I feel the same way I don't know who gets more exited about them opening the gifts me or them. I love to see the looks on their faces and the comments they make. When my youngest ds was 3 I found him a used Pokémon binder filled with Pokémon cards and he was so excited that he was shaking. This year the est one was from oldest ds he hadn't thought that he was getting any clothes this year because he know that I had gotten the Wii, controllers & games so when he opened a pair of ecko shoes (a deal I found here) he lost it he said " Oh my God thanks Mom Oh I mean Santa" caught himself because 8 y\o ds still believes so he told him that he thanked me for adding it to his Christmas list!!

My girls had their bones while my boys opened presents.They were all so cute

The kids got me up at 5:00am I want more:yawn: sleep. Only got six hours last night and I am an 8 hour girl.

I save the boxes too but the paper no way the kids destory it all giant piles before we are all done

You are very welcome have a Merry Christmas!!!! Lucy

Santa is now at the Taj Mahal, India http://www.noradsanta.org/en/tracking.php

We give our babies a plate of whatever we have I really do make them up plates so they can have their dinner when we have ours. They also get tons of snacks from the kids all day crackers and cheese, chips, ect.. They ave one present each under the tree and I fill their stockings with treats. Last year I had wrapped treats but they got them before Christmas morning.. We found princess sitting in a pile of wrapping paper with a guilty look one her face and a full belly Christmas morning. She was bad but it was so cute.

Santa is now in Himalayas, Nepal http://www.noradsanta.org/en/tracking.php

I am so sorry to hear about your dog, I don't know what I would do if I lost my babies (princess 3 or 21 in doggies years and Isabella 1 or 7 doggie years) It has to be very hard on you it is just like lossing best friend.

Mine in the Tulsa Metro Area is pretty light not what I had expected but I'm thinking that they will have more Christmas Day!

Mornin' Jim They changed the website since last year I am having an issue or two with the 3D map but I am sure that I will be a pro this time tomorrow. Thanks for doing this let me know if you want a break...my 8 y\o will have me tracking the big guy all day...lol Yesterday I was doing the countdown on the NORAD site every 30 minutes or so and ds would call his cousin and tell his brother with every lookie. Lucy

I agree the movie night sounds really good to me in my budget but doesn't look to cheapie!!! Thanks I was really stumped this was really great I went to Walmart and got a large santa bowl for $2.50, 2 movies for $11.00, 6 movie size candies for $.88each and 6 bags of popcorn for $2.50 It looks great and all for under $30.00 I can't ask for more thanks to all of you!!!

Between $40.00-$60.00

We had a family join our church maybe 2 months ago and we have gone over to their house and hung out a bit. Our kids have played together on a few occasions but I don't really know them. Well yesterday my oldest ds went to go and play with their oldest son. He came home and asked me what we are getting them for Christmas because he found out that they got us guitar hero 1 so now I have no idea what to get them that is somewhat inexpensive. They have 4 kids from 7-14 all boys, I just don't know what to do...HELP

Candy, whoopee cushions, bubbles, cap guns, GC to Game store... I really think that I will regret the whoopee cushions

Me too I saved tons of money coming here!!! I had lurked for 2 years only for bf deals but stayed this year and boy am I glad that I did I saved so much money on the rest of my Christmas gifts. Heelys, roboreptile, ipod stuff and the list just goes on and on.. Thank you to GottaDeal and all the mods..

The computer guy at my job said that CompUSA was on Friday I don't know about any others but he has an in at the store due to all of the parts that he buys there.

I was just searching the forum for family gift ideas. A new family that we just meet about two months ago got our family a gift, my son and their son talk all the time, talk God I found out! I love the board game idea I am going to do that for them. They have four kids 6-14 so I think that this is just right. Thank you Thank You Thank you!!!!!!! I was so stumped for a gift for them!!!

The Norad Santa Tracker is great last year my ds 7 wanted everyone to go to bed at 6:30pm because he was tracking Santa and wanted to make sure we were all in bed by the time he came I guess his being in China was a little too close for him... It is so funny now but having to convince him that we didn't really need to go to bed was a pain, he was so insistent that we needed to right now, that he tried to drag his 13 y\o brother to bed..

I think this is the last year that my "baby" 8 y\o is going to still belive I want to make it extra special for him and me. I am really gonna miss tracking Santa @ Norad and leaving out milk & cookies.

Yeah the more I think about the idea the more I like it. I am going to tie a ribbon to a covered an empty paper towel roll so he can rollup the ribbion that will lead him to his bike. Where I an going to leave it is still up in the air.

There is good in this world..this story made me cry Thanks for sharing
