You did a good job. I really wanted to go but I would of just ended up buying clothes for my teens which they don't really need. I need to concentrate on BF deals for Christmas.

My Christmases have been pretty good compared to everyone else who has posted. The only Christmas that I can remember that was hard for me was when my son had left home in Oct. to go in the Marines and he wasn't home for Christmas that year. I was pretty depressed not to have him with us in 1998.

Or does the employees get first dibs on them?

I went through and did my entire list up last evening. I printed it out so I am all set now,,,just waiting for BF to arrive!

GottaDeal.com is being seen everywhere!!!!! I just love knowing that I am part of such a great site.

I think you will find that they only give out so many each day or week and once they reach the limit then you have to wait until the next day or week. That is what I think...since some couldn't one day but could the next.

Me and my DIL are bringing our mesh tote bags with us. The stroller is a good idea,,,but one of us will be going out to the Jeep often to put away our stuff so we don't have to carry it around the entire time.

I am going with my DIL and she has never been before. She is extremely excited she is only 23 yo. She has looked at the BF ads on here when I have been on. We printed out our list already and know where we are going. We will be in a Mall that has BB, JC Penney's, Sears, Express, Macy's, Filene's, and many more stores.

No,,we don't argue about that we have both our parents, my son and his family every year at our home.

I live to far away to take my Nana...but my she goes with my mom often. She is 86 and still drives! She moves faster than me at times.

Me and my DIL have been looking for Diego items,,,they are scarce though. I don't know why they aren't coming with my things from Dora the Explorer. My 2 gdtrs are crazy over Diego, Dora, Boots and Swiper.

Funny you should bring this up...lol I went shopping with my DIL today, I only bought shampoo and conditioner. Then this evening hubby wanted to go out to Olympia Sports so we went to the Mall. He bought a new pair of Nike fleece gloves. He was surprised when he was done and I said "you ready to go?". He was like "huh?"

Greeting Cards that are personalized or store bought? We used to have the family pic. and have it personalized when my children all lived at home. Now I just buy the ones that are personalized with a special saying and each family members name.

I do the kids and hubby's stockings and he does mine. I also do my son, DIL, and grandchildren. Mostly they get g/c and personal use items.

Hubby will get from his company sent to him in this week check a bonus of $500. or about after taxes. Then each department will give out g/c at the company Christmas party to each of it's employees. Plus we get a turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas. When I was working at one place I got $700 each year and then last year when I was working my boss gave me $500. and a remote starter for my car, $50. Applebee's g/c. He only had 3 of us working for him in the Chiropractic office.

You know,,,everyone this is going to be one long week for all of BF seekers. When ever your looking forward to something time just drags. We should spice it up with contests and such to keep our mind occupied...while we are here. What do you say?

Hubby's office party College's Christmas party Christmas party at our house for friends 2 weeks before Christmas Family Chistmas party 1 week before Christmas At home Christmas day in the morning At son's just before noon on Christmas day And I am sure we will be invited to a few Christmas parties,,,but I don't want to over do it and get sick ...so maybe one party of our friends.

I plan on staying around...but come Jan. I will be going on my clinical practicum and will not be on as much. Ugh...but then again I will be graduating from college in the spring!

A gift someone gave you? I usually have to exchange some kind of clothing each year that I get from my mother,,,it's always to BIG! lol

I try to spend the same amount on the children who live at home. But I do try to make it the same amount of gifts as possible. With my teen girls,,,it's almost impossible to match their presents with their younger teen brothers.

Hey,,,that is what I can get my 2 yo. gdtr. for Christmas along with the CPK newborn doll! I forgot about seeing that on a commerical.

That is totally weird,,,I was so scared of the movie when I was a kid. I still won't watch it. My kids all love that movie.

Did you mean me?

Oh no,,,you mean I did this to my children? lol

Hey, I am grateful just to be able to know that the GottaDeal.com let us in on the BF ads.
