Yep, that's right b*tches. I'm starting this now. BUT, you must blame Spideyman for putting me in the mood and getting my engine primed and running! It's her fault!

And, with all the board closings coming up with a good chunk of October being gone, Thanksgiving will be upon us and right up to:

CHRISTMAS IS COMING! CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

I wanted to give you guys something to think about over the break, and we're looking for a volunteer to run the show this year.

And yes, gentlemen, you can volunteer too. Here is the link for our new members to see what is involved in our seasonal gift giving.

Thanks Spidey! For inspiring our Deejers... oh man, what HAVE you done?! :laugh:
(Hey Deej, your boyfriend has barely been put away after last Christmas! :biggrin2: )

Great thinking though, :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up: this thing is going to come at us super fast this year with all the closures.

So many closures! We need to think and plan ahead sometimes. And yes, ever since I got Spidey's card, I've heard Mr. Christmas Tree calling calling to me....

I... can't....breathe......

Spidey is so super thoughtful and organised... her Christmas gift arrived here before I even sent her... BELATED birthday gift. The shame... :blush:
When I grow up, I would like to have Spidey's organisational skills.
(& your Christmas Tree :laugh: )

FlakeNoir and Dana Jean -- inbred with organizational skills. My dad- everything in it's place. Years of teaching- lesson plans. Just figured with the world as it is now, and life in general it was time to spread a little cheer. I wish that your lives be filled with love and only green lights-- always! Now, onward to Christmas Is Coming..................

Maybe it is time to think about my decorating for this year and get myself together with some shopping. Always mail out for the Grandkids. Also do some gift giving of things I purchase all year at our used bookstore. We have such an awesome store.
Yes! You hit that right on the head.

Start now everyone -- every paycheck, buy a gift and stash it away. Pay cash. Avoid credit cards.

When xmas rolls around, your stress levels will be lower and your joy will be more genuine. You can smile knowing you were proactive and took charge!

I always start my Christmas shopping in August. It makes for much less stress, and when everyone else is grabbing last minute gifts on Christmas Eve, I'm at home relaxing and enjoying the day.

I try to buy things all during the year because the stress can be crazy! I think the last time I ran around on Christmas Eve looking for a gift was when Beauty and the Beast came out on VHS. Looking for it for my nieces. We did finally find a copy but never again!
