I bought a dozen strings of mini-lights at Hobby Lobby along with some C9 replacement bulbs, a stocking for my dog and wrapping paper, all 66% off. Then I went by Home Depot and picked up a Charlie Brown Christmas tree for $7.50.

I recently bought some Christmas cards for next Christmas. :santa-smiley:
I bought some Decorations for Christmas including nativity setup, lights, stars and balloons.
I just got a new nativity scene. That brings the total to four. I don't put out all my decorations every year. I'm afraid if I did it would end up looking more like a store.
I bought a few 3-ft garden stakes last week. I use them to anchor my blow molds to the ground. I have to add new ones every year since they bend and break over time.
I m about to buy a few ornaments. I just looked at a site featuring the 2015 Hallmark ornaments (pre-orders). I always get the Madame Alexander series ornament (this year is #20 in the series), the Puppy Love ornament for my older daughter (this year #25 in the series) and the Fairy Messenger ornament for my younger daughter (this year #11 in the series). They are all so cute! Additionally, this year they have an ornament premier "Madame Alexander - Glinda the Good Witch". I am wondering if this is the beginning of a Madame Alexander Wizard of Oz series? Hope so! You all know how much I love the Madame Alexander series - I have every one of their ornaments from three different series. Can't wait!
I just brought this http://www.festive-lights.com/christ...ome-light.html
That's really cute Penny Berry!:elf3:
Bought some zip ties the other day. This is the time of year where I stock up on random things for my yard display. I am always looking for deals on things like tent stakes, garden poles, zip ties, extension cords, etc....
I consider these things "Christmas items".
Love it Penny Berry
I have just ordered sparkly yarn and wool and jingle bells for crocheting snowflakes
Hi Penny Berry! I haven't bought anything yet! Very unlike me! But, I will be purchasing a few Hallmark ornaments on Saturday!
So what did you end up getting? I was in the mall with a friend and and said " Let me go in to the Hallmark store. They just got in their Christmas ornaments!" I got a bit of an eye-roll, so I just took a very quick look. I did like what I saw. They seemed to have some cute Charlie Brown things this year.Quote:

I actually bought a couple little Halloween items this past weekend. We scouted out some stores for holiday stuff, but got side-tracked when we started finding Halloween stuff!!
I bought handmade ornaments on Etsy for my mother. But last year she never got her tree decorated. She's too old and hundreds of miles away.
I bought some tree decoration items, Halloween accessories and a set of Christmas collection of Yankee candles and candle holder online... :presents1:
We bought some ornaments, tree lights and other Christmas decorations at Marshall's this weekend. Hoping to buy a 9' tree from a lady on craigslist later today!
I also have a small musical teapot (ceramic) that I use to decorate the kitchen!Quote:

So, does that mean you're decorating this year??:gingerhouse:Quote:

I won't be having my best Christmas ever this year, even though I will try to make the best of it. Moving in December is going to kill the spirit for me. I will consider myself very lucky if I am even in a new place by Christmas - and not in an Extended Stay hotel! I will be more than thrilled if I am able to get my tree up!Quote:
