Len Dalba: I do chores to earn the money, but it just seems weird to buy gifts for her when it was her money in the first place. Whats everyones view on this??
Leif Andreason: For yourself, probably. But as long as you don't go telling everyone what they got from your folks then you haven't ruined for others. One of my sisters never did understand the prospect of a surprise as kids at Christmas. She'd go looking for the presents then have to tell my other sister and myself what we were all getting. And she'd be upset when we weren't excited to find out well in advance. The two of us wanted to be surprised when we opened our presents on Christmas Day, not know ahead of time.As long as you're not like her, then there's less ruining of the surprise....Show more
Arlene Maycumber: We dont decorate until the day after Thanksgiving at the earliest, before that its a little early. But I do enjoy the decorations at the stores. :)
Mack Ukich: No not yet, but have ! seen one house with tons of outdoor displays...shocked me at first since it was the day after Halloween.Merry Christmas!
Will Camus: well bobby i dont know where you live but where i live in NY there is decorations all over the place.The mall and all the stores are decorated.
Bell Pasco: For Thanksgiving, ya. I did get a couple Christmas movies on blu-ray tho. A Charlie Brown Christmas and Polar Express. I won't watch them till Dec. tho!
Tijuana Tatsak: Not yet but I have bought some decor.
Esteban Lyson: some years in the past - while courageous sufficient to enable all of it draw close positioned. Me, a buddy and his lady-buddy got here across a coastline in Portugal and gave it a circulate - it became into miles removed from the popular motels with basically a pair of sunlight-worshippers an outstanding distance away. yet then, to our entertainment, an previous chap with a strolling stick marched up in a strange armed forces form of way - got here! close - became around and marched back into the far distance.! Very comical. Went swimming and it wasn't very nice - a great deal of seaweed doing strange issues to the anatomy. yet then i spotted seaweed became into replaced via 1000's of jelly fish and we raced for the coastline - finding and feeling fantastically stupid. yet a minimum of it became into something to tick off on one's record of life reports. (Been there - executed it - devoid of the T-shirt, and so on.) would not do it those days, for worry of scaring the youngsters or horses....Show more
Connie Dickirson: why do u even need to be paid to do chores? Ur lucky u get paid to do chores. I would suggest u either make her something nice(if ur good with ur hands), OR cook her a nice meal (if u can cook), OR buy her something that u think she likes OR, just give her back some of the money.
Bethanie Menden: Dont tell anybody.Theres still time.Try to be happy no matter what and be surprised by any little thing you get such as stocking stuffers.Just act happy give t! hem a big smile when you open it .Its OK
Otto Lingafelt: i think its ruined the suprise slighty...i havent any of presents yet, apart from the my older brother's, coz me n my mum bought them, and i found the other presents because i was trying to hind my brothers! loldo you think i have ruined the suprise?
Brock Hladik: I think you should just keep it to yourself and let your parents enjoy your surprise on Christmas.
Marylee Lucks: You earned that money right? You did your job and got paid for it, so there is nothing wrong with buying her a gift with the money if that is what you want to do with that money. It is similar to me buying my boss a token of my appreciation, with some of the money from my pay check. I would definatly do it!!
Gus Leiby: we usually put ours up the first weekend of December
Rayford Speziale: So, I'm trying to figure out what to get my brothers for Christmas. One of them is 13 and he loves soccer, and other sports like f! ootball. He is also in that stage where he wants to be "looking good fo! r the ladies." hahaThe other one is 8 and is very into cars and motorcyclesThey also both love Guitar Hero and video games. I'm looking to spend about $50 each or maybe get them a combined gift.Any ideas are greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance....Show more
Donnie Bolio: Sure, it's your money. It's nice that you wonder that though. In addition to buying her something why don't you make her a few coupons for extra chores around the house or special favors for her so she knows that you appreciate her.
Lue Podewils: you earn the money by doing chores so buy her something she would really love that is very sweet of you
Davina Shindler: I LOVE CHRISTMAS!! I already got my family and friends presents! Yeah, my family usually puts up our tree maybe december 10th-ish. Though, I still get to decorate my room! SO i NEED TO BUY SOME LIGHTS AND A MINI TREE!! So, yeah!

