Aw, I love looking at everybody's presents and everybody loves what they received. It's definitely the most wonderful time of the year!

Oh my word. I just got back from a 12-hour shift today and was so surprised to see two packages waiting for me. I was like, "I didn't order anything within the past few days." Then upon closer inspection, they're from my Secret Santa. Thank you so much for going more than necessary. I would have been happy with one thing. You really just made my day, and my Christmas. I won't get to go home for Christmas to spend time with my parents because I have to work. I do have friends, but they're busy with their own families and life just takes a different course. What we had in common in the past is not what we have in common now. These two packages truly meant a lot to me: somebody cares. Thank you, again, my Secret Santa. I do appreciate your generosity, kindness, and thoughtfulness.

I'd like to participate again!

No matter how much I tried to wait until Christmas to open my SS gift, I just couldn't do it. The temptation was just too strong! I love my gifts and the letter. My SS is so thoughtful and generous. I'm really touched that my SS took such care into picking out the gifts. Thank you so much. You really made my day. My family and I don't celebrate Christmas. So, it's really nice to receive a gift.

Thank you, again.

Just sent my gift. Will send my cards next week.

I just want to let my SS know that I received the gift today. I can't wait to open it on Christmas Day. Thank you! I'll also be one of the late senders. I've just been swamped with work and school. I'll probably send the gift tomorrow or Saturday by 2-day priority mail.

Info is sent!

Yes. I asked a young couple what were they doing in line if they didn't know what was on sale. Their response, "Our friends wanted to come shop. We just tagged along because everyone else came." It's people like this that annoys me on Black Friday. Many of the teenagers think it's "cool" to go wait in line so they can brag about it on twitter or facebook. They don't buy anything. They just go because it's convenient.

I did all of my Black Friday shopping online on Wednesday and Thursday. Gotta loooove online shopping. I still, however, ventured out to the malls to browse on Black Friday. Since my family don't celebrate Christmas, these are just for myself: J.

Hi, if it's not too late, may I also be added to the card exchange?

ITA! I need to start saving up also. I may need to find a second job. All those gifts are going to buy themselves!

The website is down. How did I know this was going to happen?! Grr.

Laptop 1000 ct sheets Microwave A Macy's down comforter I have a question, I'm in the market for a new digicam. Sold my DSRL. I still regret it, but I needed the money at that time. Anyway, I saw a Canon Powershot ELPH 500 for $199.99. It retails for $279.99. Should I buy now or wait until the holidays when prices will be cheaper?

Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and Target. I need, more like I want, a desktop computer.

Oops, I just read your post now. Oh, well. I can't find the edit key.

So, no discount code is necessary because the free shipping will automatically be placed when you order.

Thanks. The cheapest I've found so far is at Circuit City for $9.99.

Does anyone know if Best Buy is having a sale on their DVD+R's 100-pack spindle? I remember for the past two years they were sold at $4.99. I looked through the ads today and I didn't find anything on them.

Hey! I'm from Appleton also...well, I live and go to school in Milwaukee, but my parents live there. The lines are probably the same. Last year was my first year "camping out" and waiting in line for Black Friday. I went to the Best Buy at the Fox River Mall, thinking I went early enough at 1:00AM, but by the time I got there, there was a pretty good size crowd already of at least 200 people.
