Only if you want to ok that with EVERY person who gets in line behind you. It's ok to swap out but I'd be kinda mad if there were 15 laptops, I was number 15, but because someone was holding a spot in line I didn't get my laptop, KWIM? :)

Man, you got jipped.

it's better than nothin', right?

I'm waiting to see the walmart ad before finalizing my plans.

No, I don't tell him...but he doesn't ask either.

I like to be home on Christmas also. We used to have to drive an hour to get to my grandmothers by noon and them another 1.5 hours to get to my other grandparents by supper. While that's not as bad as being as far away as you guys, lol, we ended up spending most of the day driving and visiting relatives that my kids didn't even remember what Santa brought them because we were in such a rush all day long. For the past 3 years I've made a rule that we don't leave town on Christmas day. That first year we missed Christmas dinner with both of my grandparents but for the past 2 years they have decided to have Christmas dinner on another day when everyone can be there and it's turned out great not only for us but everyone else also. Long story short, I'd feel the same as you about wanting to spend Christmas at home. Try to remember though, that your husband really may not understand where you're coming from. You may have to convince him, lol. Is there any chance you can trade it in for a cruise at another time of the year?

My mom uses whatever box she can find to wrap presents. It's not unusual to find that she has wrapped a scarf in a hamburger helper box, cracker box, cereal box...whatever.

My sister's birthday is on Dec. 21 and even though she will be 25 this year she would kill us if we dared wrap her presents in Christmas themed paper or used a Christmas themed gift bag.

Not unless you also have a brandsmart near you. Of course if you did have a brandsmart near you I'd assume you'd just go there and get it, lol.

no Ulta stores in Arkansas

Aha! http://www.ulta.com/control/main

What is Ulta?

still available in my zip code also

One of my cousins always wraps something in duct tape (lots of it) for my aunt because she is known for using waaaaay too much tape so that it's hard to find a seam to open the gift.

It wasn't me...I swear.

Did you ask her if she had seen any of the ads yet?

Here you can email Santa your list and he will reply back. http://www.cardsforfun.com/writesanta.shtml

I have order from abc in the past and they ship the same as LTD. A seperate box and shipping charge for just about everything that I ordered. I have not heard that Lakeside does that.

Yea, I wanna know how to make this casserole.

After opening gifts at our house (really early) we go to my parent's house and exchange gifts and eat chocolate gravy, bacon, and biscuits.

There's a whole thread around here somewhere about people being "dissapointed" so far. And here it is: http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=51691&highlight=dissapointed

I look forward to the Lowes ad every year. They've had some great maglite deals for the past 2 years.