Ardath Templer: Your one of the lucky ones that get an allowance. Using it to buy your mother a gift shows LOVE
Oren Eskelsen: If I were your mother I would be very proud of you for buying me a gift with your hard earned money. That is such a nice thing for you to do. Also I think that every Mom enjoys those handmade "I owe you" coupons that children make.
Hilde Heskett: Kind of. I usually wait until the ! 1st of December to put up decorations, but I forgot to take down one de! coration last year. It's a snowman and he's hanging off my curtain rail. So, I've been ready since last Christmas by default!
Burt Cheevers: yeah my house is seriously over the top with lights all over and santa on top i got lost in my new neighborhood last night and i could see my house from like a block away
Will Camus: It ruins it a little bit. But the surprise is always there when you actually recieve them!
Rayford Latz: do you know what gaming consoles they have? Wii, ps3, xbox? you could get them a new game. (for the Wii i would recommend mario kart). For the 13 year old, since he is at that age, maybe something that would seem to acknowledge that he is growing up. Maybe a gift card to a popular clothing store or a cool shaving kit, even a nice watch or something he could wear as a conversation starter to talk to girls. good luck. cant wait till my son gets to those ages. ...Show more
Maurice Breuning: we already decorated our house too. :D ! im so glad we did it early this year! there is even a radio station here that has started to play christmas music all day so that makes it even more exciting. !! i love this season and all the holly jollyness it brings. Merry Christmas :)...Show more
Amina Motzer: I haven't started decorating yet... My mother says that we don't have enough decoration yet T_T
Filiberto Amauty: you could get the 13 yr old a jersey style t-shirt of his favorite sports team. its something sports related and will look good on him. the 8 year old,you can get him a R/C car or maybe a racing game.
Maryland Gareau: Hohoho :)Don't think about where the money comes from. Give with your heart.Or you can also give her more time for 'free chores' as a gift.Ideas more your mom at:http://gift-ideas.christmasgifts.net/Mom-christmas......Show more
Dexter Gold: When i was young i purposely looked for my presents once. I found them and then realized that I ruined it for myself. It sucke! d, but I still had a good Christmas, but I understand what you mean abo! ut feeling bad. Hope you feel better, soon. Blessings
Maynard Phoubandith: People are already decorating for Christmas?That's completely ridiculous. It's not even Thanksgiving yet, christ.Christmas isn't going to come any faster.Sigh. Anyway no, I haven't decorated and neither has anyone I know. And I haven't seen any stores around here decorating either. Because it's not time for Christmas yet....Show more
Margy Sandquist: Hello!! :DFor the 13 year old bro, get him a cool soccer ball and maybe a football aswell.. if he already has a bunch, get him some cool clothes that he would like and that he would look "good" in lol. Or just get him a gift card for $50 to his favourite store!The 8 year old, you can get him a whole bunch of little collectible cars, or you can get him some video games!! And put it together in a little cute gift basket!!Hope this helps!Happy early holidays!(P.S - Good luck with the gifts!!!)Have a great day!! ;]...Show more
Soraya Coodey! : Absolutely! Consider it your income, no matter what the source. If you earn it, it's yours to do what you want with it. But, if it is still bothering you, see if there are some odd jobs you could do to earn money from a relative or neighbor and spend that money on your mom, and use your allowance on Friends and such.Good for you for earning your money and thinking about your mom. I'm sure you will bless her with whatever you decide to get her for Christmas................God bless you!...Show more
Rona Espalin: Not really. Just when you open the presents, put a surprised face on. Your parents won't have a clue. Unless, you are a really bad actor.From,â¥Princessâ¥
Tamatha Neubaum: guitar shirt maybe, http://cafepress.com/theguitarshirts
Jeff Frizzell: Yes Silly U Earned it buy what ever U want 4 Who Ever U want
Newton Fedorko: There's nothing wrong with that; I mean after all it is now YOUR money, it's not hers any more. It's your money, do what y! ou want. I'd say spending your money on others is a very thoughtful ide! a.
