    Default What's on your list?

    Do you plan on hitting the after Christmas sales? What will you be looking for?

    I may venture out, but I know I don't need gift tags, ribbon, wrapping paper, cards, etc. I'll probably just look for candles.

    I rarely do after Christmas shopping, but there are tons of deals to be had. I do plan on hitting the thrift store on New Year's day though.

    I will probably go and see what is left that is a great deal. I look for items that would make great birthday gifts throughout the year to stock up my gift closet. I also look for "universal" wrapping paper.....types that can be used for any holiday. I also told DH this year I want to find lawn decorations for next year.

    I don't ever go out anymore- It used to be a big deal with BOB and me to go return gifts and exchange for better less expensive things- but I don't ever need to do that anymore - and I truly have enough wrapping paper to last about six years.

    Christmas cards would be good. Maybe some christmas fabric that isn't too christmasy...like plaids maybe. Or red or green fleece. (I am thinkng of making fleece covers for the kids seats in the van to keep spills off of the fabric of the seats)

    I may go out, but a lot of the stuff will be gone by the 29th when my house will be empty again. I could use some gift tags, wrapping paper and maybe a few little gifties for my gift closet. Oh, and I will definitely hit our local gift store. She always has 1/2 of 1/2 of Christmas ornaments. I can get great ornaments for the kids trees for about $1.50. I plan on getting a few for our tree as well. Some of our ornaments are looking past their peak with no hope of making it to the "antique" stage.....
