  1. I have not had a good fruit cake in years, I have to admit it is an aquired taste.
  2. in order to keep you in the spirted, I have a special rudolph purse I carry through Christmas, My santa cell phone cover I have added all my Christmas ring tones to my phone, and changed the main page to Christmas on my phone, I have brought down my tub of Christmas sweaters, shirts and sweatshirts, I am almost to the point I can wear one every day and not repeat from Thanksgiving till Christmas. Rotated the DVD's and moved the Christmas ones to the front. I think thats it but I know I am missing something, Kind of like I know there is a box of decorations missing that didnt come down from the attic, I have to get up there and look.
  3. I hate the fact that my Mother and Brother are no longer with us, I hate the fact the rest of my family is do far away that we can not spend the holiday's with them, I hate the fact that my Father in law decided that he and my mother in law should travel to Texas for the winter and they left yesterday and wont be back till April. It wont be the same with out her. I hate the fact that to many people are alone on the holiday's with no one. I hate the fact the Holiday's only last 30 day's the sites, the sounds and the food, to much to do in so little time
  4. How about a nice basket with a huge towel, slippers, soothing music, and bath soap and stuff, So she can get away for a few in her won tub
  5. Dumb question, If you have a large family and more then one person wants the same item for Christmas and you have people waiting in line with you, I think you should get what you you waiting for, Example say they were having a door buster on on GBSP and I had three little ones and I wanted one for all three, I couldnt get one even though I had three people waiting in line with me,
  6. Just as wrong as I have never seen a christmas story
  7. I am sitting here baking and watching the revised version of Miracle on 34th Street, It has come to the court scene and the Baliff looks just like my Brother, Now mind you in 4 days my brother will be gone 1 year. But I swear he is a ringer for my brother, Help me now I am seeing things

  18. of the four you posted there is only one I have that is Christmas with the Kranks, I have just bought the Christmas Shoes and I have enjoyed it so much
  19. I have learned that things are not always what they seem, Every year the nurse at the school helps about 100 or so families with Thanksgiving and Christmas. She has a not for profit orginazation she runs every year, I help with the help of Toys for tots to get 1 toy per child, to go into these baskets of gifts she buys for the families. When she gave me the list of names of the children I was shock to see a family, I know this family has money and live in a nice house and all. So I questioned her about it as I am a firm believer that only those in need should recieve, Well in June dad got hurt, he couldnt work and has had major medical problems., They have done everything they could do to keep above the water, and need just a little bit extra help. Dad just went back to work, and they are just starting to get back on their feet. So don't judge people by what they wear, drive or live because you never know when luck turns bad.
  20. Thanks Becca I just post what may be good deals,
  21. The unwrapped gifts and stocking stuffers always come from Santa, then there are about 4 presents that also comes from santa but then then also depends on who may presents they get
  22. I can tell you my two daughters 9 & 19 and my son 16 nor my husband or I use text at all. So I cant see how the only reason they want it if for that feature they all know that costs and we all share minutes
  23. You can not order on line any of the Black Friday ad, Its right on the main page of the web site, It tells you which ones you can and can't and the door buster and the 4 day sale is one of them, I wanted the rod and reel combo for my son and the closet store is 4 hours away
  24. See I agree and thats what I did with my older daughter when she started driving thats when she got the phone, Then high school sports hit and we needed to be in contact with the son as when to pick him up and he was always using some one elses phone. The nin year old has one because the bus comes at 8-18 every morning and I have to be at work by 8-00 so she calls me when her little brother and her leave the house and then calls me when the bus is coming so I know they are on the bus. And I leave her sometimes at dance and if she gets sick she can call me to come early to get her, Trust me she doesnt make very many calls I stated last night she uses that phone 10 times a week just to call me, But I have peace of mind.
  25. It depends on you and your child, My 9 year old has a regular cell phone she got it before school, Although she knows she can not call any one unless I know,. And know one calls her, When I priced the firefly phones versus a regular the firefly was the same price and had very limited capacity, with Virizan we all have those phones and and she has 5 numbers from those, plus my two offices, her daddy's office and her grandparents, so thats nine I think the firefly holds 3
