Please remember, the deadline for shipping your gifts is Saturday. If, for any reason, you won't be able to ship by Saturday, please let me know ASAP.

I finally have my cards ready to go. I just have to go get some stamps. Speaking of the cards, this guy: http://forums.gottadeal.com/topic/277085-secret-santa-2017-official-discussion-thread/?p=1359003 asked for the address list for the cards back on 11/14, and that was his one and only post on GD. Does anyone else think that's weird?

Wittenlover, that's a LOT of baking. We do a lot of cookies (just sugar cookies with buttercream icing), but not THAT many. LOL Last night, I made billionaires for the first time. They are really good, so tonight I will be making another batch. Still to come are turtles, Christmas peanut butter cups, and candy coated pretzel rods. And, of course, the cookies .

I have scheduled this Sunday to wrap . It will be an all day affair. But I will put on White Christmas, then Holiday Inn, then watch a few more of the Hallmark movies on the DVR, and get it knocked out.

My Secret Santa went all out! I am so happy with everything! I received: Sweat Pea lotion, Dr. Teal's bubble bath, a good smelling cinnamon candle, an OU coaster (Boomer Sooner!), peanut clusters, a magnetic note pad, HOMEMADE COCOA!, and an adorable cocoa mug. I cannot wait to try the cocoa. Thank you SO SO much! http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/ts1852/Photo%20Dec%2004%2010%2034%2012%20AM.jpg http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/ts1852/Photo%20Dec%2004%2010%2043%2043%20AM.jpg

I started my candy making today. Did peanut clusters, and cordial cherries. The cherries take 2 weeks to set up, and I've never tried them before. Hoping they turn out well. http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/ts1852/Photo%20Dec%2002%205%2024%2002%20PM.jpg So, what are YOU making?

https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/chocolate-covered-cherries/ I got them started. I'll let you know in a couple weeks how they turn out

The email says "limit 15". Last year, I think I bought more than that. Do you think that limit is just online?

We have 3 in my house, each with a different name. I find it's kind of like hollering at the kids. You always start with the wrong name.

We have 1 week left to ship. Personally, I'm waiting on 1 thing to be delivered then I'll get mine in the mail. I still haven't bought my cards yet, but I promise I will get them out before Christmas .

I believe their big candle sale is tomorrow. I've seen conflicting prices, but the 3 wick candles should be less than $9. Last year, I bought WAY too many, and yet I will be buying more .

I'm going to make my first attempt at chocolate covered cherries this weekend. They take 2 weeks to set up and get gooey inside. Wish me luck!

It has always seemed odd to me that they leave the doors open on the truck. Especially when they come in to my office, so it's not like they're just going to the door. I agree Riven, it's like they're just begging someone to steal something. But I guess they've decided it's worth the risk. Here in Oklahoma (I assumed it was all over the country), this has been a major problem the last several months. Almost every day, there's a new story or security video on Facebook, of what they're calling "porch pirates".

Yay GatorPam!

Congratulations Kanyon and Giz!

Congratulations winners, that's awesome!

I stick around all year, but that doesn't mean I'll remember to post in this thread. SO, yes, I'm setting up a calendar reminder.

I returned to work today, and my ornament was waiting at my office! It's a beautiful Christmas door that says "Christmas At Home". My person also threw in some peanut clusters (my favorite) and packed them in a super cute Christmas box. I love it all, and I thank you so so much! http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/ts1852/Photo%20Nov%2028%209%2013%2026%20AM.jpghttp://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k499/ts1852/Photo%20Nov%2028%209%2014%2024%20AM.jpg

I love this idea! Thanks!

I got my village up last weekend. Today I will work on the tree. I don't do much outside, but I have some lights I might put on the porch.

There were a couple server glitches this past week on the site, and I think they affected the private messages as well. I saw a couple emails that I had pm's, but they aren't in my inbox now. So, if you sent me tracking numbers and I didn't acknowledge it, please send them again. Also, if you posted here that you received, please make sure your post is still up. And, please please be sure to post here when you receive, even if you are not planning to open until Christmas. Thanks y'all!

Chiming in on the "Thank you"! This site has saved me so much money, and given me so much entertainment over the years. It can't be easy keeping it all organized and running. Thank you thank you thank you.

Well, I’ve got my ticket. I’ve been here about 45 minutes. They said they have “plenty in there”, so hopefully there are a lot at all Best Buy’s and you all get one! Sent from my iPhone using GottaDEAL
