Whatever I think I can't use in the future I donate to people I know don't have alot of $$ for ornaments. Pay it forward right;)

Pictures are never a problem for me here. I am a photograper...therefore, I do them myself. My kids all gripe the same words everytime...NOT AGAIN MOM...lol

The day before Thanksgiving. I use to put it up Thanksgiving evening but since I fould my love of BF I have to put it up before! Nothing can interfer with my BF shopping! LOL

Of course my 10 yr old will be wearing her GottaDeal.com tshirt she won on here. I on the other hand will be wearing the fake one I made last year:tongue1:

No budget here. I can never stick to a budget for Christmas. But, lets keep that between us and not tell the hubby;)

Every year our tree changes its look. Last year, since I have a house of hunters we had the hunting tree. There were deer, bears, elks, moose, and the tree topper was a head of a deer that I found thirsting though a store. I just mounted it to something and hollowed out the center to fit onto the top of the tree. Covered it with camo material and it looked wonderful. For garland I went to the fabric store and brought some clearanced out brown and green material. I cut the material into strips then braided it. The lights on the tree were gold and green. I am sure you are all saying ewww right about now. Since I am not a hunter myself I was that way while doing decorating the tree. But when all done it was awesome. This year I am decorating the tree with all clear glass ornaments. I am going to use blue and white lights and top the tree off with silver icicles. I always put a ton of lights on the tree. And the lights through the glass ornaments with be beautiful.

Unfortunately, the closest any of the good stores are, are about 1 hour 20 mins away, so I have to pull myself off my pillow about 1:30-2am to be in line around 4am. But, yes there is a BUT...I love it!!!!
