Support the local business.

With the inspiration from my Spanish accountant:

The economic crisis is very hard to many who have a small business. The bigger companies have more possibilities to survive the crisis than the small ones.

Shop Christmas gifts and what else you need at small local businesses and freelancers
(The neighbor who sells by catalog or by Internet, the artisan who makes jewelry, the friend who has a
store in the neighborhood, the baker who makes nougat craftsmen, the
guy who sells in the market ...)

Let the money reach those close and not the large
multinationals. Thus, more people will have a better living.

And when it comes to pay ... Never pay with debit / credit cards.
Then you can avoid the profit of banks and financial corporations.
(Depending on which card the fees may apply up to 6%)

Supporting your neighbors and locals is possible with is just a little effort and it will not cost you extra to lend a hand to these people.
