elena_398 Posted September 11, 2006 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
AuntJamelle Posted September 11, 2006 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)
JBKing Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Meet DW and go somewhere to eat, then come home and start putting up Christmas lights outside.
tyler99199 Posted September 11, 2006 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
genoandkiddo Posted September 11, 2006 Posted September 11, 2006 Sleep, then go to our parade of lights.
smangham Posted September 11, 2006 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!
krissy72 Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 I go out to eat at Cracker Barrel then go home and try to take a nap.
Tessangel Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 I have to go with everyone else. I eat then take a nap!
neice0510 Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 I go with girlfriends of mine on BF. After shopping we go out to eat. And then go home to relieve our husbands from the kids. Usually don't get home till 3-4pm. So no nap but I go to bed early and leave the unpacking the van till the next day, when the kids aren't around.
Talama Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 HIDE THE GIFTS!! Then I usually relax and watch a holiday movie.
Melissa Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 HIDE THE GIFTS!! Then I usually relax and watch a holiday movie.Same here!
starshine Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Stash the goods and lay on the couch for about on hour.
darkkan Posted September 19, 2006 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.
krstee Posted September 19, 2006 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.
ShopperMom Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Relieve Grandma from babysitting, them hope that the kids are tired so they will take a nap so we can too lol. Then we always put up our tree that night.
NeepNeep Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Eat, then sleep. Sometimes sleeping while eating
motoXmom Posted September 20, 2006 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.
berry1014 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Eat, take a nap and then set up the Christmas Tree and decorate.
JazzMama Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 We usually stop for breakfast. Then, when I get home, I rest for a little bit. Then, it's nothing but holiday music and decorating for the rest of the weekend!
artesian Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Always an hour nap for me and put up the tree in the afternoon.
msharpsteen Posted September 20, 2006 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!! Then I get so excited I usually head back out for more shopping, just in case I missed something or shelves were magically restocked....
thmain Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Look at all of the bargains I picked up, take a nap, and then go for lunch somewhere.
love2beurwifey Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 We go out to eat and then go home and I go through everything I have brought that day to make sure I did not miss anyone
mtallen Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Eat, sleep, then watch Charlie Brown Christmas!!!
amez74 Posted September 23, 2006 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
stationchief Posted September 23, 2006 Posted September 23, 2006 Ya head home to break the wrapping off all yer goodies, play with 'em for a few hours, then straight to bed for the rest of the day. 8 hours in line can really wear ya out.
*Jami* Posted September 24, 2006 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.
