    Could be lots of fun......find a place where we can share our pictures. Oh, the ideas running around in my head.....both naughty and nice. Even the naughty ones would'nt make Mrs. Claus blush...too much.

    Candy canes, holly.....garland....all kinds of fun. Use that red table cloth as a drape.....and a string of Christmas lights....Those big bows.....oh my!

    I'd love it! As they mentioned I am sure anything I send will be shared. It will get there a week or so after they've settled in.

    I don't start shopping until I realize it's almost Christmas and I haven't gotten anyone anything yet. I'm best under pressure! Besides moo-la is tight so it'll probably be stocking stuffer items :cry: They'll love me anyway right? :smooched:

    you've only got 48 more shopping days till Christmas. :bigsmile:

    Happy Thursday! :smile:

    I normally start shopping in August, but with the economy tanking, I have a feeling most of my extended family gatherings will be name drawings, so I haven't bought a thing as of yet.

    BTW, due to divorces and remarriages, we have FOUR immediate family Christmases to attend! Thanksgiving is even worse... all that turkey!

    Thanks Shannon!
    I have to have a box headed to Iraq by Nov 21!
    Any ideas what to put in it!?!?
    I got movies, game, cards, book....... I worry about "goodies" because that is a long time for them to hold up. :grumble:

    Is he in barracks or does he have his own space??

    He has mentioned that he'll be in a trailer with another of his group.

    Maybe a nice framed picture of you would help boost his spirits. :wink:

    I am getting some photos with my kiddo....
    I was thinking of doing some....special...classy retro pin up pics this spring/summer (depending on weight loss) for before he comes home. Too much? Weird? I am close to talking myself out of it.

    He'd absolutely love them! Go for it! Don't you DARE talk yourself out of it girlie! :love:

    You are much nicer than me. I cancelled Christmas. (except if someone wants to give me something of course)

    I am driving to Biloxi, MS for Christmas so between putting new tires on my car and gas money...I am the present this year! :laugh:

    Congrats by the way. I haven't been on much and I don't think I had seen you since I heard the news! :flowerforyou:

    I procrastinate! It sucks!! LOL! But, I order a lot online and have it shipped just because most of my family is across the country and it's just easier that way. Around here, I have to worry about my son,hubby, MIL, Sister-in-law, nephew and a couple friends. Thats about it!

    I will try not to chicken out.
    I am not overly girly so the whole.... "look" is hard to figure out.
    Especially since I am trying to lose weight.

    The one thing I have to be careful of is not to push it TOO far... they are kinda strict about what makes it there.

    They are strict but just keep it tasteful and I bet you have no problems. And just FYI if you stick a picture in a book or something... you will probably not have any problems :) (as long as the book isnt a playboy)

    I have deployed a few times and that is how mom (gotta love mom) always sends things like phone cards and gift cards I have only had a few things opened in customs but I have always gotten everything sent with the exception of one excercise magazine.

    Curse those exercise magazines....corrupting our kiddos....:laugh:
    So, when I send his Christmas box should I put his music download thingy in a book instead of his stocking?

    ***Also, if anyone knows of some AWESOME sites that sell retro clothes, I would love to know about them.

    Alright, no more hijacking Sharrons thread.....
