Since most of my kids are married and on their own they bring their families to my house for breakfast at 9am we eat and then open presents

Office Depot offered discounts on gift cards one year too

Silly store don't they want my business?

I would love to be able to decorate like that. This is the first year in a long time I am putting up a tree at my house (have always gone to parents week before Christmas.

My mom and dad got one from home depot last year and it is a beautiful tree.

I tend to buy all year, especially clearance items if I am sure it will make someone happy. But the majority of Christmas is bought from about now until Christmas.

One of the only reasons I bought toys at kohls was the ability to use the coupon and to get kohls cash . I think their prices are too high compared to other brick and mortar stores or online on a regular basis I have 10 grandbabies and number 11 due in March I need toy deals

I think I would pick Kohl’s for both

Pj's for the grandkids, and towels for me or someone in the family

I saw these at Walmart the other day they are cute!!

Helping mom put hers up just before Thanksgiving, and mine up the first weekend in December.

The bird feeder is cute

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation "Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings"

One person one gift at a time at our house (it takes a while) we do make exceptions if the little ones need a nap or someone needs to leave to go to a spouse's family gathering. I really enjoy watching everyone open.

My oldest DS sent me photos today of things he wants from Harbor Freight unfortunately there is only one match and it is out of budget.... guess i'll go in and get some of the smaller stuff though.

Maybe some kind of treasure hunt at each stop a small gift with another clue

On the thread about how big is your BF budget, I started wondering how many people that budget covers. My budget has to cover at least 26 people most of those I spend $50.00 apiece some a little more. I wish I could spend more per person especially the grandchildren. Oh if you are wondering about the Nintendo 2DS my parents are splitting the cost so the kids will be surprised to get them.

That would be great, I could use a new one of these too.

It looks like this is going to be a busy month so October should seem to go by fast, making BF come more quickly!!!

I need 4 Nintendo 2DS (the ones that don't fold) so I am hoping for something. I also want to get DD15 a set of Spinner luggage.

I'm hoping around 1600 maybe a little more but not much

My sister in law wants one too for my nephew

I miss having little ones at home on Christmas morning
