Oh dear...that's sound so bad...smokes  bear_sad  I can't even take it when the haze was around....we have haze every year due to opening burning in Indonesia and some irresponsible plantation owners around Malaysia...It really need a BIG and GOOD rain to wipe out the burning.... :pray:

Sarah we have a basic budget of about $100.00 each and I get as many as I can with that, one bigger present then sone small cheap items to bulk it out a bit!! (usually about 5 or 6 altogether)...takes some juggling though to make sure everyone gets the same number!!!....It always looks really impressive just because of the sheer number of kids!!

I would love to be able to spend more but because of the number of children the budget is kept fairly low....or at least low compared to most people I know!!  bear_ermm

Hi there Tynna...welcome to the party! You're just arriving as I am leaving. Each time the connection drops out, my conscience starts to tingle and I get the guilts...I need to go do something with my day besides sit on my butt reading, posting and drinking coffee!!! :crackup:
It's been LOADS of fun! Thanks all for having me! Off to do the dishes and start on my Chrissie cakes! Yum!
Merry Christmas one and all.
Orlando is officially up for grabs...may the best girl win!  Ready, set, GO!!!

:bday:
9:00pm here in Connecticut. 40 degrees F and that's warm to me! OHHH, Johnny Depp with early Frank Sinatra  bear_rolleyes  Viggo Mortensen would be incestuous. My maiden name is Mortensen and my three brothers are all the Viggo Viking type! Give me the sensitive, moody guy  bear_wub  Wait! I've already got one of those; difficult and complicated?!. OHHH I've had too much champagne.....

Oh yes, Karen...terrible for the sake of profit  bear_sad  Every year we dreaded the "haze" but nothing could be done...same old promises from Indonesia government but not action...so we always have surgical mask in our bag...just in case...once, my nose bleed and I couldn;t breathe well, nearly fainted.

Talking about Christmas pressie...I am "itching" to open up the Christmas pressie from my boyfriend and his mom hee hee....I was told NOT to open until Christmas day or latest midnight of Christmas eve...hee hee
