Are you going to shop something for your familys and friends for Christmas?. Can you afford everything?

Geez, some people can't buy many things for their familys and friends because of the financial problems.

So, be wise with money ;)


I'm going to create another one for "What's the worst gift you got for Christmas?"
 
We'll just get what we can afford...my son wanted computer soo badly so he is gonna get one unless we find a good price on it. *sigh* and add some games to his computer as well. He'll enjoy it.

I wanted new TV, monitor and camera but $ may not permit for all. Wait and see what we see on newspaper ads on Wed/ Thursday for Black Friday shopping.
 
This year is very bad for me with money issues due to bank reason... But, Im only buying for kids and babies, not teenagers or adults.. Sad eh?

But no one will get anything for me for Christmas also because of my Alexanderia.
 
Hi Meyag, i want tell you something.
honestly, i miss christmas shopping in germany and also christmas-market.
here is sooooooo empty. I am still a bit sad, because in america have only one days christmas on Dec 25th. in germany have two days (dec 25th and 26th)
i always met with my woman friends at christmas market and chit chat with drink of hot Gluehwein (like hot red wine).
that is why, i invite all my friends in our home on Dec 13th and "Feuerzangenbowl" (hot Gluehwein) with Flammkuchen (like pizza Foods). I would be happy :)

Hopefully next year will be better for you. Your kids & babies are your priority first. You know It just happens, they will understand.

I'm sure someone will get you anything for XMAS.

Check website DELL.COM, it's affordable price.

Oh, right Black Friday is coming next week.
 
Sunshinelady,

You can shop for XMAS here in America, If you want to. You can always go back to Germany for shopping :).

Flammucken? I never heard of it, that's pizza foods.

Have fun with your friends on Dec 13th at your place :)

Of course, they will understand since money is big issue to solve the problem, blah...

SunShineLady;

Here USA do have "two days of Christmas" 24 for Christmas Eve and 25 for Christmas even they will make 26 aka Christmas to spend with more people.. Since, my family and I do have "three days of Christmas"... 24th with my mom and her side family, 25th just me and my family then 26th with my dad and his side family. That's how work of Christmas :)
 
i did all of my christmas shopping in july, so i'm all set. thanks to my stimulus check, i was able to afford everything i wanted to purchase for my family and friends. :)
 
I don't think I'll be doing Xmas shopping this year due to my hours were cut down at Shared Journeys, thanks to the staff who returned back from his summer job. I just will have a grand time hanging with my roommate and their kids anyhow.

awww :hug: I miss you here... :hug:

Yes, I aware that US only have one day is Xmas Day but here in Germany is 24th (half day free of Xmas eve), 25th and 26th Xmas public holiday.

Xmas market will be start next week as 1st advert... We will go there to have hot Glühwein and Lebkuchen... mmmmhhhhh

It´s wonderful that you invite all of your friends to experience German custom at your home...
 
My both sons only interest is design clothes... as same as last year...

They will get $150 limit each for order design clothes with 70% discount via internet as usual...

My hubby & I haven´t discuss yet what we wish for gift because we have everything... maybe get him favorite aftershave... and favorite foods in the basket to surprise him... :dunno:

My friends and I agree to not exchange the gifts in the future because we don´t need anymore... just visit to greet each other which is good enough.

Okey dokey, It's up to you. Why not buy apple mac? but it's very expensive. My sister have apple mac, she says the best so far. Some people says Dell computer is reliable. I understand it's your opinion. People says best way to get a consumer report book before buying a computer or something.

Individual people buy different brand name for computer.

Good luck on your search for computer on sale at the store.
