Yes completly done, no traveling.

NJ, MA, DE are all places we're visiting in the next 10 days. Lots of travelling and we rent a car so as to not put the miles on our car!

I'm finished decorating, probably will do more baking, here and in NJ.

No decorating in WA, but we put up a very small tree in AZ.
We had our first celebration today. DS and DDIL leave tomorrow for CA to visit her family.
I spent all morning wrapping their presents, so now I still have DD's to get wrapped.

Everything is almost done, just have a few more gifts to purchase and will be going shopping with my oldest son this week so he can get his shopping done. He just returned from college last night, just in time for the snow storm. We have Christmas Eve at our home with my DH parents and we will be traveling to my sister's on Christmas afternoon, she lives about an hour from us. Since we couldn't get out today due to the snow, I baked cookies all day, it was a nice way to spend a snowy day.

Are you ready for Christmas? All decorations up? Presents bought? Wrapped?
Anyone traveling?

Decorations - check, Presents - check, WRAPPED - NOT! Local travel only on Eve.

Mery Christmas!

 

[Danauk]

I am nearly ready. All presents are bought and almost all wrapped. The house is being cleaned this week, we are still doing a little DIY at the moment but that will be finished tomorrow. All my family are travelling to us on Christmas day, at the moment I am hoping the snow will ease and they will make it (my parents have a 2 hour drive south and my SIL/BIL/Nephew have a 2 1/2 hour drive North.)

Holiday parties.....do you host any? Do you go to any? Friends, companies?

 

[Danauk]

Our work party was on Friday, but most people didn't stay long due to the bad weather. We are hosting Christmas day but no parties this year.

 

[bobbiwoz]

We went to MVMCP, I hope that counts, because that's the only one!

We also are hosting Christmas day. There will be 8, DMom, DUnc, DSis/her DSO, DH, 2 coast guard recruits (we have to add some excitement into the mix) and myself!

No, I wouldn't call them gathering a holiday party, but we always gets together for my father's birthday on Dec 22nd. And this year my brother is having a open house for everyone to come and see his son since he couldn't make it down until Christmas evening. Plus, my sister is having a get together for her DD birthday. Than we always have our old neighbor over for New Year's Eve. We are going to have a busy Holiday.

With all the bad weather reported.....what is the temp where you are? How much snow did you get? How much do you have left?

 

[Pooh67_68]

Right now according to weather.com its 25 (feels like 12). The 4" with ice on top that we got before this last storm was still here, then we got anoter 6" and I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon.
