are you sure we are not sisters???? My kids tell me the same thing all the time

I have 4 kids and depends on the wants, They each get the same amount of presents, ones my cost a little more the the one of the others, so any where from 300.00 to 350.00 per kid although I am almost done with two of them and I have barely broken 200.00 on each

My husband and my son have decided that this weekend they will go up in the attic and start to put the stuff out. They usally wait until it's in the negative outside and ice forms on the face to start. This year they want no part of that. we will see if they really do it. LOLOLOLOL So what your plans for the outside

I know around here it is strictly volenteer, And if it is for Community service thats Great that they do it. There offenses caould not have been that bad, and every one deserves a chance to redeem themseleves during the holiday's

Giving comes from the heart not the pocket book. If you give what you can then there should not be any guilt there. The bell ringers know that for every 5 people who walk by maybe one will put something in the bucket. Every year here in town some one puts a Gold piece in a bucket, They have no clue who it is but it has happened every year that I can remember

Thank you I found two tart burners for 7.50 that I had been looking at

I live on the border of Illinois and Iowa and I can tell you that there is sometimes a price difference between the two states. It all has to do with the demographics of an area. I rememeber last year BB had those 149.00 puters I beleive and niether Illinois and Iowa had them by me they had a different ad altogether

I have so many, from the dated ones that mean so much as the dates to the ones that my children have made for me

one more thing off the older boys list hooded sweatshirts I bought 2

I have worked very close with two different orginazitions for Christmas, One is toys for tots, and the other is through the school nurse who does food baskets, for Thanksgiving and an adopted a family for Christmas. I find that most people when they give, they think they are giving a lot. And this happens alot with toys for tots, but what you will find is a lot of 1.00 store items, Now granted there is nothing wrong with buying from there, But for the same 5.00 they will spend there on one toy they could buy a child a toy that they will play with. Dealing with children and parents of low income I see this all the time. The saying has always been it's the thought that counts. But try telling that to a 3-7 year old who believes in Santa and all they want is specific items and Santa doesnt bring it. So I try to give these children things that they want and that they can be suprised with that Santa thought enough of them to honor what they wanted, When I buy for these families and when I sort through the toys for the needy I always ask myself is that what one of my children would want.

Thats because you are dealing with children and as most children these are the things they want, They are no different then yours or mine. I try to look past the high price things and still get them something. It's sad that these children would need to ask stangers for things that they think they want and to try and have some of the things that other children they know have.

years ago I went every once in awhile, nothing big nor exciting,. Then a few years ago when my oldest turned 12 we ventured out, not really for anything, The next year we added my mother in law, now she doesnt go all the time. One year we added my daughters 6"5 friend she was a big help getting DVD players from over the heads of others. LOLOLOL. With my daughter it has been every year since and one of her friends, My mother in law every once in awhile, but she has a hard time keeping up. My daughter brings a friend. Last year we added my son and my hubby. Not sure hubby will be up for it this year he hated it. My son, needs to learn it's every person for them selves, as when they opened the doors at target he was letting all the woman in before him, Till My daughter said go and started to push him. He wants to redeem himself this year, and now my 10 year old wants to go I might let her as I am done with her shopping and she still believes. My older one and I like to see how many stores and get things we can with in 1 hour and then how many times we go back to walmart before 11:00am last year it was 6 and we had been to Walmart, Target, Menards, K-,mart, and toys R us

There are always good buys that weekend even with out the door busters

I do this and sponsor a family, I also work with toys for tots to be sure that the families that live on the properties I manage get at least one toy. Some of these moms are very lazy and could care less if their children believe or get.

Five different lottery tickets,

Well this year I am going to do what I see on TV I am leaving hime Cheese
