If we're thinking of the same thing, they had a sale the weekend before BF last year, matching other BF ads. The sale was supposed to start on the 22nd, but the prices all changed the afternoon of the 21st. I remember my cousin was very upset over the Skylanders because she was so sure they would run out of them and she couldn't get there on the 21st. I stopped on my way home from work and picked them up for her.

I'm impressed with the compromise.

I'm waiting on BF, or at least my BF plan, to shop for my SS. I do plan to go shopping for the OE this week, so she'll hopefully have her gift before she puts her tree up .

Have you ever checked out Oriental Trading Co? The quantities may make it not worth it, but you might take a look. http://www.orientaltrading.com/

They usually do, but it's via lightning deals and such so you really have to be paying attention or you might miss the deal you're hoping for.

Yay!! Thank you so much!

Thank you for the info. Now that you say that, I believe he had said Chromecast was what his boss was telling him about. One of these days I'll learn to trust him, I guess .

I've never been a big Kohl's shopper, but I actually have a list from their ad this year. My question is, if we shop online, do we still get the $15 Kohls Cash for every $50 spent?

Do any of these devices allow you to go straight to the web? My son watches a few shows on some anime (sp?) website. He doesn't like the delay in mirroring the computer to the television. Is there a small streaming device that would allow him to go to that website directly on the tv and watch his shows? Am I even making sense?

I understand camping out for a few days, if that's your thing. I can't see it ever being my thing. If I'm camping out, there's not going to be concrete under my tent, and there better be a lake withing walking distance, LOL. Because of that, I have to say my time is worth too much to me to spend 3 weeks in front of Best Buy.

I don't like the staggered sales. I understand why they do it, but y'all are right - who wants to go to Walmart 3 times? And, if you want a hot item on the 2nd or 3rd wave, chances are you have to be there a couple hours before the 1st wave. You miss all the sales you wanted to hit because you have to spend 16 hours at 1 store.

Thank you for adding my marker!

I suggested moving ours to Saturday this year, but that didn't work out because someone had to work (Of course, we have someones that have to work on Thanksgiving Day also and we didn't change it for them, but that's a different rant...). Thanksgiving is usually with my aunt and cousins, and my own kids are never there anyway. It would not bother me in the least to change the day we get together, I just love getting together. Christmas is my more immediate family. My mom, my sisters and I, and our kids. Since our kids are getting older and 2 of them are married with families of their own, we decided to start doing Christmas dinner on the Saturday after Christmas. That way the kids don't have to worry about getting from this dinner to that dinner, and what time is what, and having to hurt anyone's feelings by leaving early. We will also always know that our Christmas is happening on that day, so don't plan anything else and schedule off work in plenty of time. Of course, my sisters and I will probably still go to my mom's on Christmas Day, but our celebration will not be until Saturday. I completely agree that the day doesn't matter. It's the family and why you're getting together in the first place.

I just bought the train, and I'm so excited to put it around my tree this year. I really want the additional cars to go with it, especially this one! (sorry this picture is so big. I kept trying to resize it, but it still pastes here as a huge pic).

I have a Bluetooth speaker on my desk, that is linked to my iPhone. I prefer that to a docking station, so that the phone is not tied down (so to speak). Having said that, I don't know what's best. Mine is "Creative" and I haven't had any trouble with it.

Do You Hear What I Hear?

I thought he had said he had something going Saturday, so the webcast would be on Sunday this week. I very well could have made that up though.

So, apparently I'm not smart enough to figure out how to drop a pin on the map (I do not see the menu with the teardrop). However, I will be shopping in the Moore/Norman, Oklahoma area.

Personally, I keep everything at my office for as long as I can.

Received an email from iHeart Radio today with several Christmas music channels available. Listening to A Country Christmas now! http://www.iheart.com/perfect-for/activity/50-days-till-xmas-192199634/

I have so much to be thankful for! I am so thankful that God forgives me for forgetting to be thankful all the time. I am so thankful for my family. My mama, my sisters. Especially my sons, my daughter (in law) and my grandsons. And I am so thankful that none of them have ever had to worry where their next meal was coming from or if their needs would be met.

We bake and ice a LOT of cookies, and make candies for treat trays. Other than that, there aren't a lot of extras anymore. My kids are grown and starting their own "extras" with their children .
