Today I bought...

Christmas cards

lights for the tree-sphere pearl multi-colored

a tree shirt

and some pj bottoms for my baby girl (christmas themed)

I go back tomorrow to look for more.

I got my Mom's gift- a Keurig coffeemaker. She loves Dunkin' Donuts coffee, so I'll get her a nice supply of those Keurig-compatible DD cups....

That's it so far.

I really cannot seriously think about this yet..........just let me get through thanksgiving first so I can just happily panick

I have ideas, but have not bought a thing. I am one that seems to wait last minute.

No money. Not real sure there will be a Christmas, per se.

Good health, a meal, being with family and friends that's a gift onto itself.

Well in that case, that's a horse of a different color, that isn't easy. Keep the faith... things may turn around even yet.

I'm still eating Halloween candy.

That's cuz you never handed it out. Who you foolin' my lil' PJ.

Christmas is going to be easy this year. A few homemade gifts and money. Times are tough and my family/friends will just have to understand that.

So u mean I was supposed to hand out all that candy to those costumed little people instead of turning off all the lights and locking myself in the bedroom with the bucket full of M&M's?

I need to figure out what I should get my sister for Christmas. Any ideas?

I have my parents gift done - I paid for us (me, my brother & his fam, and my parents) to have a family portrait taken when I visited in August. Obviously it wasn't a surprise, but they loved it. (My mom is sentimental like that.) It was torture for me as I hate having my photo taken - I made the photographer change the contract so that it said that none of the images can ever be posted online.

I have a list of possible gifts for SO (made throughout the year) so it's really just a matter of deciding which ones to buy.

I will probably take a day off of work in early December and get everything I need as gifts to my family need to shipped at least a week early in order to arrive by Dec. 25.

I'll buy only one gift this year and that will be for my mom. My brother doesn't give or expect gifts. The few friends I have don't expect anything. GOOD!

Simple Facts:

1) She is my younger kid sister (18-25 age bracket)

2) She is extremely girlie (likes to dress up, heels, make up)

3) She is hell of picky, fav color is neon green

4) She is a walking stick

5) She does not cook

6) She does not clean

I will spend up to $250.00 on her this year.

How about a gift card to Sephora? Buy her some items, make a little gift bag of it and include the gift card.

I bought myself (and a guest) tickets to Prince concert along with ferry tickets/hotel accommodations. Gift for me!!

Most people get gift cards to the stores they love.

Uh yeah, that's the general idea, PJ. Santa gonna be handing out lumps of coal to you this Christmas. Taking candy from the babies. Shame.

I bought Christmas cards today filled most of them out today, to mail Thanksgiving. First time I've ever done this, but I'm handing out gift cards this year to eveyone expect, my mother, child, husband and father-in-law. Is it me, are the clothes looking crazier than hell in the stores? I refuse to shop at Macy's, its never gonna happen. I miss Marshall Fields.

Mostly done, including a few valuable "regifts" and gift cards.
