we have 2 burning bushes outside in our landscape.. but cant say it looks anything like that. :)

Aww thanks. :) I wrapped some empty boxes to put underneath. Now the boys want they're presents to look like that. LOL

Here's ours. Guess I didnt realize how bare it was till I saw a photo of it. LOL http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o108/dmmiller_photos/Tree-1.jpg

dotd - Deal of the day I got a jacket for $23 today :)

This sounds like my DS9. He's my middle child and the most outgoing boy I've seen. He talks to anyone (which sometimes worries me), and sometimes he can annoy the crap out of you.. but you cant help but love him. He also wears all the crazy hats and clothes, and I constantly think this is going to get his arse kicked.. or made fun of, but its the complete opposite. (thank god) He has friends ranging from kindergarten-high school. well the high schoolers arent really "friends", but they'll stop by and throw football with him or stop and have a short conversation and joke around with him. (sorry this is off topic) But as for any odd requests, I cant think of any right now. But do enjoy reading this thread.

Sorry to hear that scanner.. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family

aww, thats great. Hope you have alot of fun, which I'm sure you will. :) (I went to see the nutcracker when I was a teenager. It was awesome!)

If you click on that link, go to "color" and you'll see the other style available. HTH's.

for the dad.. what about some hand tools? Not really sure what your planning on spending on each, but you can probably find a nice set at sears 50% off. A comfy pair of slippers, maybe a robe, gloves, cologne/body wash set.

got 3 sets of cards.. they look great! :) Waiting on 2 more sets and my dog tags yet.

We got our washer, but the dryer is backordered till March! We had some run-arounds to go thru, but thankfully a nice manager at our sears honored the prices a week after the sale. The 800-customer service was a joke. Still waiting on someone to call me back.

My picks: Round 1 Christmas Vacation Home Alone Elf The Grinch The Santa Clause The Polar Express Deck the Halls Jingle All the Way

Oh I'd be tempted to call that in again. How dare he come into your place of work, and talk to you in a threatening manner. I dont think i'd feel very comfortable with him delivering anymore packages to my house, Complaining could make it worse, but also if you dont complain, he just got away with it. kwim?

I think i'm going thru a slight holiday blues. I'm just not "in it" this year. Not sure whats going on. I guess all the stresses and pressures I was under this past fall didnt help, and I dont really feel like they've gone away. Doesnt help that DH isnt a christmasy person either.
