elena_398 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I always get a coffee from McDonalds and head home. Unload/hide the items in the garage then go to bed. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntJamelle Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I run to hide the presents I've purchased for DH. Then I collapse on the couch with DH and zone out by watching TV for a while. Then I gather what energy I have left and get up to go through all of my purchases again - to remind myself what I've gotten. This usually gets my energy level up again and I continue working on decorating the house for Christmas. (I usually start on Thanksgiving night or a couple days before) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler99199 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Ask wife for a foot massage from my long day in lines J/K I believe as everyone else has said get something to eat but no time to sleep. While eating I try to back track over my list and make sure I did not miss something. Sometimes go back to certain stores to see if something might have been returned I wanted or see something else I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smangham Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Go out to eat lunch somewhere really good, then come home and nap. I leave all the goodies in the trunk until everyone is gone and then I get everything out, update my lists of "need to buy" and start wrapping!

darkkan Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I usually come home around 3-4pm, eat a leftover plate of Thanksgiving food and get my sweet husband to rub my feet. We always decorate for Christmas that weekend, so we do that the next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krstee Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Last year, I didn't go to bed after we got home from Thanksgiving at the in-laws, so I just showered and headed out to wait at Walmart (thank goodness this one was a 24-hr one and I could wait inside). After I finished all my shopping (I was by myself and DH was at home with our daughter), I came home and crashed for a few hours. After I got up, we went out and did some more shopping. DH hates crowds, so I am suprized he wanted to go on BF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoXmom Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Sleep, sleep, sleep!!I'll usually grab something to eat inbetween stores, so when I get home I'm not hungry , just tired. I leave everything in the back of the Explorer and just make sure it's covered and lock the doors. With the dark windows and being covered no one can see what's back there.

msharpsteen Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I head home and force hubby to play "guess how much I paid for this one?"-he claims to hate that game, but I love it!!

amez74 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 My sil and I have been going together for the last few years, since we are visiting for thanksgiving. We go back to her house unload all the stuff while my husband takes the kids to grandma's. Then he and grandma come down to look at all the stuff we got. Dh usually tells me what I missed or should have bought more of--so sometimes we go back out. Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Jami* Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Well My friend & I drag everything into her van quickly so her kids don't happen by since they only live a couple blocks away. Then we drag all my stuff. After she leaves I go like a mad woman hiding stuff & the crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
