One guy at Walmart told us to buy tin foil in various colors, and wrap the gift in layers and layers. We did one gift just to try it out, and they love it! It was fun!

I second that! Lol!

I have 4 children 2 girls, and then 2 boys. Their b-days fall on Jan, Feb, Mar, and Nov. So, I kinda divide the gifts up. Since their b-days and Christmas are so close. Last year I bought my 10 yr old (boy) the Nintendo 3DS XL for $150, so this year he is only getting two video games. I was able to get him Pokemon X and Y for $14 each at Kmart. My younger son is 7, and this year I bought him a Nintendo 3ds XL as well. Same price! And was able to get Super Smash Bros. and Kirby for around $50 or a bit less. My eldest girl is 15, and was able to get her a Samsung Galaxy really cheap from MetroPCS. As for her younger sister who is 13, it's a bit harder. No stockings or Advent calendars this year, not in the budget.

I'm so sorry for your loss.... Thank you wittenlover!

For the past 15 years I have felt that way. The holidays were/are always up to me to make them special. My spouse and I are getting a divorce, so I'm trying my best to make it as nice as I can this year for our 4 children, and of course, I'm failing miserably. Lol!

I remember those!!!! My friend made several so when she had her first Christmas with her husband to be, that they had ornaments for their first Christmas together.

Thanksgiving Cupcakes http://www.momables.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Thanksgiving-cupcakes-MOMables-650w.jpgSave Print Author: MOMables Cuisine: Lunch Ingredients won ton wrappers (you can find them in the produce section) leftover turkey, shredded leftover stuffing of choice leftover cranberry sauce Gravy, if desired Instructions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Mix shredded turkey with stuffing. Reheat the turkey and stuffing before filling the won ton wrappers. Spray your cupcake pan with non stick spray. Gently push one won ton wrapper into each cupcake cup. Spoon 1 Tablespoon of turkey/stuffing mixture into each won ton wrapper. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cranberry sauce over each top. Make a second layer of won ton wrappers. Gently push the won ton wrapper in the opposite direction and put another 1 Tablespoon of turkey/stuffing mixture. Hold the second layer of cranberry sauce- the top cranberry sauce is added at the end. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges. Leave your cupcakes in the pan to let them cool slightly before you remove them. Add a spoonful of cranberry sauce over each cupcake (it's the frosting!) and have gravy on the side to dip if desired.

Our bus driver is from Montenegro, and the parents are not too kind with him. Last year I got him a nice bottle of wine, my youngest son who was having a hard time adjusting to going to school (Kindergarten, never went to Pre-K), the bus driver was really good with him. I was waiting all year for him to kick him off the bus. Lol! What about Christmas ornaments, or is that too blah? Our neighborhood TJ Maxx always has these really beautiful keepsake ones.

What a brilliant idea! I would love to try this one year , http://www.handimania.com/uploads/Santa-head-hat-fb.jpg

Thanks for posting. I was going to grab the boys some pants for church, and should have gotten them last night. I forgot about it, and this morning the pants went back up. Now, I have to sit and wait. The 20% on top of what they were, it was a really good deal. I'm bummed. Lol!

I usually buy the teachers Visa gift certificates for the holidays. It gets harder each year because I have four and as they get older the more teachers they get. I am tempted this year to make things for them, and have my two girls help. What do you do for your child/childrens teachers?

I'll have to wait for my stitches to come out of my mouth, but I'll be trying the turkey fajitas, pot pie, turkey tetrazzini, and the stuffing waffle. Thank you, they all look so good!
