  1. I have 3 kids, and the oldest of course got the new powerwheel, the new kitchen, new vanity etc when she was little, so we still have those things. I haven't really been buying them for the other 2, because we already have them... Well I realized that the little one has never gotten a cool "big present" for Christmas-,that you would just walk out and your eyes would light up,- so I bought her the Little Mermaid Vanity and talked Grandma into buying a new Dora Power Wheels ATV.. w-ell after I did it I realized the middle one has never gotten anything cool either, and I felt so guilty I bought her the bigger Dora Power Wheel.... (way more than I was going to spend on one present for ------any of them).... well then of course I had spent so much more on her than the other 2 and the Odyssey Globe I bought for my 6yoa looked crappy in comparison and not fun like the little ones gifts so I went and got her the Bratz car... well then I looked at the number of presents and they were way off so I bought more for the short ones to even it up....

     

    The logic seemed good at the time, but now I've spent way more than I had planned on....I know a bunch of you out there are going to talk about how good you are budgets and how I should stick with it....... but does anyone else just let it get away from you sometimes?

     

    I did that this year. I was done with my kids early (October) and everytime I turn around I see something that I have to buy for them. I keep stopping myself from buying. It was 5 presents per child and I brought an extra one for my middle child, so I had to buy another for the others. I always make sure that they have the same number of gifts and try to spend the same amount of money on each child. That did not happen this year but as long as the have the same number I am ok.:fluffy:

  2. My favorite Christmas movie is Smokey Mountain Christmas (starring Dolly Parton) the first showing is on cmt Sunday Nov 3rd 8pm...it plays a few other times on cmt but I am not sure of the times. I loved this movie when I was young.
  3. i thought i would throw my 2 cents in...i have both a sony camcorder (dcr-dvd 405) and a sony digitial camera (dsc-p52...an older model as it is 3 years old) and they are both wonderful! I am still using the original rechargeable batteries that came with the camera and they still work great. i am very satisfed with both and recommend sony to anyone.
  4. This is my 4th year shopping on BF, i do not pay attention to the ads them selves because for the last few years I have known what I wanted and where to get thanks to this site. So my question is are the ads in the newpaper on thanksgiving day or black friday itself?
  5. I see most people want to start at Walmart. I went once and it didn't work so well and there is usually a stor of people fighting. I actually try to stay far away from it. Are the other Walmarts like this?

    i have done my bf shopping at wal mart first for the last three years and have never had a problem nor have I seen a problem. and have been lucky enough to get what i went for evey year.

    Any information on hte firefly appreciated too. THANKS![/quote]

     

    my 14 year old has the firefly...got it from cingular for $75 with an instant online rebate of $75., so it was free. it is a good starter phone for kids. hubby and i love the fact that you can program it for up to 20 numbers and those are the only numbers that the phone can call or that can call the phone. the only way to change the phone numbers is with a 4 digit pin number (i programmed it before he got the phone, so i am the only one with it) it is good to have a we are using it to try and teach him responsibilty. hubby told him if he takes care of the phone and uses it like he is supposed too (he has rules about using the phone) then after a year we will get him a "real" phone.

  7. so who got to put it on layway? my store manager said they were not allowed to. A lot people were mad and left. not good for walmart, I got 2 me and the wife.

    they were allowed to be put on layaway at my local store. our store got 5 and out of the 5 sold three of them were put on layaway. i waiting for the dvd/vcr player and was watching them.

  8. Seriously!! I have bought almost EVERYTHING I need or want. I guess that all that is left is to buy stuff that I didn't know I wanted untill it goes on sale for BF!!! All this waiting( I am not known for my patience) I have had a couple of serious shopping trips!! How is everyone else holding up?

    i am in the same boat as you. i am 3 small gifts away from neing done. a record for me. i am usually not done till a few days before christmas.
