Answer my random questions please
I don't want to make individual topics about these, so here's a smattering of topics
If you put a baby up for adoption, would you want the birth parents to live in the same town as you/nearby?If you were the adopter same question.
Is $200 enough to spend on 4 people (sil/bil/mil/niece) for Christmas?
Do you decorate the inside of your house for Christmas? (I told mom we were and she looked at me like I was crazy and goes "Why would you put lights up inside?")
Do you consider sugar substitues (Splenda for example) to be "healthy"?

Is $200 enough to spend on 4 people (sil/bil/mil/niece) for Christmas? Yes.
Do you decorate the inside of your house for Christmas? (I told mom we were and she looked at me like I was crazy and goes "Why would you put lights up inside?") Oh, yes. Lights, nativity, snowmen, wall hangings, candles, etc
Do you consider sugar substitues (Splenda for example) to be "healthy"? In moderation, I think they are healthier than consuming lots of sugar. I try to have only 2 Splenda packets per day.
NO, I wouldn't want to live near them!!

definitely!!

Yes, I decorate inside. Well, I live in an apartment, so there's not much outside decorating I can do. We have a couple cute little Santa Claus's that I bust out right after Thanksgiving.
Do you consider sugar substitues (Splenda for example) to be "healthy"?
Only in very small doses. The chemicals can't be better for you than real sugar, calories and all.
[QUOTE]It sounds dorky but I was thinking of the potential Glee drama with Quinn and Shelby living so close together. It would be really hard not to meddle I think. Whew on the $200. <strong>S and I are talking about our Christmas budget and I know he's not going to be happy about that limit for them. I wanted to make sure I wasn't being a stingy biitch before I threw it out there.</strong>

<div>I don't know what Z is like, but when I was younger my favorite aunt used to give us lots of little things (pencils, pens, chapstick, note pads, necklaces, etc), all individually wrapped. I know it was cheap because she was in the middle of her PhD, but it was really fun to unwrap and we always looked forward to her presents, even more than the more expensive ones we would get from other people. Its just an idea of how to keep a little girl occupied, I guess. </div>
Mmm, nearby maybe. I think it'd be difficult for one or more parties involved if it were too close.

I'd say so, but I'm poor.
Do you decorate the inside of your house for Christmas? (I told mom we were and she looked at me like I was crazy and goes "Why would you put lights up inside?")
We have some candles and stuff, but no lights other than on the tree.
Do you consider sugar substitues (Splenda for example) to be "healthy"?
Uhm, I dunno. I don't use them. If I want to sweeten something without worrying about it, I'll usually just use honey.

[QUOTE]Has anyone else already starting Christmas shopping? Because I started last month.

I'm done with my mom's shopping, and I know what I'm getting everyone else, I just haven't bought it yet. I can't do my dad's gift until closer to Christmas anyway.

That's not grinch-like. H is anti all of it. Our first Christmas together was a palm tree with pink lights on it. Snowmen are certainly festive!

Well the Palm tree belonged to DH before I moved up, I didnt have a tree for years.
And I love snowmen (even though I hate snow, no sense I know) and I can keep them up after Christmas. It's more of a winter decoration.
Although my cat slays them all the time.
[QUOTE]That makes me feel less biitchy Jas :) They have the funds to buy each other really expensive stuff, and anything we find doesn't cut it. I mean, Sil's stocking stuffers last year were a $400 watch, Kindle (when they first came out, last year or year before), $100 shoes, and a $500 ring. We just can't compete with that, you know?
Posted by katiewhompus[/QUOTE]
Yeah..um, I make minimum wage. My stocking stuffers are candy canes and other assorted candies. haha
I love doing theme gifts. Little brother is dragon obsessed. I got him a dragon back pack. Then I got him stones that look like dragon eggs, fake gold, little treasure chests, and gems at the fair last month.
