My older daughter's birthday is December 27th.

I wrap them along with all the other presents, but use special "Santa" paper, different tags, and I write out the tags in very fancy handwriting.

I'm always fiddling with the tree, moving ornaments around, etc. Anyone else?

Target & Walmart, then into the mall to get my 2006 calendar and maybe hit Old Navy.

I usually only order from them when they have free shipping.

Isn't that the truth!

I have a basket near the front door that I put the cards in. We've gotten a whopping 2 cards so far this year. Of course, this is the second year that I haven't sent any out, so that may have something to do with it!

I don't know if I'd call it a "deal", but it's a decent price. I paid $19 at Target on Black Friday.

Everything except for two huge "Santa" presents, which we will wrap on Christmas Eve after we bring them up from the basement.

We let the girls each pick out a new Hallmark ornament every year. This year we're also starting the tradition of opening one present on Christmas Eve (not jammies though).

Sorry, didn't know. I figured that 'Holidays & Holiday Shopping' would be the appropriate forum. These are not JUST offline deals.

Dove!

A few things that were ordered online, but those will be paid for as soon as hubby gets his next big check.

I got our cat a little stocking from Petsmart filled with Christmas-themed cat toys.

I don't give my children clothing as "gifts"; clothing is a necessity that is my responsibility to provide.

In the basement.

I normally wear an 8 in Old Navy, and I'm a 6 in American Eagle.

I believe the Big Toy Book sales ended the day before Thanksgiving.

Don't forget your $5 off $25 TRU coupon!

My Toys R Us carries Playmobil.

My girls are 5 and almost 8 and they still play with their Little People sets from time to time!

Exactly.

At 5 years old, I think the Little People one would be a great choice, even without BF prices.

How old is your son? Fisher-Price makes a cute Little People Noah's Ark that is much more reasonably priced.
