  1. In addition to what others above have done we've done the following: Best Christmas socks or outfit contestThey loved when we do the gift exchange with the Right Family Christmas. You can google the story. One person reads the story and every time you hear right or left that's the way you pass the gift. Once the story is over, you open whatever gift is in your hand.Christmas Family Feud. Whichever team makes it to bonus round has first pick at gifts.
  2. We set a budget per child. As our kids have gotten older the number of gifts have gone down, since the dollar amount per item goes up. We usually get them each a big gift and from there they receive "needs" (shoes, pjs, clothes, funny socks, and books) and some stocking stuffers. Fortunately our kids are still excited about unwrapping the gifts that they never care about how many they've received.
  3. All I can say it set your expectations up front. Let everyone know what you will and won't tolerate. If they have a problem with it, let them know they're more than welcome to refuse your invitation. When you stand you're ground people can only respect you and know what to expect from you. I hope your Thanksgiving dinner goes well this year.
  4. I played around with different url's and finally found one that worked. Thanks.

    12 Days of Socks

    I just ordered the Nickelodeon and Marvel socks on JCP with in-store pickup.
  6. I keep getting the following message: Could not save the URL image specified
  7. I'm trying to change my profile pic but it's not working. Every image I upload it says it's saved but the pic is not there. On top of that, it erased my previous pic.
  8. Happy November. It was great getting updates from everyone over the past year. Get ready for Black Friday!
  9. I typically use my phone or tablet. I download movies from Netflix and books and games from Amazon.Typically on international flights there's some type of in-flight entertainment.
  10. I'm in the same position. What I typically do is call Sprint directly. They will give you a better deal on the galaxy phone for renewing your contract for 2 years. This isn't offered on the website only through calling them. Usually they sell the galaxy for half price plus offer some type of cash back promotion. You do pay outright for the phone. My contract ends tomorrow and this is the process I will use to get my new phone. I've been doing it this way for the past 6 years.
  11. Small appliances, laundry basket, laundry detergent, restaurant/movie gift cards, sheets, throws, and blankets.
  12. PJ's, throws, rubbermaid bowls, and bath and body works stuff.
  13. One at a time and of course we have to take a picture for each one. Since the kids get more gifts we let them open a few before we hand some out to hubby or myself.

  19. Christmas with the Kranks, Home Alone, This Christmas and Best Man Holiday.
  20. This year I'm visiting family for Thanksgiving, so I need to plan out my BF shopping accordingly. I've already reminded them that I'm a big BF shopper so don't make any plans for me on that day.
