CHRISTMAS 2019 Chit Chat (Track our deals and shopping :) )

My sister gave me special "santa bags" for each of my boys. (she had them made years ago with their names on them) She always filled them and brought some of their gifts in them but she doesn't want to confuse my niece as to why Santa leaves her that bag and it is the same as the one mommy uses so she gave them to me to use for the boys

Hollister order received yesterday. All items received that were ordered for Christmas! (waiting on shorts for DS)
I guess that is one perk of shopping early. Canceled orders don't worry you as much since you still have time to shop.

I consider a recent Ebay purchase (via a friend with an account) of the long-wanted dress pattern (Simplicity 8511) my #ChristmasinJuly gift for 2019. Very delighted and the mailing only took 5 business days from the northeast US!

Purchased amazing mini fridges for each of my boys for Christmas for their tv rooms. (they can take to school etc too) Reg $278.00 each on clearance for $107.00. (Both have mentioned wanting them and I have no ideas for Christmas since they have all the electronics they need and purchased things themselves this year)
Will purchase a case of water and case of fav canned beverage for each and wrap on top for a theme.

I currently have a christmas savins jar going - which i tend to cash out and put in my account once every couple months or put to the credit card because i found some christmas deals. We decided as an extended family that this year we are doing gifts for neices and nephews only and not drawing names or doing gifts for the adults we are Not seeing for christmas day this year. I told my sisters that my boys are old enough now if they choose not to send gifts for them we are 100% ok with that.. They have jobs now and pretty much buy what they want anyways

For my oldest neice and nephew last month i found Legos on sale. 90 to 120 dollar sets on for 29.99 So i scooped those up. Three sets. Then a smaller set with a tea set for my our great neice. One of our younger neices i found Breyer's horses and a barn for down from 29.99 for the horses to 9.99 and 39.99 to 18.99 for the barn set. She loves her "neighs" I found a tractor set for our great nephew on from 29.99 to 8.99. So For the neices and nephews i'm left with shopping for one nephew and my youngest neice and two great neices.

Our boys this year i'm so temtped to go and load up up prepaid visa's. They will be with their mom this year and she tends to take them south for shopping so we arent planning to do stockings for them either.

Just transferred $100 into the Christmas account.

Once we return back from our trip in November I will get in Christmas mode and start sorting and wrapping. I feel good about what I have so far for the boys..
