K and I stopped by the mall after school yesterday to buy him some new clothes and the prices literally went up overnight. I know because I had been at the mall the day before and brought him back to try some stuff on. So, unless you really need something that's not a gift, it's better to wait until after Christmas. Well, we still got him a few outfits, but it hurt.
M heard on the news last night that Santa is now asking kids to hand sanitize before sitting with him! I found a similar news story below.

Hi Christine,
We've had a similar phone scam over here . You have to be on your guard .It could be costly.
Two similar howlers ( I can vouch for their veracity)
Correct the following:-
" The martyr was tied to the steak "
Answer " The tomato was tied to the steak "
And
Father's occupation- "Conker eater "
i'm thinking the prices shot up in preparation for lowering them for the black friday sales. i hate to be a cynic but i wasn't born yesterday.
had sanitizer, eh! swine flu scare is everywhere i guess.
Hey Christine
I saw on CFTO news they were at the Eaton Centre and were saying the prices were really good??
Hi Christine,
Times sure have changed when Santa puts out a press release about washing your hands! Oy.
I'll be cooking a lot this week and not around much, but wanted to be sure to wish you a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

What? Oh no! I thought prices were supposed to go down. I'd better pay more attention before I buy anything.
Barbara, those are funny
Julie, good point
SoccerMom, my girlfriend was saying she hasn't seen anything that good out there, so much for the news
Have a Happy Thanksgiving, Joanna and glad you enjoy the posts, thank you
Kay, it pays to know your prices, which I can never remember.
I tried to go clothes shopping last week but was too overwhelmed with all the holiday signs! It's hard enough to zero in on something I like, but when the stores get busy with the holidays and decorations, I get confused! Too much to look at.
