LOL.......just posted on the thread Alison.
No Debbie...I HAVE NOT finished my Xmas shopping yet. Probably about 75%. But what's left should be with DH's assistance on WHAT to get, and I don't intend to do ANYTHING else after the weekend, except wrap. What's left is my youngest stepson...which will be money and or gift certs with a token "to open" thing...same for middle stepson and his SO, and stepdaughter and her DH. DH just needs to help me with what gift cards/how much (depends on the token "to open" gift too. ) The grandbabies and oldest stepson & DIL are done, DD is done (except DH making her shelves for her bedroom which he will do this weekend at his son's house) , MIL and my parents and my nieces/nephews are done.
DH is done........we're not doing much for each other (waiting for FL in January!
).....a couple of things to open ....and we bought some pieces for a new everday dinnerware set we just started. So we're sort of going to wrap it up and open it together hehehe. We each came into this marriage with plenty of odds and ends of housekeeping items/dishes. Over the summer we decided we were going to "register" for a Pfaltgraf pattern of everyday dishes and build up to service for 12-16 and serving peices, by telling the kids that that's what we want for our birthdays and Xmas, Mother's and Father's Days, etc. So we got place settings for 4 for my birthday in July. Do you think ANYONE asked what to give DH for his B-day in October? nah. So For Xmas we have ordered another 4 settings, a platter, a veg serving bowl, and candle holders. Do you think ANY of the kids have asked what we want for Xmas this year? nah. But when they do (around the 20th or so) I am directing them to Pfaltzgraff.com where I have a wish list hehehehe
OOPS...I'm rambling.......
have a good night. I REALLY should go wrap.
Got her the $60+ thingie (a mat for the tub with a tube attached to a motor thing) that you use to "turn your bathtub into a spa"...I think she's used it maybe a half dozen times............
