I don't have a problem with them. We have one with the safety netting but it is currently in storage because our lease says it is against the owners insurance. As soon as we get moved we will have it back out for our kids to play on.

Ok, I have one response to the emails I sent yesterday. NBC5 DFW has GD on thier links site. No story yet, but hopefully soon! http://www.nbc5i.com/holidays/5281355/detail.html

Here's an awesome site with TONS of breakfast casseroles. http://www.bbonline.com/recipe/casseroles-breakfast.html Also search around there are a lot of other great Bed & Breakfast style recipes on there.

After, there's no way I am standing between 4 kids telling them to come eat some eggs and wait on all of that Ho Ho goodness under the tree. Lol. BTW: I haven't had chocolate gravy in oh... say, probably 15 years. But I do remember it being wonderful:D (saying I remember having something 15 years ago just made me feel old)

If you order this there is a $5 MIR in the November issue of Better Homes and Gardens mag in a small pull out coupon section. :) Tag this along with the 15% and you'll be getting the machine for right at $20!

I just emailed this to all of the DFW area tv stations. Maybe it'll get GD some airtime;) http://www.gottadeal.com/ http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/ Get Notified of Elmo T.M.X.

It's the happiest time at the old North Pole The chimney's all smoking and covered with snow. There's a secret up there...one that abounds On old Santa's favorite grounds. It seems Mrs. Claus baking brownies one day Got the recipe wrong. One elf in fun play Threw them outside. Put a sign on that read... "Reindeer Poop Brownies!" and what happened next Will blow the hat off your head! Now here comes the story...get a chuckle or two Of the man who fell into Reindeer Poop Goo! This is his story... "It was right after Christmas I thought I would go... Up to the Pole To walk in the snow... But when I arrived... I found the ground was all brown With snow scattered patches On my face was a frown. Soon - not long after My nose found the smell Which surprised me somewhat, For it smelled... Oooh! My! Well! Getting down on my knees I took a good whiff Then I stuck in my finger And good gosh and good jiff! I gave it a lick Stuck some close to my nose Closed my eyes. It was not What I would have supposed. It was soft - it was gooey It rolled on my tongue As it slid down my throat I truly felt young! It was poop so delicious And tasting so grand... I filled my mouth full! I was King of the Land. With a loud belly laugh I rolled on the ground I could hardly believe The riches I'd found. Miles of poop droppings As wide as the sea. And it all smelled and tasted Like a chocolate brown-eee! Quickly, I started To pack up my sack With the poop when I felt A large slap on my back!" "Whatcha doin' young fella?" Santa asked with a grin. I could see reindeer poop Sliding down on his chin. "What I'm doing is enjoying This stuff is swell! I'm wondering, sir Are you willing to sell?" Old Santa chuckled And smiled with delight "Well son, it may be What you propose is just right." We went to his office We talked through the night We discussed how poop royalties Might help Santa's plight. "Mrs. Claus is unhappy. She's says I'm too fat I've got to stop eating Reindeer poop. And that's that!" The elves love it too They eat it all night And I can't get work done When they "Reindeer Poop Fight!" "And there's something else, son The Pole needs fixing too... So if you're really serious... Here's what we'll do." And there on the spot We worked out a deal. I got the world rights For the poop! What a steal! Taking a puff from his pipe And nodding his head Santa smiled broadly While the papers I read... As we both signed our names Mrs. Claus and the elves Came in to watch - smiling In spite of themselves. For they knew they would miss that chocolate-y smell Of the reindeer poop brownies They had all loved so well. Then the transfer was done. Reindeer poop was all mine. Santa grinned broadly. And I really felt fine. I packed up my sack and brought it back home For you all to enjoy... Reindeer Poop... Nice and Warm! Santa is pleased. Mrs. Claus too... For they can now share Reindeer 'brownies' with you! Now you know the secret! And you'd better not tell! That poop isn't poop... It's brownies...they're swell! Bring smiles to the faces Of your friends with a scoop... Of reindeer poop brownies! Hey! That's brownies! Not poop! Dry Ingredients 3 cups oats (quaker oats) 6 tablespoons cocoa powder 3 1/2 ounces flaked coconut Liquid Ingredients 1/4 lb butter (not margerine) 2 cups white sugar 1/2 cup milk (not skim milk) Put all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, stir together well. In a large pot, bring the liquid to a boil. Then take off the stove and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Pour the liquid ingredients INTO the DRY ingredients and mix well until everything is wet. Use a teaspoon to spoon the cookies onto waxed paper. Let them cool and they will harden somewhat, that's it! makes 36 poops

We also make joke bags for the neighbor kids. One says: You've been naughty that's the scoop all you get is snowman poop. (tied to a baggie containing mimi marshmallows) Other: You've been naughty that's the scoop all you get is reindeer poop. (tied to a baggie containing raisins) Here's one for your kids: Use milk duds or malted milk balls. Christmas is coming along with santa and his deer Listen closely on Christmas eve and maybe you will hear While Santa leaves his gifts tied with ribbons and bows The reindeer leave these droppings in neat little rows.

Our kids get to open one present from us which is always a new pair of jammies (so they look cute in thier pics Christmas morning) also we let them open anything from out of town relatives. As far as leaving goodies for Santa it has been a variety from cookies & milk, to choc milk & little debbies to coke & a cheese sandwich lol Also the kids will run out and make a trail of reindeer food leading to the house. Mix 1c. oatmeal, 1/4c.sugar, 1/4c. red & green sugar crystals and a little bit of glitter (3 or 4 tbsp) Sprinkle on the lawn at night The moon will make it sparkle bright As Santa's reindeer fly and roam This will guide them to your home.

I posted the link in her original thread maybe she'll make it over here and get one.

That's a great deal! I might have to get one to put up as an emergency gift. Thanks! We need to forward this to GatorPam she had a casualty crockpot yesterday and is needing a replacement :) Edit: I fwd'd it to my mil too. Thanks!

I want one of those big Santa's so bad but I never get to go shop on the day after christmas and they are always all gone by the time I get to go. And of course being the frugal gal that I am I refuse to pay full price But, your stuff looks GREAT! I want to get my things out but I will never hear the end of it from dh. :)

I will stash what will fit in our closet or I will have dh take it to our storage bldg. Last year we had the kids bikes and trikes at dh's fathers house in a spare bedroom. As far as wrapping if it is from us I will wrap in whatever and hand write the tags. But HoHo stuff gets wrapped in Santa paper and a different kind for each kid with no labels. I will remember who's is who's then saparate them into "piles" on Christmas eve. I try to make a list of gifts, usually for the kids I will put thier names and a tick mark for each present, but everyone else I will put thier name and what we got them. :) ETA my list also stays in my purse.
