Another Giveaway Event.... At Hip Mama's Place

https://damnvoicesagain.blogspot.com/2008/12/another-giveaway-event-at-hip-mama.html

MomDot Blog Party: Day 8

Sponsors: Day Eight Blog Party Question is Brought to you by Koshas, Leapfrog and Soda Club.

VIP BLOGS to visit are Parent Reviewers , Mom Most Traveled, Mommy Zabs, MomStart, HipposToes, Run DMT

Do you shop on Black Friday? What time do you start? Do you finish all your shopping on that day? What’s the best deal you have found? What’s your shopping strategy?

Nope. Don't shop on Black Friday. I used to. Then I became a Mother. That ended it. Oh, and there was the little incident of my husband dragging my pregnant ass out at 3 a.m., Black Friday 2004. He wouldn't let me eat breakfast because we were running late. We were running late because he had the brilliant idea of dragging his 6 months pregnant, waddles like a duck, has to pee every 5 minutes, wants to eat all the time, wife to a mall the Day After Thanksgiving. At the ass crack of dawn. To wait in line while freezing my nipples off. Just so we could get two $10 gift cards at Robinson May! Yep!

So to answer your question, no, I don't shop on Black Friday. I have no strategies, either. I sleep.

Have you s tarted your Christmas shopping yet? Do you budget for the holidays? Do you always stick to your budget? Share with us any budgeting tips you may have!

No, I haven't started my shopping yet, I usually don't do it until December because my husband's family picks gift exchange names on Thanksgiving. Also, we usually don't have the money for shopping until December when my husband gets his Christmas bonus from work.

I always try to budget, try being the operative word here. I am good at budgeting for other family members, but when it comes to my daughter, I am a moosh! I never have gone completely overboard though. Well, there was her first Christmas...

My budgeting tips are look at clearance racks first, go to discount stores & never pay full price unless you absolutely have to!

Don't forget to check out this one for needy families. What better way to put the Christmas Spirit into action, than to help those less fortunate than ourselves?

Jackson came home from school singing Christmas carols today.

His sweet voice brought me right into the holiday spirit.

Kids are in love with Christmas. They believe in its magic, even if they can’t understand what it is all about.

Whether it is a toddler transfixed by glowing Christmas ornaments, a four year old climbing on Santa’s lap to whisper her biggest wish, or a seven year old gently laying baby Jesus in the Nativity scene, kids tingle with hope at Christmas time.

This Christmas, we get to sprinkle some Christmas hope and joy out into the community with our first annual Under The Tree program.

Under the Tree is about getting some of that Christmas magic (bloggy style!) right to some families who need it!

And here is how we are going to do it — with your help of course.

We will be choosing several families to sponsor this Christmas.

The wonderful companies who are taking part in our Christmas Giveaway 2008 are donating items for our sponsored families.

So, in addition to providing prizes for our readers to win by commenting on the individual reviews, the companies participating in the Christmas Giveaway 2008 are providing presents to these selected families who are in need this Christmas.

We are so blessed to partner with such generous companies.

We know there is so much need out there, especially in these difficult economic times, but through Under the Tree, we hope we can share the spirit of Christmas and ease the burden from some families who just don’t know how they will be able to provide presents for their children this Christmas.

How you can help?

If you know a family who will not be able to provide presents for their children this Christmas, please nominate them in the comments below or send a private email to us at info(at)5minutesformom(dot)com.

Please leave personal information, such as last names, out of your nomination, but do include the number and ages of the children.

It’s going to be very tough narrowing the nominees down to just a few families. But due to the fact that we only have a limited number of gifts, we will have to make those hard decisions.

Since we do not want to disappoint anyone, please do not let the families know that you are nominating them. If we choose them, we will contact you to verify the details and then determine if the families want to accept the gifts.

Please note that we will also not post personal information about the families that we select. We’d like to keep it as private as possible.

We will do our best to match presents to children according to their age and gender, therefore the families we choose may be determined by the suitability of the gifts we have.

We will keep the nominations open until November 20th, 2008.

Please feel free to also post one of our Under The Tree buttons on your blog or site. Click here to get the button codes. We greatly appreciate you spreading the word and commenting here to show your support.

Your enthusiasm for Under the Tree and for the participating companies generosity helps pave the way for future projects!

THANK YOU for helping us transform these families’ holiday season into a time of blessing and excitement!

OK, bloggies, go enter these giveaways & don't forget to check out Under the Tree.

Good Luck!!
