Has anyone started decorating for Christmas yet? We haven’t (starts on Black Friday for us) but I’ve been noticing that more and more people around us have started putting up their lights and decorations outside already. In part I wonder if it’s because the weather has still been nice around here. How does everyone decorate? We usually have multiple trees and lots of decorations inside and outside we have multiple inflatables, a decent amount of lights and various other decorations such as bows on all the house lights (we have smart led bulbs in the lights so they get turned red and green also) and my wife dresses some of our bushes with giant Santa hats and such).

Surprised they don’t have a bigger discount. They are working on the switch replacement (ya it probably started when this one came out) but they have already chosen the cpu/gpu platform from what I’ve been seeing.

Then he can say Black Friday helped make him a star

Seems like this year everyone is last minute.

May go pick up a couple of things on the inside track days.

We do a Christmas party every year. NYE is our Anniversary so we usually do lunch together and then have some people over and have like Smoked Prime Rib. Can't believe I need to be thinking about all this already.

I'm sure at least a few people will have deals on them. I usually end up going Target and get the gift cards they give with theirs lol

Can't believe that it's already November. Before I know it the year will be over again.

I think the one I will always remember was our Plasma we got in 06. We waited in line, got in the store and tried to get it and someone had got the last in store one. Was super nice to the person helping me so he said tell ya what you can it delivered and setup on Saturday and they even waived the delivery charge.

RUDE Selfish people.

Have to say I was hoping for better appliance deals. We might get a new fridge this year our current one is acting up and will become the garage fridge.

Really weird that we are this late in the season and nothing to really speak of.

We do these almost every year: Candy Cane Cookies 1 cup sugar 1 cup butter or margarine, softened 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon peppermint extract 1 egg 3 1/2cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon red food color 2 tablespoons crushed peppermint candy canes 2 tablespoons sugar Pre heat oven to 375F Stir together 1 cup sugar, the butter, milk, vanilla, peppermint extract and egg in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Divide dough in half. Stir food color into 1 half. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Stir together peppermint candy canes and 2 tablespoon sugar; set aside. For each candy cane, shape 1 rounded teaspoon dough from each half into 4-inch rope by rolling back and forth on floured surface. Place 1 red and white rope side by side; press together lightly and twist. Place on ungreased cookie sheet; curve top of cookie down to form handle of cane. Bake 9 to 12 minutes or until set and very light brown. Immediately sprinkle candy mixture over cookies. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Then we hear Santa Brad start to rap...

My wife and I are the same way with stuff usually, if we really want or need something we get it. She says I'm impossible to buy for because I don't ever really want anything. We try to give each other some things we want and then not go get them ourselves lol. We are looking to do some trips for us and our daughter this Christmas since she's getting in her teens now and doesn't want as much (she has too much stuff already)

Congrats

I think it’s stupid none of them have discounts for current members. I’m dropping my Sam’s to the lower level this year. I do t go there enough to justify the more expensive one anymore.

Hopefully the flood can come out now.

What makes me laugh is the Digital version is only like $50 less, now if you want to add a blu-ray player to it you can for $80 at a later time. Why not just buy the better one and have everything already there for $30 less money?

It's crazy that NOTHING has come out as of yet. Someone needs to leak something soon.

Used to be Best Buy but they lost me years ago. Now we usually hit up Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowes, Sams Club. Sometimes we will hit up some smaller places. This year I don't know that we will get to any of them and most of our shopping will be done online.

You can now shop BB&B online and they will have WAY more stuff no one wants as they were bought out by Overstock

Honestly outside of them printing pictures for a reasonable rate with coupons there is NOTHING in these drug stores that is not seriously overpriced.

Congrats

1: OMG I can't believe someone left this DVD player here and I GOT IT. 2: Anyone seen Jr? I think I last saw him under the coats at Macy's. 3: HA and they said we couldn't go buy a new TV in our PJ's after watching football all day and night on Thanksgiving. We showed them.
