Good morning!
I’m not going to lie, I’m making no promises as to when I will Rise and Shine through the end of the year. It seems crazy to get out of bed when the whole house is still sleeping – including my early rising babies. So if you check at 6:30 a.m. PST and the Rise and Shine post isn’t up, I’m either a.) sleeping b.) working on it and it will come shortly. But don’t worry – it’s my favorite post of the day, so it will be published and I rarely sleep in past 6:30 a.m. – so it won’t ever be too late. 🙂
Today is the last day to get Christmas delivery for Amazon Prime members. You can sign up for a FREE 30-day trial of Prime and get free shipping, but I’m warning you, I signed up after my free trial because it was so insanely convenient to order a $2 item and have it shipped in 2 days for free. Amazon Prime costs $79 a year – or $6.58 a month.
Make sure and check out this Amazon Toy List – it’s insane. That last time I updated it was last night around 5 p.m. I’ll try and update it later this morning. Remember we also put together this Costco Toy List – also a great resource for those last minute gifts.

Check your Safeway Just For U account, I was shocked to see this new offer – get 70 cents off per gallon of fuel when you spend $90 on one shopping trip. The offer is valid until 12/25/12 and is unlimited. So you could potentially do multiple transactions to get multiple rewards. If you have a 15 gallon tank, this would save you $10.50 in gas!
RECIPES & MEAL PLANNING
What are your serving for a holiday meal? We posted a round-up of the best prime rib, turkey and ham prices yesterday. Hope it’s helpful.
I’m going to republish my holiday recipe e-book later today. It’s a treat, so watch for it. The recipes are from most of you readers, so it holds a special place in my heart. Should be up by 10 a.m. today.

I like your personalized Safeway offer better than mine…I have to spend $150 to get an 80c reward! That’s ok, though, because I don’t think I’m braving the grocery store before Christmas – bet it’s nuts!

I know all about early rising babies. If they’re asleep, you better be too! 🙂
