How many of you are decorated and wrapped

[Bella the Ball 360]

I am comletely wrapped for Christmas (it took two full days) and 99% decorated with two 9 ft trees garland mantles etc.

I must say that the kids stuff is easier to wrap this year as it has been the last few years. I got four sets of nesting boxes in different prints. NOw that they are older the presents look like nothing. Think of the size of an ipod and then the cost. WEll I fill all 24 nesting boxes with different things. Yes they do get a couple of very big gifts but even cd's are costly and look better in a larger less guessable box. It has worked great just put the gift in the box without regard to the size little gifts often go into big boxes to disguise them. Then I just put curling ribbon around the outside to keep away prying eyes. I am recycling too (no I am not big into that). Each child knows his box print so it is very easy. I love my "box system".

Who else is done with their Christmas Prep?

I was fully decorated, tree and house last Sunday and today I have finished wrapping everything I have in the house. I am still waiting on 4 gifts to arrive from Amazon and then I will be done wrapping. Shopping is pretty much done as well, just need to shop for my stocking stuffers.

The tree is up and decorated the house is decorated, the table is set (although we will not be home for the holiday) the house isn't clean yet though.

I've wrapped about 30 gifts, as soon as the rest of the gifts get delivered, about 7, I'll be done wrapping and done shopping!

mostly finished shopping but I tend to shop until Christmas Eve even if Im finished! lol
mostly decorated - I did it alone this year. I usually do but I fight to get them to help - this yr I just made a Mickey tree!
havent started wrapping though - havent written out the Christmas cards yet either

We haven't decorated a lot since we're still in an apartment, but our tree is decorated, the stockings are hung, other little things are out. We've been wrapping things as we bought them, so only a few things remain unwrapped. I have 5 more people to finish shopping for, but they're all people who get smaller gifts to begin with. Also, I've addressed all but a couple Christmas cards, just need to sign and stuff. Making progress! Probably won't do more till after finals are over.

All decorated. We did it last weekend. Not a lot to wrap. I got BIL in the grab bag and his gifts are coming this week from Amazon. DH got his Mom and her gift is bought and will be wrapped this week. Our gift to each other is our trip to Disneyland - we leave Thursday!

[antmaril]

I am completely decorated and wrapped. I have a few gift cards to purchase, but that's not a big deal.

It's a great feeling.

 

[cheerful chickadee]

decorating is 100% done, I decided not to put everything up this year, this apartment is so small it ends up looking so cramped and icky with too much going on.

wrapping is about 5% done. I am still waiting on a few things I ordered online to come. I will probably start soon though, I really want to get some of it done.

Baking is 0%. I will start baking a week before Christmas or so. I tried doing some earlier in the month last year and froze both baked cookies and dough but they didn't turn out the way I like them. So it's back to baking like a mad woman for a week straight. Hey, I'll have time since the wrapping will be done...or should be done!

 

[TwinMom7]

Yep, I'm done - decorated and wrapped!!!

 

[MUFFYCAT]

I've done all the decorating for this year. Didn't do as much as last year because our house is in construction.
Wrapping- NO! I'll take a day off next week and wrap while the kids are at school.

 

[jennyl772003]
