I love wrapping! The stuff from Santa is wrapped in paper with Santa on it...different roll for each kid. The stuff from us to the kids is wrapped in character paper...each kids favorite character of the year. Everyone else that we give presents to either gets a gift bag or some kind of pretty Christmasy paper.

sorry it wasn't the answer you were hoping for

My hubby works as a manager at CVS and he says that you can not purchase another gift card with a CVS gc. Sorry:(

we don't have a theme either. Ours is a hodge podge. We have the typical baby's 1st Christmas, 2nd Christmas, then the ornament that we buy each kid for what they liked that year. I also have a bunch of ornaments from when I was kid that we put on the tree. I decorate the rest of the house with angels and santas.

I only buy for the main teachers. I can't afford to buy for phys ed., art, music, library. This year I am buying each of them a piece of pottery. I found a great gallery not far from me and the prices are incredibly cheap. I think I will buy the fleur de lis since living in La. it goes with everyone's decor.

Just sent my pm for the secret santa and the card exchange. Thanks Eve!

We have both and my almost 5 y.o. ds uses the leapster the most. My 7 y.o. ds played with it quite a bit but has now gotten more into the PS2. We are now going to get him the DS lite.

Both of my older boys want the Optimus Prime voice changer helmet. I'm not sure why though because they NEVER play with the Darth Vader voice changer that they HAD to have!

we put up a really pretty star that is white. I prefer an angel but dh doesn't want one. I think I'll just go buy one this year and then he can't really say anything!

I usually dress the 3 boys somewhat alike. Usually a Polo shirt (they each get different colors) and khakis. Dh has dressed like them. I think it's cute. We are all going to dress somewhat alike when we get pics taken this year.

Got a razr scooter for ds4 last night. It was marked for $22.xx and with the extra 20% off it was $20.xx. Can't wait to give it to him for his birthday!

Not much going on at my Target right now. Pools and other summer toys are 50% off. There were quite a few of the Polaroid 5 mp dig. camera for 30% off. I got 2 pks of swim diapers for next year for 2.xx each. I also got a carrying case for the Nintendo Ds Lite for 20.xx. It was only 30% off but there were only 2 and since Im planning on buying ds7 one for Christmas figured I might as well go ahead and buy this at some kind of discount. It is a carrying case and it contains the Harry Potter game, car charger and earbuds.

Feliz Navidad

I like the colored lights also.

pretty much everything about the holidays...shopping for presents, wrapping the presents, all the lights and decorations, Christmas trees. Nothing beats seeing how my kids faces light up when they see what Santa left!

thanks for posting

I spend time with my 3 best friends. They bring presents for my boys and we give them theirs. We usually have a few cocktails and watch the kids play with their new things. It's my favorite part of the day after watching the kids first thing in the morning. (nothing beats the look on their faces when they 1st see all that Santa has left) My hubby usually cooks something good for us to eat too.

thanks!

snow in South Louisiana....not going to happen. It snows here once every 10 years. I've never had a white Christmas...would love just 1.

:lmao: :sidesplit

cookies and milk for santa...carrots and water for the reindeer and we put "reindeer food" all over the yard

the mall here gives a free pic with Santa every year. I love taking the boys to see their reaction.

Yes..I usually always put a Christmas pic of the kids in with it. I don't buy many presents for people except my 3 boys, dh, my brother and niece and nephew.(and my 3 best friends) I feel like the cards let everyone know that we love them and are thinking about them.

I am pretty sure ds7 still does..he asked some questions last year but I'm hoping I convinced him..I would like just 1 last year of Santa with him. ds4 still believes without question and ds20 months will just now have an idea of what is going on this year
