elise1mds Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Christmas shopping is DONE! I ordered the last 'big' Christmas gift five minutes ago, a play tent for my niece. My husband is accepting an IOU for his gift since he wants an iPad and wants to wait to see what the new ones look like in late January/early February, which is when his birthday is anyway, and I've gotten all but the Christmas ornament stocking stuffers for my kids, and I know what I want to get and they're at Hallmark, which is two minutes away from my house in a never-busy strip mall. *squeal of happiness* I've made all the presents for family (except the bread), and I refuse to be guilted into buying more. My daughter has decided she doesn't have to have a Christmas dress this year, and my son has already found the 'perfect' sweater. My husband even put up the Christmas lights last weekend, though we won't turn them on till December. He's working weekends between now and Christmas, so he had to get it done early. I am in heaven. I can hibernate through New Year's. *sigh of contentment* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujsky Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Doesn't it feel great? All I have left is a gift for my friends' son, a Nook for my mom, a few gift cards for other family members, and I'm planning to make a couple of doll outfits and a carrying bag for DD's American Girl dolls. People hate me, but we do both Christmas and Hanukkah (which is really early this year) so I needed to get things done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammyla Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Congratulations! It's been years since I was done early.:001_huh: I wonder if I could try for just after Thanksgiving this year.:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 :party: Congratulations!!! Last year, I thought I was done early, but ended up doing a lot more shopping in December anyway. It was all stress-free, though, because I already had everything I needed, and I was able to enjoy every minute of it. I have to admit that I love to shop, so even when I'm "done," I'm never really done... ;) Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 :tongue_smilie: for both of you. :lol: Jealousy rearing it's ugly head here. Before I homeschooled, I was always done way before Thanksgiving. Now, not so much. I have one shirt for one of my dds, and some crochet stuff for the other, that's it. Nothing else. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I do know what I'm getting for ds, but haven't had time to get it. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookfiend Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Green with envy over here. I'm typically a done early girl myself. Life intervened, and I am facing December with NOTHING! Sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherry in OH Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Congratulations! I have all but stocking stuffers done for my children and all other children's gifts purchased. I still have at least 4 adult gifts to get, possibly more. DH's family never decides about Christmas gift exchanges until Thanksgiving. This year, they are celebrating Thanksgiving on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I am really hoping they decide no adult gifts or a gift card exchange this year.

missmoe Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Haven't done anything YET! We're buying passports for everyone this year and I believe a new stove! Of course , we'll also have stockings stuffed. Good for all of you early birds---I'm impressed. I'm still trying to pull together a plan for Thanksgiving next week!

Plucky Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Yes, I love that feeling. Almost done here, too. I'm going to start wrapping some things today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
