I really hope no earlier then last years times. I am not fan of these early times. We host Thanksgiving dinner so I will not head out shopping until after the kids are in bed and the guests have left.

We also do all the decorating inside and out Thanksgiving weekend.

We are thinking about getting Disney Infinity for our kids as group gift but not sure which console to get it for as we have both the xbox and the wii.

I have to agree. Our kids want one and I may go put one one layaway soon.

Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer Vs Jack Frost Shrek The Halls Vs Charlie Brown Christmas Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July Vs How The Grinch Stole Christmas Little Drummer Boy Vs Frosty The Snowman

Here are my choices: 1- Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer 2-Ruldoph Shiny New Year 3- Ruldoph and Frosty's Christmas in July 4- The Little Drummer Boy 5-Frosty the Snowman 6- Twas The Night Before Christmas 7- Santa Claus is Coming to Town 25-Nestor- The Long Eared Christmas Donkey 9-Meiser Bros. Christmas 10-A Charlie Brown Christmas 11- How the Grinch Stole Christmas 21- Year Without a Santa Claus 20-Whinnie the Pooh and Christmas Too 14-Prep and Landing- 2010- Secret Santa 15- Prep and Landing- 2011- Naughty and Nice 17-John Denver and The Muppets

Walmart has a nice bundle going on right on line for the regular sized Dsi, comes with a bag and 2 games. I just ordered 2 for my kids.

We start Thanksgiving after dinner and continue through the weekend. A house in my town has already started putting up their outside deocrations earlier this week but have not turned them on yet.

I am out shopping less with the earlier times. We host Thanksgiving and have family/friends over. I do not to rush them out of the house to cut my time short with them because the stores are opening earlier on Thanksgiving. If I see a MUST HAVE item that is on my list that may only be a couple dollars more than the BF prices I will go ahead and pick it up. Last year I went to the Walmart at 10 pm on Thanksgiving, picked up the movies and games I wanted and then went home and went back to bed. Hubby and I got up around 5 am on BF morning and headed out shopping to shops that were 20 to 30 minutes away and we were home before 10 am. When the stores opened at 4/5 am we were out shopping until mid afternoon. Another thing with people being up all day on Thanksgiving and then being up all night shopping, I am surprised there are not more car accidents where the driver fell alsleep at the wheel.

If they open that early then I May miss out some things as I will NOT go shopping that early since we will still have company at our house.

Last year my we got the 4GB with a call of duty game for $199 on Thanksgiving morning. Granted the 4GB space goes fast but my DH but a large flash drive to plug into the xbox and that solved the space issue.

Spending the day shopping with my hubby and getting all the great deals.

In our house their main gift comes from mom and dad. Santa fills their stocking and brings 4 - 5 smaller gifts each. We tell our kids that they can ask Santa for whatever they want HOWEVER just becuase they asked for does not mean they will get it. We have explained that Santa has so many kids to deliver gifts too they he can not grant every request. He also has to take into consideration how good they have been, how much stuff they already have and he knows which items requested are really wanted and which ones were requested because so and so has one (he doesn't grant those request nor does he grant live animal requests)

We eat around 4ish.

Congrats to the winners!

1. OK... now we will start the bid for the next TV at 1 shout and 2 shoves. 2. HOLY CRAP! I just relized I am at the WRONG Store. 3. Dad!!! Really ... I am old enough to walk around store now!

Ace Hardware - Oct 24th

We will be spending about the same but will be getting less over all as some of the items wanted are more money.

Me TOO!!!! Among a few other places. I am sure I will run into you at one store or another!

Thankfully neither of my kids want anything on that list

We set a budget per kid and spend according to their wish list and budget. Some years they get a lot of smaller gifts and others they get one big gift and a several smaller ones. We also reserve some of the items on their wish list for the grandparents to get since every year some or all of the gransparents will ask what they want/need.

Well if they dont have anything I need to get at a decent price then it will be one less store I have to stop at. I dont shop much at Target through out the year anyhow so if I didnt shop there during Christmas it wouldnt be a big issue to me. Will have to wait until the ads come out before I will decide if I will shop there or not.

Same with me!!!
