I hope you start cheering up soon. I was get sad around thankgiving and christmas too because of my Dad's death. He died Dec 12 going on 3 years now. But over the past years, I have learned to try and keep my Mom happy and in doing that, it maked me happy. I am also very focused this year on getting everything my kids on for Christmas without breaking bank. I have a plain in place and so far so good. This year is going to be somewhat smaller than pervoius years. So I am making more fun things to do, like baking, taking the kdis shopping so they can buy something for eachother and special clothes. Just doing the little things makes everything brighter for me. When I look back over my childhood christmas, I don't think about what "santa" brought for me. I think about helping my mom make cakes and candy, helping wrap presents, buying the perfect christmas dress, seeing my parents reaction on what my Gram let me buy for them. Try doing the little things and take everything one day at a time. I really hope you get to feeling happy soon! Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!

Eve What names have you sent out? And are you emailing the names or pming them? I just want to make sure I do not delete your email.

I didn't see this thread!!! I know I will need it.

Can you tell me what kind of laptop this is? Do you have a link to it?

I wanted to start this thread because last year on Thanksgiving, I had to log on because I really needed some help. I was about to make a major screw up on what ever I was cooking. I remember being in full panic mode by the time I got on GD. So this year, we will all have a place to come for help. LOL So when you see this thread bumped close or on Thanksgiving, it means someone may need your help. (maybe me again this year)! LOL Does anyone have any cooking tips to share? What is everyone planning on cooking? This year I am making the sweet potato casserole again, a cameral cheesecake and a apple-pecan cheesecake.

It really depends on the store. I was confused at first too. But I am in Mobile Alabama and what someone posts in another state is usually at my store too. Look at all of the end caps through out the entire store. Look for things that have a red sticker on them and scan everything. And it's very addicting. I love frinding deals. The holidays, school and summer clearance is for the most part in the same schedules. Around the same time for everyone. Same the the back to school toy clearance. Those are the best and if you can hold out, wait for the 75% to come.

Very cool, thank you!

Same goes for me.

Mountain Dew has a new promotion where you get a free NFL team cap when you send in three caps of the same team from 20 oz bottles (team cap requested doesn't have to be the same as the team on the caps). This will be more difficult than just sharing codes since we'd have to mail caps to each other, but if we pool our resources, it will make it a lot easier to get a free team hat. Eligible to those in the following states: AR, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MI, MN, MO, MS, ND, OH, SD, TN, TX, and WI. http://www.mountaindew.com/ This is just an idea for those people in the above states.

Wow, you did really good! WTG

I bought all of mine last year at Target when they were clearanced out at 75% to 90%. I like the Target ones. They haven't failed me yet.

Thanks for sharing. I needed some ideas too.

We do stockings, but then on Christmas morning we always forget about them. Last year for DH and my Mom (she spends christmas with us), I go them lottery tickets, the scratch off kind. They were a big hit. We never play the lottery because we don't have one here. I have to drive over the state line to get them in FL.

I never thought about giving something to our bus driver. She is so sweet. I think I am going to give her something this year. Maybe something to put on her Christmas tree.

I can't wait to go shopping. I am waiting to buy until I get my names!!!!!

You email it to Eve.
