Oh brother, where art thou? For those of us that shop family style!

No, as I have already gotten my hands on the 5 I wanted. Not scalping, but for my son to play and one to keep in package as he collects all things Nintendo, one for a friend as a surprise gift for his wife for Christmas, and the other 3 as give aways in drawings for my schools for positive behaviors. I don't want to be greedy for myself...but always willing to help others, I did text a couple people that are looking.....

I just left my local Walmart and they had 8 on the shelf ....ready to be sold! Might want to check your local Walmart today.....

This a twisted version of your favorite cinnamon roll recipe! Candy cane rolls! My family LOVES them, and I created this version when my boys were tiny, and yet it is their favorite request every year. I have used peppermint candy canes as well as the " red hot " cinnamon variety as well. I batch of your favorite sweet roll dough or even loaves of Rhodes dough thawed works beautifully. Roll dough into large rectangle cover dough with 1/4 cup melted butter and 2 tbsp vanilla I box crushed candy canes sprinkled evenly over the dough( pulse in a blender) Roll and cut as you would regular cinnamon rolls,proof and bake according to dough recipe used. Let cool at frost with a standard buttercream frosting! Enjoy!

I realize many people have to take their children with them shopping or else they cannot go. I have witnessed some pretty bad situations with people shopping with kids. I have seen one newborn being cradled in a mothers are as she reaches into a bin of towels at Walmart getting struck in the head several times. I have seen many children getting yelled at because parents are stressed and tired but desperate to get their needed items. The presents don't seem to be that fun to me at that point, or a fun experience. The first year I took my youngest he was 16 and 6' tall and he came out of the video display with a black eye. Yes, I was standing with him. This is small town Utah.....not a larger city with many more people. To each their own, but I was so grateful to have a husband that wanted to stay home with our kids!

Ok, so while most years I order between 50-75+ orders from Amazon.....not last year! I just checked my history, and my order were very few( in comparison). I am hoping for some fantastic items, and selection to make me feel the love for Amazon again.

I can honestly say that I have only made 1 or 2 purchases in store at Kohls. The store just causes me anxiety to shop in and check out. Not even including high peak shopping times like Black Friday. I make several orders online, but just cannot handle the store!

Oh! The memories of being responsible for my daughters, I remember I was on a hunt, and we were being very quiet, when all of the sudden her pet needed attention! Ugh! I thought my husband was going to flip! Yep, I am getting her one just for fun!

I was able to purchase 4 more , and sent my son after me to grab one for his girlfriend for Christmas! So I am hoping my students will love them in Decemeber! I now have my list finished......Brad, ready to shop for more!

I will be making more purchases this season for our new home as well. I run with Alexa, nest, ring, and Schlage door locks and my "q" garage doors. . I want to be adding more cameras, and proabably more outlets. I spend so much time alone in my home, and we built this one for my "safety" of being home alone......I really utilize everything I have gotten so far.

Were you able to get your hands on one yet?

I have a very good reason for asking.....thinking about it as a reward at a school for positive behaviors. We acknowledge students good behaviors, and enter them in drawings. We know that they are a hard to find item.....but are k-5 kids even going to be interested in winning one?

Good grief......I might need an intervention! I picked up 6 fingerlings, got my hands on 2 SNES systems, and pre ordered some silly thing called LOL big surprise ball. I love shopping! I am finished with our gifts, these will be fun random additions for Christmas Eve bingo!

College tuition 30% off? Seriously, I am excited to see a great deal on the new Amazon show......maybe a new IPad Pro deal!

Please don't wait that long if you really want one! Be actively shopping right now as it was released last night!

I know the first choice for everyone will include " peace, love, health and happiness" for everyone....and I wish those for all. However as I am working on my gift giving lists, I panic at the thought of what I would like. I have a list in my head at all times of things I would like to buy for myself, home, miscellaneous things I would like to try, UNTIL it gets to be near the holiday or my birthday. Then it goes blank..... I know there are things I would like? To receive as a gift? It just feels so awkward....... What gift would you love to receive?

We have a window fx projector and love it. When we built our new home when had power run up to our dormers to allow us to use them In Windows we aren't " living" behind.

It is so interesting to me to think about how lists change over the years! As kids grow, and your family becomes larger. Jobs change, and the coworker/ employee numbers change with it. Right now I am: 14 family 14 coworkers that I supervise 3 co worker/ work exchanges 7-10 neighbor types 4 -8 friends Plus my husbands list. Guess I better get BUSY!

2- cannon T6 camera packages ...one for daughter, one for son. Amazing gaming chair & snes preorders for son I have my list ready for what to finish with for everyone. Right now it is a matter of time to see who is coming home, and what I will need to ship.

For those of you looking for the preorders of the SNES.....DON'T give up! I was able to place my preorders yesterday successfully. It looks like Amazon And Walmart created new links to the item page, to avoid "bots" ordering all of them. So don't give up, and maybe look at different options for notifications.

Did your orders get cancelled?

I am excited to know as well!

I was one of the lucky ones at GameStop this morning! It was amazing!

So Santa is coming to my house after all! I was able to get my hands on one for my son! I had tears in my eyes and felt so excited! Wooohoooo!
