Get ready! It's coming!
« on: September 25, 2011, 12:27:50 PM »


Yep, as of today you only have three months to shop and get prepared for the ominous holidays! It's only a matter of time before the stores start playing bad Christmas music, tempers flair and your wallet goes up in flames!

The countdown is on...90 days...  :popcorn:

Same here.  Gold coins in $1 denominations are preferred, though .22 LR ammo is also accepted . . . unfired, of course. :-)

My shopping is done.   :tongue:

I don't give gifts to my kids.  Instead, I get them something they realllllly want during the year that they otherwise wouldn't have.  And the grandkids each let slip what they wanted when I was there last time, so I got it and stored it.  No shipping costs this year.

Christmas decorations have already been out in some stores around here since the first of September.

I don't have my act together yet for Halloween! Though I have started getting my porch decorated with deep red, rusty orange and yellow mums and yellow and orange pansies. Have to get pumpkins and the Halloween decorations put out.

I am so excited this year about Christmas.  I think I have turned a milestone in my age/maturity.  Used to be I was all about what gifts I was going to be getting.  Now I am SOOOOOO EXCITED thinking about my kids opening up their presents and the smells of Christmas (minus after dinner farts) and just the cold. 

I can't wait help hubby hang his Xmas balls up  :naughty:

I'm the same way, the greatest joy of the gift aspect of Christmas for me is choosing that perfect thing for someone I love.

Wife and I don't exchange gifts. After 30+ years, it gets old.

The only gifts I give, in early December, are the $20 bills to the minimum wage clerks in the checkout lines that put up with grouchy old me at the grocery store the rest of the year.

The boyfriend and I decided not to give gifts.  We buy each other the thing we want most, that will benefit us.   This year it is a shed and a pressure cooker. 

Woohoo, right?

Ah yes, non-material green gifts.

There are some great things to “adopt” this Christmas (none of which involve children, although we of course support that as well.) On behalf of your gift recipient, you can Adopt a Rainforest, a Tree, a Coral Reef, or even a Manatee.


Or was this not what you had in mind? :naughty:
