cotinkandy1 replied to Brad's topic in 2008
Black Friday is here One crazy lady to fear DEALS is all I hear I can't wait -
I have used this site in the past....It is really cute and the lil ones really liked it. I also like the letters I could print out. After my DD got her 1st letter from Santa she wanted one daily......So needless to say I used every means possible to come up w/ different little letters for her.

How do you budget for Christmas money? How much do you spend?
cotinkandy1 replied to jarerice's topic in 2007
No I don't set a budget.....I try and find the HOT items selling on Ebay and grab them if I can. Last year it was the PS3 and Wii's and elmos that helped with my shopping expences. With 6 kids saving all year is hard to do....But DH will work all the overtime he can!!! Gotta love him -
Cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. But last year I forget to grab carrots so my DD who was 4 left blueberries out for them...lol. And santa always leaves the kids a note thanking them for the snack and telling them to enjoy their gifts and have a Merry Christmas.

Last year I had an old fashion tree....white lights, red & green checkered ribbon as garland. the old fashion oil candle lights, bows, and ornaments. My children usually pick a different thems for they trees in there bedrooms...Last year my DD who was 4 has a Strawberry Shortcake tree and she picked a teddy bear theme for here nine month old sister. The boys had a football tree. Who know what will happen this year??

Yep ...pics with Santa is a must. I know they are pricey but our local Wal-Mart does them for free. And the Background at our's is really pretty and the guy who has played "Santa" the past 2 years is great with the kids. He also looks wounderful!!! After I get my free 5X7 I got to the machine and print some xtra for the grandpartents and a few wallets. The santa at our local mall dose not look or act the part.....which in my oponion stinks!!!

My DH says I go WAY OVER BOARD!!!! I have 6 children the 2 little ones get the most about 15. The older ones gifts cost so much more so They get about 8-10. And of course lots of little stocking stuffers!! My parents go way over board.....they spoil all there grandchildren ("I guess they still like playing Santa") Probably about 10-15 more gifts a piece.
-
I like all white on my tree....and the inside and outside was red and white last year. I change color thems quit often. My kids like multi-color so this years will probably change.....
-
I have so many things I really enjoy.....but seeing the smiles on my children faces all through the holiday season is precious.....decorating, baking with them, singing christmas songs, and of course the presents.

Well this year my 2 oldest boys r moved out on there own.....my 14 and 12 year old boys will be the tough ones....there r so nosey!!! Last year there stuff was at my parents so I'll probably do the same this year for them. My 2 youngest girls 1 1/2 and 5 don't know how to be nosey so I just make sure they can't run across something by accident.
-
My 4 older boys do not but the 2 little girls still believe.....It will be sad when they are 2 grown not to believe anymore
-
I really enjoy wrapping the gifts really nice. Although the gifts "Santa" brings for the kids are decorated much nicer than the ones I wrap for family and friends...lol Well thats what the kids tell me anyway.

I usually start the 1St of November!!!
