I ordered this year's nutcracker
I was actually buying some last minute Candy for trick-or-treaters last night and stumbled upon a Christmas Sale so I bought a fresh strand of lights for the house and a couple lighted candy canes.
I used brown one year and my tree was too beautiful for words! You'll be very happy!Quote:

Mom and I went to a Christmas sale at a small antique mall and I found a fuzzy wuzzy Santa book from 1947!
How nice!Quote:

I've never heard of or seen brown ornaments!Quote:

I wish! The brand new candles are in the ground and plugged in, but they won't light. I threw last year's candles away and now I know that the candles weren't the problem! ARGH!!!Quote:

I bought several boxes of Christmas crackers on clearance, a Santa and Reindeer centerpiece, and another nativity scene. I really need to stop. Six Nativity scenes is a bit much.
Bought cards for Christmas 2016
How did Christmas go? I know you were moving. Were you in a new place yet or in a temporary place?Quote:

If anyone is close to a World Market, they had all the Christmas stuff that was left for 90% off!!!! :yahoo: I admit it was slim pickings, but I got several boxes of Christmas Crackers (the kind you pull apart not the kind you eat)for 2 dollars a box! I probably won't need to buy any for the rest of my life.:xmaseyeroll: I also got some Christmas cards. Hopefully this year I will actually send cards out!
I went to a local swap & trade event. I picked up this little guy out of a FREE box. Yes I know he wasn't bought but he was still meant for this family.:yahoo:

:welcome: Chocollatechip 1979! I hope you enjoy posting here. It is a little slow right now, but it is a great community.
That snowman is a great find!:elf3:
I just saw this post now - believe it or not!!! Christmas last year was VERY strange! We sold our house on Dec 17th and bought our new one on Jan 8th - so technically, we were homeless. It was so odd not being surrounded by decorations! We did go to a dude ranch for 3 days over Christmas and that was a lot of fun. I brought along a very small tree with a few ornaments and all our gifts. Our little dog really enjoyed himself. I am SO looking forward to a normal Christmas this year!Quote:

Picked up some more light stakes and strings of C9 lights over the weekend.
Here is some stuff acquired while vacationing in Kentucky and the October release Hallmark ornaments.
