happy new year everyone. stay safe, healthy and happy. Jan check in ..

i think its all about the mighty dollar. so yes stores will likely offer pre-black friday sales. but hold off special sales for black Friday. and i really wish for the covid scare to be way over by then!!! i have done quite A bit of on line shopping in the last so i know i will continue. but i am sure i will add back in the brick and mortar shopping. !!!

thank you willandmel!

well as i explained in a different post, i ordered a 55 inch smart tv , and it arrived SMASHED .. hole in middle on screen side.. corners were so destroyed pieces of the box were even missing ,sides shredded ect. anyhow ,i contacted the place i ordered it from and sent photos. they had someone get back to me who had sent an empty email and then an email asking how i liked the response . so the a top dog lady contacted me . very nice woman . said i had every right to be irate and here i was the most friendly customer ! they did not have a replacement , as the tv was no longer available, but she found one VERY close that was just a little more and had an extra feature. she had arranged that they could send it for the price i paid for the original tv. ( i had ordered 4 TV's this year from them. this one for my son, the other 3 to be prizes for the graduates of 2021. ) anyhow... at this point i decided i would wrap the broken tv and let him open it, also they would not have to do the express shipping to ship out the new one as i didn't need it before Christmas when giving him the broken one first .. as if a gag gift kinda thing. and then tell him the new one was coming and we are sending this one back.. the person bringing it to him pretended to fall and punch a hole through it (where the hole was already there) i cant upload the video ..i was going to post and show you all. his reaction was great!!! LOL and his brother told him" look on you tube, you were able to fix your car watching you tube . maybe you can fix a screen" anyhow off to print labels to return a tv and a trade in i-phone upgrade. i wish i could post the video and share it with you guys!

WELL WELL.. if covid didnt make christmas different this year mother nature had to add her special touch. we were not doing the traditional gathering of extended family , due to covid.. but the boys were all coming with gf .. anyhow i had planned to make the entire christmas dinner. had to change plans due to threat of power outages that will last days.so cooking was out of the question. bought cold cuts and made macaroni salad.

shopping is pretty much done.. several packages still to come. and received a smashed TV.. but contacted walmart and they will give me a comparable tv at the price i paid for the one the shipping company clearly destroyed. .. anyhow it would not be here by christmas.. sooo.. i am wrapping this one. will he go nuts when we pretend to fall with it and he opens it and its smashed? but as for the rest .. shopping close to done... wrapping .. i am keeping up with incoming packages. but have a stack not wrapped and not touched waiting ... as for baking i have baked more cookies in the last few weeks then in my whole life ,i think baking is done. i even started making cocoa bombs.. and now have some friends that want some .. so i guess im not done with that lol.. i have wrapped about 140 gifts so far ..

you might be able to view it. there is no sound for the first 20 seconds or so.

im pretty sure i already posted for december.. but in case i'm wrong .. here i go.

i received my package and LOVE it..THANK YOU SECRET SANTA!!!!! i first took a picture of everything wrapped .. thinking i was going to wait till christmas .. and then got busy doing some volunteer work.. and the presents were sitting here tempting me .. as well as the 5 bags of candy , that i was eating to much of all at once. ! so .. i took the 5 bags of candy and put them away to fight temptation.. then... came back and lost the fight of temptation and opened the gifts.. (that didnt last long) i absolutely love it all !!! the throw is so so soft. i instantly opened it and wrapped myself in it!!!

even more interesting.. i didnt intend to buy her the plant.. i wasnt even planning to visit that day... but the gps brought us the wrong way and we ended up in the area.. so i called her and she had no clue i was close or would be coming.. and she mentioned wanting chocolate cake.. SOOOO we went to the store to buy her a piece of chocolate cake.. and something about the plant(not to mention it was marked on a great sale, and had no sign of flowers growing, nor did i know it even could grow flowers).. caught my eye .. so we bought it , along with a whole cake ...

now i wish i remembered it .. i had done it before .but i found what i needed in your list this time! so thank you!!!

congrats to all the winners!!!

does anyone remember how to search in kohls for items that you c an not use codes with? i know certain brands and many electronics are in that group... but last year i recall a way i was able to search for those items..(this way i can use kohls cash on those , as the 30% off wont work on them ...

they did match the power washer . but theirs didnt include the bundle that came with the one at walmart.
