So makes me think of Festivus

Those 2 months are going to FLY.

Welcome back

We usually have the first fake tree up but not decorated before Thanksgiving then it gets decorated BF night after we have napped. The the second fake tree goes up within the next week or so along with the outside decorations and then if we get a real tree that's usually a few weeks for Christmas and then goes to the tree dump after the new year. Our front room where our large fake tree is has a winter/Christmas theme all year round. As a matter of fact this past year we left the giant tree up and took all the light and decorations off and my wife has put other things on it at various time. I'm huge into Christmas so I personally could leave it decorated all year lol.

Ya in 06 it was WAY more than that. Has been an awesome TV and I found it in the ad's here. Ah the memories

Awesome thanks for the info.

It's just going to become Black Week at some point I've said and I stand by I refuse to give up my family time and Thanksgiving day so I'm pretty sure we will never get Doorbusters again. On the bright side it was much easier for us to shop last year we went out our normal times and walked into most every place lol

Not sure of the dates but I think we will see Half Price Books, then a toss up between Harbor Freight and ACE Hardware for me. Wal Mart should just send out the notice here weekly. Something like We think you're thinking about it so don't even do it. Sad because to me it helps build up the anticipation, the people out here searching the net trying to plan are the ones who are most likely going to be the ones out buying stuff why not reward them.

Just sent the Doc McStuffins Check Up Center to my wife. Thinking we will be picking this up for our daughter she loves her and we planned on getting her some doc stuff. Target has it on sale so might pick it up this week.

Decided to change mine up to fit the season here

I could go for that. I have a 50" Toshiba I bought on BF in 2006 needs replacing.

I just looked it up and it looks like it's brand new. I guess it was introduced at this years toy fair and is now hitting stores. I watched a little video on youtube. Looks neat.

I know in years past someone did the map with pins in it online. That way cool Gave you an easy way to see who you need to be on the lookout for that might snag your deal before you lol.

I predict Brad will be sick of Black Friday in 3...2..1 lol

We got our daughter one of those playschool bug looking cars you ride in and push around with your feet (she's 2) she still loves it was driving it around the house last night. She has a bunch of other stuff she uses every day still. Then again she is still small.

Wesley Chapel / New Tampa FL

Did you deliver on Dec 08th? That's my daughter b-day she will be 3 this year.

You know the funny part I HATE huge crowds but for some reason B.F. is different to me. I refuse to go out on Thanksgiving though so I have determined I will never again get a Doorbuster. Ah well so if life

We have gone Christmas Eve shopping (More so me) but it was more out of OMG Christmas is here and I need to finish shopping lol. My wife and I have been in the habit the past 4-5 years of going out and shopping for each other for the small things (some clothes, and other various low dollar items) pretty close to Christmas. I head one way she heads the other way and we meet at the exits. Shopping soon is going to get more complicated outside of BlackFriday, our daughter will be 3 just before Christmas and the past couple of years we have been able to take her with us to finish shopping for her. Now she remembers when she see's things she thinks are for her. We will think she forgot something and a couple weeks later she will ask us where it is lol. BF the grandparents usually come over and watch her for us.

I still think part of the fun of it is people watching and the tradition of it. In todays fast paced world with things always changing it's nice to still have something we look forward to do every year. All the time I spend here waiting for the ad's, talking about the deals, talking about whats good merchandise what's junk, planning what stores we are going to hit for what, making our list, waiting for the real paper to come out and pouring over the ad's and making sure everything is set. Then getting up WAY to early after a long day previously, going to stand in the line for the first store we want (ya not as much since they started opening Thanksgiving which I won't give up), seeing all the other crazies like us out there, getting awesome deals and finding that one item someone tried to hide in a microwave in BestBuy so no one else would get it and they could come back later (HAHAHAHAHA I FOUND IT - True Story), then about 7AM heading over to Cracker Barrel to eat and plan out our next moves. Shopping till 12-1 in the afternoon then going home and going OMG that thats a huge pile, then starting out wrapping and getting things ready for the tree. Online has become a little more of what we do now, we also come home and find all the things we couldn't find in the stores online and order them (sometimes same price, sometimes cheaper) heck I've even bought things online from my phone while in stores the past couple of years.

You can also buy them from SquareTrade. I have used them in the past for my MacBook, when it broke and the cost to fix exceeded the value of the laptop they gave me back what I paid for the machine (I bought it used on eBay) which was awesome.

Mulan is awesome

I have a TiVo DVR and they have a thing called wishlists, you setup keywords and it will find shows with those words in it. I have a Christmas one and have been checking it more lately and recording some things here and there.

Excellent choice on the GPU, actually the same card I have told my wife I want 2 of for Christmas for myself, I will be running them in Crossfire. I've done a lot of research on them and came to the same conclusion on price/performance.
