Christmas Shopping

I went to Wal Mart last night to shop for Christmas and came across a heated argument directly in the center of the store.

I was running out of time and these stores saved my butt!

What could be more memorable than a unique gift, specific to the person you love, that was made and crafted right here in Maine, by Mainers?

The Mall at Fox Run is still cranking along, but locals still yearn for the good old days. See what some of them had to say.

Happy October! Sure, we know you're still enjoying the long weekend. But I bet sometime this weekend one of your friends or family brought up the holidays. C'mon you know it's true! "Where are we doing Thanksgiving this year?" or "My mother is thinking for coming for Christmas week." With that in mind, we are proud to present to the first Christmas Shopping commercial of the season. Lucky for you it's for something REALLY FUN!

John Travolta was seen doing some last minute gift buying at the T.J. Maxx in Rockland, Maine.

As my kids get older and more savvy, hiding birthday and holiday presents has become very challenging. They can now disable the eye-hook lock at the top of my "Prize Closet" door. Last year a friend of mine offered to keep them at her house because of the snooping that was going on at mine...

Mainers take their camps, cottages and cabins seriously, and outfitting them is half the fun! The L.L. Bean Home Store has so much cozy furniture, rugs, lamps and bedding to make every space warm and homey. Personally, I think that every camp should have this adorable banner over the door, and these soft woven rugs on the floor...

I like to take my Nephews and Niece out on special one on one fun runs. We sometimes go out for an ice cream, dinner or a trip to Toys R Us to dream. Here's a place I had never been to.

As if the holidays weren't hectic enough with Thanksgiving right on the doorstep and this crazy thing called Christmas shopping that's on a mission to devour our sanity. If you still need an ugly holiday sweater to come to our Ugly Sweater Party in Portland on Dec. 5, there is one store that works for guys and gals.
