[Jenn Lynn]

I still have to:
-Buy 2 white Elephant gifts
-Buy one gift for a female (general)
-Find a gift for DH's office exchange
-Buy SIL/BIL gift (I know what I am getting)
-Have DH write out Christmas cards for his office
-Wrap 4 presents
-Bake lots of stuff! (Who is going to eat it all??)

I have already:
-Written and mailed family and friends Christmas cards
-Made/mailed invites to MIL Christmas party (I volunteered)
-Wrapped and mailed presents to my family
-Wrapped all of DD and DH's presents except 4
-Made sugar cookies
-Decorate Tree and house

Last week I felt so overwhelmed. I feel better now that I have most everything done.

I couldn't believe it today when I looked at the calendar and realized Christmas was only 2 weeks away! I just made myself to a TON of stuff last weekend. I kept asking DH to help me and he said "I will, but not now. We have plenty of time." The man has no idea!

Good luck!

addressing more cards and buying gifts

NOTHING left to do. Tree is up, gifts bought, wrapped and just waiting.

Guess I'll be "wasting" my time in Disney for a few days!

Man I can't wait to go.

Gift buying was real fun this year. Can't believe the deals/sales I got on stuff!!!

 

[DD2Disney]

What I have left:

Buy DMIL gift (we know what we are getting her)

Send Family Christmas cards (waiting for photos-they are available today but DH is soooo sick don't know when I will be able to go get them)

Holiday baking: I am making pumpkin choc chip cookies and peanut butter cookies.

wrap about 6 things.

Everything else is done. I got an early start this year and everything is wrapped and ready to go under the tree. Everyone in the family except DMIL just go GC so that was really easy.

Believe it or not (please don't laugh) last night I was kind of sad because I didn't have any of that "Christmas" stuff to do. I don't want to bake too early. Ok maybe I am just weird. But I don't think I will wrap up everything so soon next year.

I have not wrapped anything yet! YIKES!

I have to buy my "Angel Tree" gifts and make a gift card run for about 6 or 8 gifts.

I also hae to cook for 3 pot-luck dinners this week-end.

 

[Meriweather]

One package to take to the post office tomorrow.
That's it!! All done!!

 

[browneyes]

~Buy my niece and nephew's bday and Christmas presents (their birthdays are 5 days before Christmas).
~Take my kids to the mall to see about maybe one or 2 more last minute things they might want.
~Buy my kids' teachers something
~Buy gifts for the 2 drawn names my kids got up at my SO's dad's house

Then I get to bake all day on the 23rd for our dinner on the 24th.

 

[tkyes]

Pick up 3 gift certificates

Wrap my "angel" gift and a couple more misc. presents

Get DH his big present.

Get the rest of DH's birthday gift (Dec. 25)

Finish making handmade ornaments for the kids in the family.


Not too much left to do. I'll be home this weekend with no plans so I should be able to get most if not all of it done!

-Presents need to be wrapped
-A couple of gift certificates to purchase
-Preparing Christmas cards (Need to have copies made of a picture of our family from WDW last week to include)
-Make out grocery list for items that need to be prepared for certain dinners coming up

That is all I can think of right at the moment, I'm sure there is more to add.

I really need to figure out all that I have stashed away. I started last weekend but there are bags of stuff DH stashed that I can't get to. I need time to get it all out and in one place so I can decide what I'm going to keep and what's going to be returned (before Christmas because I way over did it this year and DH is going to kill me if he sees it all).

In order to do that, I need to get my kids out of the house for a good block of time. That means I need to enlist the help of DH and find a just when to do it. It's going to be tough with other things we have on the calendar in the next couple of weeks. I can't see doing it at night as we get up really early and I'd have to put it all back into it's hiding places before we went to bed.

The time is the hardest thing for me to find right now. Somehow it will work out -- it always does.

 

[ILUVDXL]

Everything. I just have no spirit this year.

 

[CamColt]

I have to buy 2 religion teachers gifts, wrap a few, and get another stocking stuffer or 2 for the kids. That will all be done by Sunday.
Then Wednesday I will bake cranberry nut muffins, m&m snowball cookies, and rocky road candies for the neighbors, and cupcakes for DS's class for his birthday. Ill give the neighbors their gifts Friday afternoon between cleaning and packing and then Saturday morning....IM GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!

 

[Jenn Lynn]

CamColt-What are M&M snowball cookies? Sounds yummy!

 

[Alice28]

I am pretty much done.

Have to get a small gift for DH's boss, but he may end up doing that himself (small miracles never cease).

We already shopped, baked, wrapped, and I addressed the Christmas cards today. Mailed off packages today. Tree is up and decorated. I haven't put ribbons on most of the packages because they will sit in the basement til Christmas Eve and I don't want the ribbons to get squished. I have a two year old- doubt he will get the "wait til Christmas" saying if all of the gifts are stacked under the tree.

It's a nice feeling to be done. I am doing some shopping for my Mom as she has to work up until Christmas Eve. I am also going to decorate their Christmas Tree for them (my parents)- they live in CA, but just bought a home here in OR and they're coming Christmas Eve. I want to have a tree up and decorated for them to come "home " to.

I plan on spending the next two weeks relaxing, enjoying Christmas music and TV programs, and going out a few evenings to look at Christmas lights with the kids.

UGH! Do you people work outside the home?!?!?! I'm so far behind it's ridiculous! I've sent the package that had to go. I've bought all the charity gifts. My triplet niece & nephews' BD is Monday - bought their gifts. DS's BD is this Friday - he's done.

Still left to do: address & send cards
figure out WHAT to give DH this year!
help DH figure out what to get the poeple in his dept (he's the manager)
buy for both DS's
buy my family Secret Santa gift
buy for the triplets & their older brother
BAKE COOKIES!!!!
buy stocking stuffers
I know there's more to do.....

 

[Cindy B]

DH: has to do kids stockings, and do shopping for me...he is also going to Lowe's to get a GC for my dad. (shh... don't tell DaD!)

And I am also going to the lcoal grocery store for my grandparents gift (they need/want grocery store GC's)

As for me, I've been done! And wrapped.
