So do we PM you?

I want in too!!!!

Any tips for beating holdiay stress????

I collect Santas.

Each year there are lots of extra candy canes floating around the house. Any suggestions?

Do you open your presents on Christmas eve...or do you have to wait until Christmas morning?

How Long do you leave your Decorations up! Do you take them down right after Christmas or in January or after? Our is after the first of the year. There is just to much going on!!!!

My all time favorite is National Lappoons Christmas!!!!!!!!! I watch it every year when we are putting up the tree. Whats your?

I do both, but mainly I go buy lists!!!!!

So how do you wrap? Do you have a method to the maheem????

We use a fake one every year. I bought 2 new ones year at Target's clearence.

Do you send them out?

Of course DD 3 does, but last year DS 9 cornered me!!!!! I knew when he asked that he already knew the truth. I was honest with him. I told him how important it was to play along for his sister. He was such a good sport!!!!!

We leave cookies and milk. What about you?

I would love a white christmas!!!!! It snowed here on DD first christmas, but nothing to write home about. I live in the very very south Alabama. DS wants to leave the day after christmas and go somewhere to see some snow. We might!!!

Santa pictures cost so much at the mall. Last year CVS did them tons cheaper and we bought them from there. I think it's nuts how high priced the mall is on pictures. What about you?

I love looking at the lights. And seeing the kids eyes light up when they first wake up.

Santa brings the big stuff and we buy the little cheaper things.

I had this problem last year. I had no idea what to buy. I didn't up getting candy and the 20 questions game. I was given a toaster. What do you buy?

How do you budget for christmas money? I save up change. I do the surveys and it Target's clearance. I try to get everything with just one pay check. I get paid bi-weekly. I would like to say that I only spend 1000.00, but I know I always end up spending more.

How many gifts does Santa bring? We try to keep it to a limit of 4. But it's hard, since DS 9 wants a WII this year. They cost so much. Santa can get DD 3 everything for that price.

I try to start the day after black friday. last year i bought tons of stuff at 90% off at CVS and Target so we have lots more to put up this year!!!!! I can't wait.

The thing that sticks out in my head was last year was DH's first BF. We were at Walmart. Got there at 12:30. Got everything we wanted and started searching for everything that was wrapped up. We had 2 buggies full. Well I did. I was pushing one and pulling the other through all of those people. I lost Dh, he was getting the 68.00 Tv for out bedroom. I must have looked like a mad person, all 110 pounds of me with all that stuff.

My DH comes with me! HE likes it too.

so are the purses
