Did You Buy Locally?

Chicken Little

My family's Christmas purchases (dollars spent, roughly):
Internet or out-of-town - 65%
In town - 35%

I feel a little guilty, to tell the truth.  I'm conscious of how my city gets revenue, and I try to buy locally whenever I can.  This is the first year that we spent more money elsewhere.  But its so often cheaper and/or easier on the so-called "interweb".  If this is the trend, then it can't be good for sales-tax dependent Oklahoma towns.  If I were in a city finance department I'd be pounding the panic button right now.  

How'd you fair this season?
