I went out and stocked up on good gift wrap paper for cheap. I don't need a lot for Christmas gifts, but I use it all during the year to draft patterns on (on the white backside!)so it was a good buy. I also bought some Christmas prints in cotton quilting fabrics from Hobby Lobby and Hancocks, at 50-60% off! As for all the clothes and other stuff in the stores: I'm sick of looking at it so it doesn't even interest me. Around here all the stores have been having fabulous sales with additional percent off coupons coming out every week, *before* Christmas. Now it's the same price and a picked-over selection, so I'm skipping it.
