How organised are you this Christmas?

[wifey]

This year we decided to make a good start on sorting out gifts etc for Christmas. We have organised DS's gifts some of which are still to be delivered, we saved our Nectar points all year and used them for DMIL's freeview box, I still need a few items which hopefully I will get tomorrow
after I take DS to school. I'm off work for a week so I will wrap everything and write out the cards etc..
We also bought a Calico Cottage Fudge making kit from QVC and this morning DS and I made our first batch (caramel) and now our house smells like Disney We'll make the fudge and give it as stocking fillers to everyone a kind of personal touch from us
Once our DS's had his birthday I can put up the decorations for Christmas
Are any more Disers this organised this year or may be more so??

I can't believe how organised I am this year. I have written all of my cards plus 2 x lots of cards ofr the Dis. I've bought and wrapped all of the presents. I've found and bought outfits for the crimbo nights out. I've almost filled the freezer with food. Plus I have bought and wrapped my Secret Santa pressie. Patiently waiting now to put the trees up

I am doing well

Just done my Christmas cards for the international exchange, and just finishing off my uk dis ones, plus I have bought stamps for them.

I have wrapped half the presents, and have only a couple to buy.

Being our first Christmas in our own home, I have bought all new decorations plus a tree, got alot of beautiful Christmas decorations in wdw.

So I am doing well, plus the Christmas cake is in the oven

Oh dear......the more I read, the more I panic

I haven't bought a single, solitary, Christmas present yet

It's DD's 8th birthday on the 8th and I can never seem to be able to get my head around Christmas until afterwards!

I still say I'm missing the 'shopping gene', as is DD (22)
We went to Meadowhall last week, walked round for an hour and bought nothing (even though it was the Debenhams discount event) but a chippy butty on the way home as a means of recuperation.........

I have written about half of my cards and am trying to summon the enthusiasm to finish them. Have not bought any pressies, and intend to buy the big ones over the internet. Not panickng yet but watch this space

My mother is doing as well as normal years. She is normally done now, and she still has to get things done. I think me doing my list late may have delayed her a bit..

There are probably others who have done. Thank you internet shopping!

I bought a Calico Cottage kit recently and I'm intending to do the same - have opened the box but not got stuck in yet! Maybe I'll give it a go this afternoon - want to try adding a drop of Baileys to a batch...

I'm totally on top of the Christmas thing! I have finished shopping for everyone - just want to get some special extra bits and pieces for DH as he's such a sweetie. Just got the wrapping to do which I've planned for the weekend of December 2nd/3rd. That's when we're putting the trees up too so for me it'll be the start of Christmas proper...

We're off to 'you know where' in 8 days( ), so I have tried to get all my presents bought and wrapped! Most cards are written, just those that need letters are left, and I am making the puddings tomorrow!

I have bought and wrapped all my presents. I have bought all my cards I just need to write them. We are going to the inlaws for Christmas this year so I don't have to worry about food and stuff which is great.

 

[mandymouse]

My presents are all bought and wrapped up, my cards are written and stamped ready to be posted and I am patiently waiting for Saturday, so I can put my Christmas tree up and then I'll be ready for Christmas

 

[ely3857]

Bought 95% of presents and know what exactly what I still need to buy I just haven't gotten them yet. Going to friends for Christmas lunch then the in-laws for tea so no food worries. Am going to put my tree up next weekend I think. It's so cold outside at the moment it really does feel christmassy I havent written my cards yet but am going to do so on my next week-day off which is in two weeks, will play christmas songs and look at my twinkling tree while i'm at it

[Strommie]

I've got most of dd presents, just got to get her a Lazytown cd and Little Mermaid DVD.
Then I have to get my mum, dad, brother, sister and DBF presents.

I don't send out christmas cards so don't have to worry about that.

we are hoping to put the tree up soon as dd is getting excited. might put it up next week.
she wrote her letter to Santa last night and luckily has asked for things we have already got for her.

We are going to start getting bits a pieces of food in now, however I am not sure if it is a good idea as we drank 3 bottles of champagne and a bottle of wine last week which we were saving for christmas and dd has managed to eat 6 mince pies this weekend!
