    i get that this is an inside joke and thus i am not meant to know wtf you 2 are talking about....
    however, this all just reminds me of the scene in the flick the break-up....jennifer aniston, vince vaughn.......she wanted 12 lemons for a centerpiece, i think he only bought 3......and the dialogue over this, the back and forth.....priceless...... :mrgreen:
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I'm going to need a bigger table.

    yep, you'll definitely need to use all of the leaves.

    perhaps even rent a banquet table to accomodate the gynormity of said centerpiece(s).

    cuz nothin says Christmas like a properly placed, perfectly arranged centerpiece.

    nothing.
    Nice shirt.

    I am such a sucker when it comes to Christmas. I know it shouldn't be about the gifts and the money but I am really tight with money the rest of the year so splurging is fun.
    I bet you and Toni have the most perfect Christmas....I truly mean that...

    I can picture your entire living room just loaded with Christmas gifts, and the kids waking up Christmas morning, And GOING NUTS!!!!!!

    I really bet your Christmas is just perfect.....

    Well, except for the part where you gather around the tree, and eat tamales!!!!!

    Tamales???? hehehehehehehehehe

    And if i dont get a Christmas card from you soon, you will officially make my shit list!!! heheheheheh

    Tamales are on Christmas EVE! And not just me but half of this state. More south Texas though I guess.

    Anyway, it helps having kids so yeah, we go all out for them.

    And we have seriously fallen off the Christmas card wagon this year.

    food for 6 days...yikes
    presents for the gf 200
    entertainment for 6 days. oh no
    maybe a few presents for a few other people.

    1500 or so it looks like. yikes. hard to believe it would be that much. travel is nice, the bill sucks

  • $500-$600 is probably a good guess... maybe a little more if you add in some new lights that I had to buy this year for outside. They all worked when I put them away, but half of them didn't when I got them back out... bastards...

    The thing that I am most happy about is that we won't have any credit card bills for any of it.

    probably $300 to $500 when all said and done... $20 on the tree, the rest on gifts... thankfully no kids of my own to buy for

    And Speedy, there is no need for a centerpiece, the meal is the centerpiece, or at least that's my thought hahahaha

    My mom says I should have one every year at Thanksgiving, my response "why would I waste money on something that is going to sit on the table for 10 minutes when you're here and then end up on top of the radiator while we fill the table and our mouths with food???"
