My favorite memory from last BF would have to be sitting here trying to recall everything that had happened overnight and tell everyone all about it instead of laying down and falling asleep like I should have done!LOL I camped inside WalMart from around 6pm on Thursday til 5am Friday to get one of those laptops!LOL The stories were great and when I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer, I went to bed!

If they actually attack me...it's on! If they just try to take something from me, they will have to wrestle for it!LOL

I got one of the tv/dvd combos(Symphonic brand) last year from WM on BF and I absolutely love it. We have had no problems and for the price, it's great!

We always go to Denny's after our last store and then home to wrap presents and take a long nap!LOL

We watch the parade every year. It's a tradition for us.

I try to bake enough extra every year to make up baskets filled with candies, cookies, and breads to give as gifts to teachers, neighbors, coworkers, and family members. Does anyone else still do this? If so, what kinds of things do you bake?:)

I watch Christmas movies all year long and look for the first signs of Christmas decorations from the time the stores put away the school supplies. I would love to have Christmas decorations up all year. Hubby and kids make me wait until after Halloween, but that means that Nov. 1st, all of the Christmas things get put out!LOL I'm listening to an Elvis Christmas cd now!LOL

I try to get them out the first week of December. I usually have so much going on from there until Christmas I will not get around to it if I don't do it early.

I love wrapping paper, bags, and boxes. I am always trying to think of something new. And I can't stand wrapping two presents the same, even if just the bow is different.LOL

I think it was around the middle to end of October last year! But I am ready for them anytime now!LOL

That actually sounds like fun!LOL:yup:

Sweats and tennis shoes. If it's really cold out, a hoodie. If it's not too cold, a t-shirt.

Usually around 3am. But last year I waited inside WalMart from 6pm Thursday til 5am Friday for that @#&*% laptop!LOL

Since I have two trees, I will use 2 kinds of paper. I am decorating the white tree with pink, I will probably use silver paper with pink ribbon. That's where all of the girls' presents will be. For the green tree I use traditional ornaments, so I will use plain brown shipping paper, with red, green, and plaid ribbon for all of the boys' gifts.

My mother goes with me and everyone else is just happy with what they get, so they don't think I'm nuts any more. Well, since I spent the night in WalMart last BF, they are kind of wondering about me again!LOL

I always make Radio Shack my second stop for all of the neat stocking stuffers and to stock up on all of the batteries I will need!

Woohoo! Welcome to all of the new members and welcome back to all of the returning ones! It's great to see everyone here, and I am happy that we have quite a crowd from TEXAS!!!LOL My hometown is the beautiful Paris, Texas! I am married and have five kids at home, one not at home, and 2 stepkids! We have five dogs and a cat. I love BF and this great site!

I like that idea!LOL

I've never heard of the Mummers either.

Stupid move on WM's part!

This year I am hoping for a new sewing machine and maybe a new camcorder. And I am hoping that everyone is pleased with the gifts I get them.

I cook all of the holiday dinners and the family comes to our house. It has been that way since I moved away from home, got married, and had kids.LOL But I prefer it that way. I like cooking and I love eating Thanksgiving dinner.

What Holiday events does your city/town have? Which ones do you and your family attend? We have the Annual Christmas Parade, Winter Wonderland, various concerts and plays, and a few others. We love to go to as many as possible.

I also use AllRecipes. I have always found anything I am looking for on there, except for a pie my Grandmother used to make and I haven't been able to find anything like it anywhere.

I can't imagine what Dallas is like on BF!LOL I stay away from there as much as possible because of the traffic and crowds on a regular day!
