I wish I could afford to adopt a family for Christmas. We have problems having our own. I did place an ad at a Beanie Babies site a few years ago and got donations. I put them with stickers in little bags and gave them to hospitals. Thats probably the most I could do.

I agree, I think I will print out my list from here and take the ads.

Photo places also do these online. I use Snapfish alot. They have alot to choose from.

When I sell on Ebay, I give them 10 days to get payment to me. That includes Paypal. If I hear nothing from them by the 3rd day, I email them with a reminder. I have 330 positive, no neg or neutral. I am sorry someone did that to you. Bad business. Please the person buying or selling by maintaining contact. Hope to do business with you sometime...

I have bought extras for last minute gifts for those who bought you something and you didnt expect it. And I always buy 2-3 kids deals for birthdays throughout the year.

I would spend it on a night out with my husband that we havent had in a year. I would love to get some romantic time. Dinner, dancing, and who knows...

My mom has a room that she puts all gifts she buys throughout the year and on BF. That room is a standard bedroom size and she piles high to ceiling. Does anyone else have a room just for your BF or Christmas gifts?

I usually make little baskets of treats, movie tickets or maybe a really nice ornament. My mom has a room full of goodies she buys for teachers gifts for her grandchildren.

Waiting essentially is all in your head. You can last a few hours for a great deal. You are done when you get home and you still have the deal. I would wait 4 hrs.

Its all about the excitement for the good deal. And to be done with Christmas shopping within one day....

I always do. No matter how hard I try not to. I always end up broke on December 25th and pray someone gives me cash or gift cards for Christmas.

Our tree is pre-lit so I cheat. I just put up and have the kids decorate with their handmade treasures. This year its silver and blue.

In my living room in front of my bay window.

I take my 2 younger sisters and my mother. I tried this by myself when I lived in Kansas. Wrong answer. Recruited my best friend and she said it was the most fun time she has ever had. Now, I find it easier to take the mean sisters with me to get the job done. Who do you take?

I usually wear jeans, tshirt, hoodie, Nikes and a little pack under my sweatshirt with all necessities in it(card, keys, DL). My hair is long so it goes up in a clip. I dont fix it really. Brush it out and up in the clip. No makeup. Waste of time trying to be pretty when its 3am and you havent been out partying all night. LOL..

I have 3 kids and we usually give about 10-15 gifts a kid. Now that everything is getting more expensive, I need ideas that are inexpensive but still cool. My son is 11, my daughter is 8 and my other son is 3. HELP!!!

I have alot of gifts to buy for people I know but not well and those that are acquaintances through my husbands work. What are good gifts for those people or a proper amount to spend?

My sisters and I with my mom stood in line at Walmart, then Target, then Kohls, then Sears, then Michaels. Then home to sleep. I want to get the Light Sabers for my nephews. Oh my sister will love me for that.

We usually go between Target and Sears... about 30 mins from each other. And scarf it down in the car. But they should have discounted breakfast or lunch.

Me too. He hinders my shopping process. He told me he would never go because he would hurt someone. LOL....

I have gotten the grandmothers sweatshirts or tote bags with the grandkids names on them. This year I am doing calendars with their pics from Snapfish or one of those kind of places. I always think they need something expensive but they would rather have something sentimental.

My 11 yr old son wants cds, dvds, xbox games, light sabers(the $125 kind) and a scooter. He will probably get that and more. My 8 yr old daughter wants the same but Bratz slippers and pjs, Barbies and a scooter. She will probably get all of those. My 3 yr old son wants anything with blue, dora or wiggles on it. He is obsessed with Tony Hawk for some reason, so he will get little skateboard guys. We are getting them portable dvd player and a new vcr/dvd player for the playroom. They dont get their own in their rooms. They would never go to sleep.

I shop all year. Its easier on the checking account that way. My mom is the same way and she gets alot of stuff.

We usually go over ours at Thanksgiving dinner. My mom goes out in the morning to get the deals at Kmart and then we have dinner. We go thru the ads. My sisters are fierce that day. One of them is totally road rage. I just laugh while I am piling WMs cheap toys in the cart.

I am in bed at 10 and up at 2-3am. Depends on where we are going first.
