Walmart, Target, then the mall. Should be fun :) I'm trying to decide if I should wait until things go to 75%-90%....less of a selection, more of a deal. hmmm

Nope...which is very surprising. We have two cats and a 20 month old. So far the tree is still standing with all the ornaments...so far In the beginning I did move some of the ornaments dh put up..shhhh

I don't know about mini vaccums....there are cans of air that work well to get the dust out of computers. Those are sold everywhere, Walmart, Best Buy, etc. Good luck.

That's a really cute idea...I'll have to try that next yr! :)

We pick out a new ornament each yr. My mom did that with us when we were growing up and I had a very nice collection when I moved out. :)

I wrap everything as I bring it home. So we're all caught up.

Our dd was a little younger last Christmas but for her we did board books, baby bitter biscuits, baby cereal like those Gerber puffs, bibs, socks, and a couple smaller toys.

That is a really good deal! Wow. I wouldn't be able to pass it up either.

I tape ours to the pantry door in the kitchen. I like to look at them :)

I'm not sure what the "hot" toys are :) but I do the same thing. Last yr we got tons of stuff after Christmas. We gave some to our dd on her birthday(april), we are giving her some this yr on Christmas and then more still on her 2nd birthday. We saved so much money and it's made the holidays so much easier. Good luck!

We were at Best Buy at around 5:00pm today (the 17th) and there were over 20 ppl freezing (we're in WI) in line. I couldn't believe it. I wonder what time the first person got there.
