Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and Christmas is fast approaching! Are you ready?!
Well, fear not, because Cool Moms Rule is, and we're going to help you get organized this holiday season with tips, tricks, special deals and giveaways all designed to do away with holiday stress!
Tomorrow, Cool Moms Rule's own Viv will be live (sorta) via podcast, asking those expert chefs over at Butterball just how much turkey is enough to feed her hungry family (plus tasty leftovers for the next day's sandwiches).
We want to send an extra "thank you" out to the Butterball folks, who went above and beyond to answer Viv's question--when they found out she didn't have her own personal ipod shuffle to listen to the podcast (Viv was planning on sneaking away with one of her boys' MP3's), Butterball sent her an ipod shuffle of her very own! And they even put their own special "Happy Holidays from Butterball" right down the side to commemorate the event!
So, obviously, Cool Moms Rule is suggesting you go right out and get a Butterball turkey for Thanksgiving this year! = )
Remember, you can catch Viv's question, and others, via the Butterball Turkey hotline podcat tomorrow, via Butterball.com (or you can subscribe to the podcast and others Butterball has to offer via itunes).
But that's not all we have for you! Oh no. Because right after Thanksgiving, you'll want to get out all those holiday cards, won't you? (okay, maybe "want" isn't the operative word here). Bet you aren't looking forward to addressing all of those now, are you?
Don't fret! Cool Moms Rule has asked the fantastic folks over at the Colour me Family website to give you a hand with all your holiday mailouts. Over at Colour me Family, you can personalize your holiday address labels with just a few clicks! You can create cute cartoon faces with the right hair and features for Dad, Mom, sons, daughters, babies, everyone in your family! You can even pick a special background for your cutie patooties! Viv discovered this simply sensational site surfing the internet, and she wrote to let the Colour me Family folks know how much she enjoyed their labels. They really came through for us:

I will try to keep this short : )
Every year hubbie and I alternate spending Thanksgiving/Christmas with our respective families (each in different states). We spent 8 months overseas and missed out on last year's rotation. This year we were supposed to fly out of state to visit hubbies family. We have a new baby and when we were pregnant earlier this year we told them we would not be flying with the baby until he was older. Well, of course they were very disappointed they weren't going to see our little boy. Unfortunately one of the cousins had a baby the day after our little one was born and is flying back for Thanksgiving. Needless to say we expect much more prodding from the family as they continually try to get us to change our minds. We also know that we won't hear the end of it (probably not until we show up with our baby!)
What has me stressed is preparing the holiday meals for my large family. My mom just had surgery and won't be able to do a lot.
Guess I missed the part about what has me most stressed.
That would be all the traveling and the fact that it's possibly two of our family member's last holiday seasons. yep, that'd be it.
