I just need to get a travel coffee mug for my hubby's stocking and order my SIL's gift then I will be done.

we have a christmas each year.

At our house we have stocking for us and our daughter. We also have a stocking for both my parents and my DMIL. It just seems more fun this way.

How about adding cheese to your mashed potatoes, making a green bean or broccoli casserole? Instead of regular corn, make some corn muffins and add the corn into the batter. Bettycrocker.com has some great recipes for the holidays.

I do most of it. Hubby and I will shop together for our daughter but usually I do the shopping of gifts for our family and friends.

I enjoy the coke and polar bears and I like the ones with the M&M's and Santa. He does exist - they do exist.

No and I don't think I could. It would be to hard to decide what to let them open. Nope, they have to wait until Christmas with the exception of one gift on Christmas eve.

we usually get in line between 30 minutes to and hour before the store opens. I have to wait for everyone to show up at my house and then we head out.

Being with family and friends and just having a good time in each others company.

I watch them all. Always have but now my little girl will sit and watch them with me.

We have always put out the gifts on Christmas eve after our daughter goes to bed. She would have opened anything we put out even it was for someone else. Now that she is a bit older we may put some out the week before and the rest on Christmas Eve after she is sound asleep.

Our daughter is only 4 so we will be filling her stocking with little dolls, chap stick for kids, bubbles, bubble bath, crayons, coloring book, cheese crakers and maybe a few pieces of candy.

Samething happened to me this morning.

We took advantage of the nice weather yesterday, and strung lights around the house roof line. We also notice several of neighbors doing the same thing yesterday.We will finish putting up our ouside lights and decorations next weekend. We will not turn them on until Thanksgiving weekend.

Yup....some of the items were packaged in very large boxes...wagons, etc.

Here is a good breakfest casserole Ingredients 1 pound loaf Bread 8 ounces cream cheese 1/2 c.sugar, divided 1/2 tsp. vanilla or almond extract 1/2 c. chopped pecans, optional 4 eggs 2 c. Milk 1 tsp. cinnamon 2 TBSP. butter, melted Directions Cut bread into cubes. Place half of bread cubes into greased 9x13 baking dish. Microwave the cream cheese until melted, stirring midway. Stir 1/4 c. of the sugar and the extract into the melted cream cheese. Pour this mixture over the bread cubes (will not completely cover the bread)Sprinkle nuts over the cream cheese layer. Top with remaining bread cubes. In a bowl, beat the remaining sugar, eggs, milk, cinnamon and melted butter together. Pour over bread cubes. Freeze at this point or let sit in refrigerator overnight. Bake at 350 deg. F for 35 minutes. Serve with warm syrup or fruit toppings

YUP ..... my daughters favorite movies are Santa Claus 2 and Frosty. How an I say no when a 4 years old asks to watch Frosty so nicely. Besides I am a Christmas nut so I can watch them any time of the year.

My sister-in-law and best friend from beginning to end while hubby will join us after Walmart when we stop by the house to unload before heading to the other stores.

I would love a white Christmas. Start snowing on Christmas eve and end Christmas night. Doesn't have to be snowing the whole time. Off and On would be nice too. Haven't had a white Christmas in 7 years.

I found a few cute ideas on a website organizedchristmas.com that I will do for my daughters teacher. On is called "We Whisk you a Merry Kissmas" You buy a whisk from the store , fill it with hersey kisses, cover it with saran wrap, tie ribbons on the end and include the tag. Very cute and very inexpensive and we will be doing the snowman soup for her class mates. She is in preschool so there are not alot of kids in her class. Hope this helps.

Depending on time I get home, sometime I can sneak in a nap. We order dinner, since we got MIL for T-day there are no left overs. Afetr dinner, we put up the tree and start decorating until to I am to tired to continue. Then I will crash and watch some Christmas shows.

OH so very true!!! These are the worst!

AMEN to that!
