Anyone else notice Christmas stuff up in their local stores? The Costco here has had xmas stuff for a couple of weeks now, and I went to Lowes tonight and they had trees out on display and several aisles of ornaments (lawn and tree). I remember when people would complain if the displays went up before Thanksgiving. "My goodness! Christmas decorations! And Thanksgiving isn't till next week!" Holy crap dudes, it's SEPTEMBER. Forget Thanksgiving, these things were on sale 6 weeks before Halloween! How far forward do you think they'll go with this in the future?

I did that already. But of course it wasn't mine. Man if I ever get another vehicle it probably wouldn't be a Titan. My gf shares a deep appreciation for the G35 coupe...I'm hoping for a 158% raise soon so that by 2007 I'll be able to pick up the GTR version.

I'm already making my Christmas list...if anyone wants to buy me something, I want some 5Zigen wheels, a Nismo sweatshirt and a 350Z, not necessarily in that order.

Anyway, I'm going to start my Christmas shopping soon. My fiance and I do most of our shopping online, and we usually wait to long and get screwed by companies that don't ship when they're supposed to or don't have accurate represenations of product availability (ie. Amazon.com).

This year I'm going to order stuff early so it can take 2 months to arrive and I'll still be OK for Christmas.

I got Fable at Target about a week ago. They were giving a $10 gift card with purchase and it was the usual $49.99. Maybe they're still running that deal.

Damn! No christmas?

IDK what I'd do without christmas. This year Im hoping to find a white 95-96 Maxima SE in my driveway when I get back from Cali(My mom's side of the family is going to Cali, but my dad has to stay home due to work).

That would be the **** for these 5 reasons.

1) I might get other gifts in order to hide this plan 2) They bough me a freakin car3) B/C they bought it, I now have the money I was saving for it to put into it.4) THEY BOUGH ME A FREAKIN CAR!!!5) AND ITS A MAXIMA

Im really stressing how much Id love a surprise like this. Hopefully they get it.

wow vicki i want to hug you.......

I knew a chick in texas that was buddhist and her whole family was the same. They didn't "celebrate" christmas becuase of christ and the whole santa clause thing. But they did get together eat food share gifts. Its just a time of lots of love. People forget to stop hating for 3 days in the year and its a really nice time. 00' Christmas i saw my first snow fall, it was beautiful.

Vicki forgot to add she use to celebrate christmas....
