    Worth getting the Kohl's card?

    in 2007

    Posted

    any department store cards, like other credit cards are held against you at their full spending limit when trying to get a loan, credit check etc, personally it just isn't worth it to me, especially since they started doing kohl's cash without having be a cardholder. not trying to get on a soap box here or step on any toes - just stating my own opinion, no offense to anyone.

    What do you have for your holiday meals?

    Christmas Mishaps.... Spill your beans !!!!!

    when i was in high school my mom tripped on something in my room and broke her foot the day before we were going to cut down our first live christmas tree. my dad and I wound up going to get the tree and that day it was super cold so the tree farm couldn't put it in the machine to shake the loose needles off. we get the tree home and as we are getting it into the house a squirrell ran out! we got it up and decorated it and the stupid thing fell out of the stand and right onto my poor mom sitting in the recliner with her cast! the loose needles went EVERYWHERE! we got it cleaned up and put the tree back up - it fell over again!! it was a mammoth tree and after the THIRD time the thing fell over, my dad tied a couple ropes around it, ran them through the picture windows in the living room and tied the ropes to a 50lb bag of rock salt and some cinder blocks!! it got quite the reaction from everyone who came to our house that year! needless to say our first live tree was also their last!

    i'm anal retentive about our christmas tree so the paper and bags all coordinate with our tree...both our families live an hour from us (we grew up in the same area) so everything has to be loaded up into the car and sorted by which house it is going to..sadly this means i can't put lots of bows on there :-(

     

    i *try* to wrap everything as i get it but usually i wind up frantically wrapping on the 23rd

    Christmas Tree Lights... White or Colored????

    in 2007

    Posted

    i'm ultra snooty about my living room tree - i have white lights, different sized red and gold bulbs and a fancy gold satin tree skirt - it looks like a magazine tree and i'm happily obsessed with making it look that way every year ;-)

     

    in our family room i have a fake tree where i put all the novelty ornaments - last year i bought a bunch of gold and blue ornaments at 90% off though so i'm using white and blue and yellow lights and having a WVU tree :-) (proud alumnus)
