I get mine sent out the first week in December!

We spend about $75 a week for a family of 5. I do ALOT of coupon clipping. Yesterday when I went to Kroger, I saved over $60 by using coupons.

I have a PO box and mine was in there today!

This is EXACTLY what we do each year!

If my DH doesn't have to work that day he does go with me shopping. He enjoys it as much as I do!

My kids end up with about 20 - 30 gifts each (and we have 3)...Most of them are not on the expensive end either. They each get one "big" gift and we tend to spend between $50 - $125 on those.

That would be one of those "priceless" moments. Have the video camera ready....

I'll start wrapping gifts once the tree is up. Some of the kids gifts will wait to be wrapped on Christmas Eve.

We have 3 children...depending what is on their wish lists, we spend between $200 - $300 on each. This year, 10 year old daughter is wanting a nintendo ds lite. The boys ages 5 & 4 aren't too expensive...YET! I'm about 50% done with their shopping and now I'm awaiting Black Friday!!!!

Before it gets much colder outside, DH is going to hang the icicle lights (maybe this weekend) but they won't be turned on 'til everything else is up and set up....which will be Thanksgiving weekend. The tree goes up and all decorations will be out also!

Yesterday, I saw that Wal-Mart has them for $129.82. My daughter is also wanting one....

We have about 38 people to buy for!

Is it for the family where the tornado went through and the mother laid on top of her 2 children to protect them and then became paralyzed when the bricks came crushing down? I remember seeing something on the news about it.

Thank you...ordered these for my dad and going to save for Christmas....He loves LHOTP and has most of the books....

I LOVE going shopping the day after Christmas...it's just like going on Black Friday.

I finished ALL of my wrapping last night....YIPPEE!!

I tape all of our Christmas cards on the door frame going into the kitchen.

At my daughter's school, they have a thing called Santa's Workshop where the kids can buy gifts ranging in prices from .25 to 10.00 for anyone they want to buy for.

We watched Christmas With The Kranks the other night. The kids also have Santa Claus and Home Alone...I'm sure they'll be watching those soon.

My tree and inside decorations are all up. Outside is all finished except for I keep finding more outside stuff when I go shopping and just have to have it...so I keep adding on more to the outside decor.

My kids want one of these...I'll check out Wal-Mart or K-Mart.....

My daughter is asking for the Cabbage Patch Babies and Bratz.

We have a white Christmas tree with clear lights and blue and silver ornaments.

We are going to K-Mart in a little while also. We went late last year and they still had all the sales available and it wasn't crowded.

I always buy store bought cards, but personalize each one that we send out with "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Love (our names)...Then I include a Christmas photo of the family.
