Little bump to remind everyone the fun starts tonight.

New code good through 10/27/13 Q55VGMDK

I've always liked the "Dirty Santa" theme - joke gifts between a certain price range. Things like a nose soap dispenser, Butt/Face towel, etc. can be so much fun to open and laugh about.

I think this says it all... http://www.ksat.com/image/view/-/22549718/highRes/1/-/maxh/360/maxw/640/-/ugdmdxz/-/No-shopping-pledge.jpg

Awesome tips!

This 8pm thing seems to be the norm this year... I DON'T LIKE IT!

Dashing to the stores With a wallet full of cash Hope I do not crash!

Glad to see so many new people joining our wonderful GottaDeal community! Welcome ALL!

I think their new "Add on Program" will cause a lot of people to drop Prime completely (unless of course you are a die hard Amazon shopper like me!)... Still irritates me, though!

So sad that he died at such an early age... makes the movie even more special to me - as I so loved his art.

Always wear a GottaDeal shirt - even if I'm shopping online!

I feel like most... don't mind it online - but my time with my family on Thanksgiving is precious to me... not giving that up!

Has anyone seen Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage? It's a Hallmark movie and it is really good!

Great find! Looking forward to this sale!

I love Christmas Vacation, followed by Scrooged, It's a Wonderful Life and several others. (Although I pretty much love them all.) Anyone have any all time favorites?

Found several things in this sale that I've been looking for! Thanks... getting excited!!!

Looks like 8pm is becoming the new norm. Puts a big crimp in Thanksgiving with the family.

Dear Santa, I have been REALLY good this year, I would like a Hula Hoop, Slinky, Lincoln Logs, A talking Mr. Ed Ride on Pony, Colorforms, Barbies, and a bright pink bike. (I'm over 49 but under 51... a girl NEVER reveals her true age. LOL!)

Who Me?!?

I am soon to be in the same boat as you... my youngest will graduate High School in January - so not sure what next year will bring. My husbands kids live far away, but my 2 oldest, 31 & 28 bring their kids over on Christmas Eve each year and we either have brunch or an early dinner, then open presents and play family Christmas Trivia and Bingo for goofy prizes for the winners. We have a blast, and they get their kids home in plenty of time to watch a Christmas movie and get ready for Santa to arrive. It will be different when none of them are here on Christmas morning... I am dreading it. But imagine hubby and I will still have my mom over to open gifts on Christmas morning and have a special breakfast together and then later a special Christmas dinner... it won't be the same - but I will always do the "Stockings" and special gifts from Santa - even if the kids are on their own.

ADORABLE! I LOVE sock monkeys! Wonder if they will offer this online? We don't have a location near us, and I really want these!

Looks promising for us shoppers! Thanks for the links to the great articles!
