Denver, Colorado’s BookBar has penned a poem celebrating the joys of shopping at local, independent shops this holiday season. BookBar’s Ode to Local Shopping ’Twas the day before Christmas Eve, when all through the town Not a shopper was resting as the days counted down A few items to go on each of their lists they kept tightly gripped in their sweaty, clutched fists Malls and big box stores were crammed with the stressed Cars circled lots to find spots, not even the best Store clerks were busy and stressed out too aisles were stacked and packed; it felt like a zoo I drove away from the hustle and bustle away from the chains and the threat of a tussle went straight to my friendly and locally owned shops where stores were still run by the moms and the pops I was greeted with warmth and genuine smiles For this, I gladly would have walked miles Everyone knew exactly what they sold and suggested perfect gifts for the young and the old I went home happy and my shopping was done Not only that, but it was actually fun! Never again will I brave angry crowds for a reason: Independently owned holds the promise of a most joyous season
