Reasons to celebrate!

So you're thinking, Labor Day's passed, and the next day to celebrate is Halloween? Not so! There are plenty of "official" days before that. Here's what's coming, according to Greetings 123's Editor Bob, and our suggestions for how to celebrate:


Sept. 6: Rent A Movie Day
We're always up for a classic or a chick flick, of course. Casablanca, Breakfast at Tiffany's, When Harry Met Sally, we could watch those every week! But we'll surprise you: We also like the occasional adventure or action, and not just the ones starring Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt :)
And we know we just saw Sex in the City -- okay, twice -- but is it out on video yet?



Sept. 7: Working Mother's Day
Grandparents Day
Eeeek! Time is running out. But we can help! Check out our awesome listings, on www.localshops1.com for the best choices for independent shopping. We have more than 350 stores listed, so we're pretty sure you'll find one with cool things for your mom, grandma or grandpa. Clothes, shoes, jewelry, art, furniture, fishing poles ... If you're still unsure what to get, we can give it a shot. E-mail us and we'll offer suggestions. Or even go shopping for you. We loooove to shop, anyway.

And while on our site, browse around, check out our weekly poll, tell us what you think, submit info on your own favorite locally owned, independent stores.
And don't forget to enter our monthly contest for TWO great prizes -- a one-hour facial and a towel set. Then next Sept. 7 you'll already have two great gifts handy.


Sept. 10: National Sobriety Day
Well, what can we say? We certainly didn't invent this one, but we'll play along. Perhaps a cheese and lemonade party? (and of course, check out our web site for independent food stores!
