher said...

"I would be willing to pay a lot more taxes, because I make a lot more money, but I don't want to give them more to just ...things up more... It really should fall on people like me to get together and do things to help the people in this country. If you're not worrying about how to put food on your table, you (should be) worrying about why other people don't have food on their table. I remember a great American where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas."

CHER IS ON THE COVER OF DECEMBER 2010 VANITY FAIR.
