you can also contact you local jaycees that are always do thinks in the community and please don't forget that people are in a great need of food this time of year the jaycees not only play santa but they may also make sure these familys in need have a great christmas dinner. they also do thanksgiving for familys in need.

In my family as we all started having kids we have the kids pick names and thanksgiving and they love doing it they like to go shopping and wrap the gift. we never put a money limit. we are very close so we would never hurt someones feelings by buying one a barbie doll and another a play station 2. When the kids turn 18 they are out of the name picking you have to draw a line some where. The grownups bring drinks desserts snacks that sort of think.

I have had great e bay purchases. But be careful with pay pal. I had money taken out of my account from a internet source and the only company that had this account was paypal and it would have cost a small fortune. I filed fruad papers at my bank and they reserched it and they covered everything now I no longer use pay pal or ebay.

I have a 10 year old and she will soon be 11 and she still believes I think that she know but she doesn't want to give up the dream of santa. Now, her brother (twin) he know and I told him that santa is a spirt in ones self of giving, sharing and love and if he didn't believe than he didn't get something from santa. Trust me it works!!

Pam, thank you thank you for these great fudge ideas I can't wait to make these.

They get to open one xmas eve and the rest xmas morning. They open at their dads on xmas eve

I will put mine up mid november. I live in the north so when the weather is still warm now is the time to do it. got to do it before the snow.brrr

I'm a single parent of three my kids are 13, 11,11 and I set a budget of 400.00 for xmas. I don't budget for each child just a christmas budget. I just make sure that the number of gifts are equal.

I love White Christmas!!
