This post is entirely too late (just like last year’s post), but in order for me to get back into the swing of things, I need to post it. If I don’t, it’ll continue to bug me. So here it is, some photos from the holiday. No captions because I’m mysterious like that and I don’t want to make photo sharing harder than what it really should be. Plus it’s getting late and I’m hungry. Just keeping it real. {more photos on Flickr} © Sophistishe 2012 | Permalink | 14 comments – Let’s chat!
In early September, I started preparing Jayden’s wishlist to ensure that his presents were bought and wrapped in advance to avoid the hectic last minute. So I made a list. And it was hard at first because he hadn’t asked for anything and was content with what he had. So I began to add items based on his interests. Since quite a few people contribute to Jayden’s gifts, I found myself adding things just to add them… so everyone could equally contribute (they are happy to) and then I found myself deleting away. It was just too much. I started [...]
Earlier this month I shared my favorite holiday tradition. And that’s spending Christmas day with a house full of my mother’s side of the family. There’s no amount of snow, gifts, or holiday decor that can trump that. Our recent trip to NY earlier this month gave me a taste of that. Everyone wasn’t there, but it sure was a housefull there to celebrate the week of my uncle’s birthday. One of those days, my aunts (and great cousin) decided to cook up some gumbo and cakes. We had dinner at the table and my aunts and uncles gave my [...]
Our favorite icey mammals are back in a fun, 25-minute Christmas special and I have a copy to give away to a lucky reader! See below how you can win …
I’ll admit, I’m not very clever when it comes to stuffing stockings. Since Jayden will be receiving quite a few wants for Christmas, I wanted to make sure that his …
Just yesterday, we put a few things on Layaway at our local Walmart. We did, however, avoid items that may potentially go on sale on Black Friday. To stay in the loop, I’ve subscribed us to Walmart’s mailing list. Walmart will actually be releasing their 2011 Black Friday ad a little early this year to everyone who subscribes! Sign up at walmart.com/email by Nov 7 or “Like” Walmart on Facebook at facebook.com/Walmart and you will be among the first to preview their Black Friday ad! Edited to add: Walmart’s 2011 Black Friday Ad is here! Click the image above to be taken directly to [...]
In addition to Christmas Layaway, Walmart will be offering Christmas Price Match Guarantee starting Novemeber 1st – December 25th. This offering will give me the peace of mind knowing that if I purchase gifts at Walmart whether outright or through Layaway, I can still get my items for the lowest price possible, as long as I have the competitor’s original ad and original Walmart receipt. Walmart will then issue the difference in the form of a gift card. And that works for me! How It Works All branded, general merchandise including toys, home goods, electronics, hardware, etc. are eligible for [...]
Starting October 17th, Christmas Layaway will be available at Walmart stores!!! I for one am super excited about this because this gives us a chance to reserve the items that we want before the Holiday rush whisks them all away. We don’t do credit cards so this gives us a chance to tend to our current financial obligations and gradually make payments on gifts and own them before Christmas. Remorse-free. How Walmart Layaway 2011 Works Only toys and electronics are eligible for layaway. Click here to view a detailed list of eligible items. Layaway applies to items purchased in stores and not [...]
We’re 22 days into our new year. The Christmas tree is down as of the 15th? I’m drawing a blank here. Wintery figurines are still up, so are the stockings and Charlie Brown tree. The figurines and Charlie Brown tree will come down when my Wintery spirit dries up. The stockings will come down once I figure out what to replace them with. A personal blog would not be a personal blog pretending as if Christmas 2010 never existed. So I’m making myself write this post now that I think I’m done recovering from it all. First, some cute photos [...]
