hit our local store paid off our lay-away. Went to pick it up yesterday and only owed a penny. They said some guy came in the other night and paid off $3,000.00 worth of lay-aways. May He be Blessed with a wonderful 2012. His gift to us was priceless. Merry Christmas...

I heard on the local news today that for a small fee at our mall you can make an appointment to see santa instead of waiting in line. I assume it means you can move to the front of the line. (sigh). They've found another way to make a buck. I guess if you've got an extra $10 or whatever you can...

OK Bah Humbug. I'll just get that off my chest now. I have never been a fan of the Santa lie, but as a parent there is no way around it. In my house, Santa has always brought 1 nice (relatively expensive) toy to each of the boys and the rest were from me. This year the kids are 6 & 8 and while...

Who still does Santa at home? What is your Santa tradition? What was it like when you were little? For us we always got 3 presents from Santa so when we wrote our letters we'd choose our things. Then a stocking, Christmas morning we were allowed to go through our stockings and look at Santa...

My sister gave me a pair of binoculars that also take digital photos. Useful for work, AND, given the problems that I've been having with my neighbor, possibly good for around here, too! I'm playing with them today, to see how well they work, and then...let the spying begin!! :D

My son got me the purple long loom. I can't wait to try it. I can't find any good info on how to use it though. I've looked thru the places you all gave me on another thread and can't seem to understand it. I'm wanting to make an afghan. But, I don't know if I go on both sides of the purple...

I tortured my dogs today & made them pose in front of the Christmas tree wearing a Santa hat. There was no way I was going to be able to get all three of them to sit still together so I did them one at a time. Here they are: DD wanted me to do the cats too...but I value my life LOL!

You better not pout I'm a tellin' you why...... Omg I used to torture my kids with that song all December long..... Everytime some little disagreement would break out, I'd burst into song (and I don't sing very well at all....:lol: ). It worked like a charm when they were young but I have to...
