in sc, you neverknow what will happen we never get snow really until end of december through last dayof february is when our snow comes now we have lots of ice and stuff but no snow on BF.

i started a binder after hearing about it on here and i love it im so organized now

and i had already posted too... gosh im a dummy

did not know there was a thread started for this already.

I know we have a thread about Christmas breakfast, but what are some of the things you do during the day on Christmas , do you go to relatives houses, stay at home. Travel out of town. Whatever it is feel free to share. Here is my familys normal traditions: Christmas Eve Night , we do my dads side of the family events with the ham ,turkey, and last year we had sliced pork. They live right behind us (we all live on a farm that my dads dad owns) Christmas Day, we get up normally we have to open our presents Christmas Eve night cause we goto my moms parents house Christmas Day which is 2 hours away. But..... this year we are having my moms family here , so we will do everything that we do at my grandmothers house here this year instead, because we have more space, its always cramped when all of us are at her house. My grandfather watches the 24 hour marathon of A Christmas Story all day long. But all in all, its a great day no matter where it is :holiday04:holiday07:holiday16

anyone do coffee cake on Christmas Day, I was debating that . I tried a french toast casserole by Paula Deen the other day and oh my word it was like a sugar overhaul , really not much sugar, but it had a pecan / praline type topping and lord have mercy, you didnt even need syrup. But we have to always have a light breakfast , sort of cause lunch time , we have sandwiches, the dinner, we always have steak, potato, salad and gobs of desserts.

if anyone lives near pineville nc or in charlotte nc area , you may or may not know this. But Carolina Place Mall has a thing called Rockin Shoppin Eve , were from midnight to like 3 or 4 am you can hit some certain stores that are open not many are but the few that are open have really good deals.

i have been listening to it for about a week or so. Some radio stations have done Christmas Music Preview Weekends so i listen to those and listen to christmas cds while im cleaning house

yay for you! my husband works third shift well he got very unlucky . he works 6 pm -6 am so hes working the night before thanksgiving , night of thanksgiving, he has training on BF. The he will be working christmas eve and christmas day , at least i get to see him Christmas morning. He is always asleep anymore because of his work schedule.

thanks! ill definitely try it.

well last year was really hard for me and my husband. Him being in the military and bills and a ridiculous rent payment. We did what we could. Which wasnt much, but we had a good Christmas. This year I really have to watch because i dont have a job and it always feels like its a paycheck to paycheck thing during the holidays. The few things I have gotten are under 20.00 so far. My family is hard to buy for because either they want gift cards or thats it, but i know for sure that unless I see a better deal between now and then ill be hitting Sears bf morning for the 39.99 microwave . my parents want one!

Im sorry you couldnt find any i can always find it at just about any grocery store or walmart. Well im posting a new recipe, many of you have probably heard of this before, and its not a cookie recipe.But gosh, its name definitely fits this recipe.Its a cake recipe but still simple and easy. Better than Sex Cake 1 pkg. milk chocolate cake mix 1 jar caramel ice cream topping 1 can sweetened condensed milk 1 small container Cool Whip 2 Heath candy bars or any toffee flavored candy bar Bake cake as directed on box for a 9 x13 pan. As soon as cake is done , take a toothpick and pokeholes throughout the whole cake. Then pour milk and caramel over top of cake. Let cake cool completely before topping with Cool Whip. Crush up candy bars and sprinkle over top of the cool whip. Keep this cake refigerated unless serving it. Hope you enjoy it!

does anyone know a good cookie icing recipe that would work well for cut out sugar cookies?

heres a recipe for you.... Butter Pecan Cookies 1pkg. butter pecan cake mix 2 eggs 1/3 cup oil 1 c. chopped pecans 1 c. chocolate chips(optional) its good with or without the chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly brown. Very easy recipe. I make these all the time . Enjoy!

i saw this video a couple weeks ago this guy even has a website. He adds more and more every year. reminds me of Danny Devito on Deck the Halls. trying to have his house seen from space

loved the idea of a binder, so went and got one and it does help me keep organized even for sales before BF.

yes military bases are very picky about who gets on base at least at Camp Lejeune they are.

they are out. I got some of the Holiday nutcracker ones. Done with one batch of cards with the photo in it . Next cards are just to my husbands friends in the military and distant family members.

Medium or Easy, a few hard questions here and there... bring on some more trivia!

just saw m first pillsbury holiday commercial and the forerer rochere ( spelled so wrong , i think) commercial.... yay! i get so excited seeing the first couple holiday commercials!

going in the chat room now :)

i am a fan of TSO and Michael Buble
