TammyinTN Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I'm done and spent the morning wrapping all the gifts and getting tons of packages ready to mail home.

Jen in PA Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I'm 95% done with all of my Hanukkah and Christmas shopping. Actually, aside from one thing I still have to pick up for dh and the "big thing" we have planned for the kids, it's down to baking, finishing up a knitting project, and shipping it all out. I am mailing my cards out today. I wrapped as I went so that it wouldn't seem overwhelming. This is the first year I planned ahead like this, and I'm hoping that it will make December a bit less stressful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdrumm4448 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I was done by Halloween. But now the dreaded wrapping. My kids and I are going to spend the day decorating for Christmas, listening to Christmas music and stories, and hanging out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2denj Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 OK, I am officially jealous! I haven't even started shopping yet:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivetails Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I haven't even started shopping yet:glare: Same here. I'm always one of the last minute people...and now that we live 5000km away from our families...well....last Christmas some of them got their presents in February. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Almost. It is hard because I only have a couple pay cheques I can afford to use for shopping and they come only once per month. I did about 75% of my shopping on the 20th of October(plus the stuff I had mail ordered with our school stuff earlier in the year), and will finish on the 13th of December when I get the next cheque. I have not started wrapping yet though because I have had to hide it all at my folks place to keep the kids out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmamainva Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 We're finished!!! We have one gift left for my brother-in-law that we ordered online, and one of my son's X-Box 360 games isn't released until Dec. 22nd, but we pre-ordered it so I just have to pick it up. But everything is wrapped and we put the Christmas tree up today!!! Woo hoo! I'm ready! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Yes, we are well, mostly done. Our DD is visiting from MN and we wont' see them over Christmas, we opened gifts to and from them on Monday night. We have most of the rest of the family bought and wrapped! We will keep adding with a few gift cards and things we havene;t bought yet, but mostly done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbsweetpea Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I just have to finish my photo books and order them. Other than that I am done. I have all the kids stuff wrapped. My poor hubby will still need to put together the items Santa leaves. I am trying to convince Santa to bring them early so Daddy can put items together in secret before hand. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I need to buy three peacock feathers at the Sunday market, then my shopping is done, I think. I still need to finish some handmade things though. I think they'll get done on time :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I am jealous! I am usually done by now and with finances this year, I haven't even started. Top it off, my DH and three of the kids birthdays fall in the next two weeks. It's going to be a quieter Christmas as far as gifts go this year.

elise1mds Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I'm nearly done. I need to get DH one thing and work out what to get for my father and stepmother, who have EVERYTHING, but other than that, it's all completed. The kids and I will decorate the house and I'll send out cards this week, and I never do the wrapping till a night or two before since we have no good place to hide things that are wrapped. Other than that, it's just the baking to do, since I give small loaves of bread to family each Christmas. It feels GOOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 We're more done now than a week ago :D Basically, aside from stockings, the kids are pretty done. I have to shop for Wolf yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnitaMcC Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I'm done and spent the morning wrapping all the gifts and getting tons of packages ready to mail home. I'm so excited about the holidays!:DOh and the Christmas Markets are open!!!:D:D:D ROFL..... I am barely started. I have 13 people to shop for and no clue what to get 10 of them. These are people who will be at my house Christmas and I don't like to just give gift cards. I like them to open at least one surprise gift that they would love. I went out yesterday (no not early... left house at 8am) and got quite a bit of the traditional gifts of jeans for Dh and kids, Pj's for everyone. Was able to get a few gifts for youngest Ds and a few things for Dd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
