OK! Woke up at 7am and did some research on the computer looking for a new fridge. Bottom Freezer, french doors and saw that I had only two options for my price range....BB and Sears. Trekked out to Sears Home center in Glassboro, not too crowded, saw a slightly bigger fridge than the one I wanted, but the price was almost doubled. I asked the sales girl if they had the one I wanted in stock, she said no and told me to try the Outlet Store in Deptford. (A 15 min drive away) I agreed, since there is also a Sears store and a BB nearby. Went to the outlet store, rude people, asked for sales help and was ignored. Left after 15 minutes. They had nothing on the floor I wanted anyway. Went to Sears in Deptford Mall, they had just sold out of the fridge I wanted!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! Said they could "Special Order" it for a small fee, that and the supposed "Free Delivery" and "Free Haul" would cost me an extra $150.00, which would be reimbursed to me if I sent in a rebate for within 5 weeks of delivery.......oh yea....the delivery would be in 6-21 days!!!! Left there in a hurry and went to BB. They had nothing on the floor in the color my wife wanted. (Bisque) Went ot the sales lady and she said that they didn't keep the Bisque in stock and that it was a "Special Order" Item ($$$$$$$) And that they could arrange a delivery within 3 weeks! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I then tried Lowe's and found out that they don't keep Bisque colors in stock because they're not popular now. His quote, "PPL want either black, stainless or white, but they could special order it and have it delivered by Christmas!" So I went home and vented about my day to my wife, dad and step-mom. My wife went on-line and called the first store to see when they were getting the Fridge's in stock and a different girl said they they had one on the floor. Verified the make and model number and price and she said it was available. Me and my dad couldn't believe it and drove over there to find out she had made a mistake. It was the one I saw that was bigger and double the price. But it turns out, she gave us a $1599, 25 CUft Fridge for $759.00 plus tax.

I don't have a ranking system to this. A Christmas Story won last year and was number 8 this year. (Clearly, if I did, I would have had that 1 and Chrstmas Vacation #2 since they were in the finals last year, but it's just good fun to pass the time, not rocket science like the March Madness tournament.) I had an original list of 32 to start and let people add what they wanted and just added them to the list as they were posted on here. Johnny LaRue!! You will NOT Stuff this ballot box this year!!! C'Mon People!!!! 15 votes!!! I thought there'd be alot more about now!!!!!!!!!!

IN!!! My wife confiscated my other shirt!!!

Mods....close this please!

K.........I have to finish sorting out the bracket!!! I'll be back here after 5pm with the first round.

Thanks.

Thanks for the input.

My Fridge went last night, (of all friggin' nights!!) And we're looking for a new one. Directbuy kept popping up on google when I was looking for a replacement. Just wanted to know about price of the membership and was it worth it for just buying one appliance?? Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!! Scanner

Bell.....I'm just gonna post Last Holiday and COC and let the votes pick their faves!!!

Didn't know there were two versions, they never came on on IMDB or Wiki! Sry! I guess just pick your faves at this point! I'm crunching the numbers now!!

Alright!!!! That's the list!!! I'll draw up the Tournament sometime tomorrow and post it Thursday!! Thanks for your help and input!!!!

WOW!!! Wasn't expecting this kind of response!!!! :) I'll double check these movies and add them in!! And to answer the following: Charlie Brown is a TV Special. I'm running a separate tournament for that starting next week. The Holiday Movie Tournament is a tournament I created last year, where Christmas Movies go head to head against eachother until there is one winner. Last years winner was A Christmas Story! And like I said above, I'm running a separate Tournament for the TV Specials. Rudy and Frosty are in, as is good ole Charlie Brown. If Jim Hensen is a Movie I'll add it to this one, if not I'll add it next week. I had Bad Santa originally in the bracket above, but switched it out because it got absolutely no votes! I'll addd it again........I thought it was hilarious!!!!

Got my second DD done with the exception of one gift. Also took advantage of TRU's Bakugan sale and got some stuff for both my DS's! I'm about 25-29% done!!

Hey one and all!!! I have 32 Holiday Movies picked already, but here's YOUR Chance to influence me and add your fave's to the fold by telling me what you want to see listed as a choice!! Like I said....I'm going to make the official tournament on Thanksgiving so make your voices heard and your picks in now!!!

I'm a Fan on the FB page.

Just found a few more. I was out back with the kids and found the Moon Shoes that my DS "Had to Have!!" half-buried in the sandbox. My DD also had a bead jewelry set (forget the name) that was a complete disappointment for her. You had to lace everything with a piece of wire. No clips, just wrap the wire either around the neck or the wrist. (Yea.....real safe!!) My youngest DS got a CARS automated figure 8 track that had a "Speed Burst" option. The button broke two weeks after opening it and the thing devoured a 12-pk of D's in three weeks!!

Turkey and mashed!!!

I'm working til midnight and heading over after.
