I have wrapped everything that I've bought. I have only a few more gifts to buy. I baked cookies today and made Oreo balls today so that's done. Cards are all finished. I'm close....very close....to being finished. YAY! I have fun though. I know some get stressed, trying to shop, wrap, bake, ship, etc.....but me...I shop all year and just wait until after Thanksgiving to start wrapping. I always have a present or two to get for my kids a month or so before Christmas but the majority of my shopping is always done well before Thanksgiving.

Is anyone done...............

I don't do cards, only a few more things need wrapping, I have one more gift to buy (I gave dh the joy of picking up the other 3 or 4 gifts we need to get :-) I need to make Whiskey Cake on Monday (it takes two weeks to "steep" ;-) and I need to make some cut out cookies and a few other types - I have to see what the kids would like to make this year. I sure don't need cookies in the house to be eating, though :-P

Just starting but really hopping now put up the tree tonight ordered some cards at harolds yesterday got 10 for $10 with 2 pics of the kids on them will get them back thurs & mail them off. Shopped thursday & friday got my kids a few things & some $1 bags at Target to make bags for relatives with my freebies

Definately not! I am done shopping that's it. I have got the lights and decorations on the outside of the house (had to do that when it was 70 this week since it was getting cold this weekend). I have not put up the tree yet, plan on doing that tomorrow, have not done my Christmas cards yet, have not wrapped everything, I have not baked anything yet.

I am 85% finished shopping... About to go start wrapping right now. Going to hopefully get my cards done too, and perhaps bake some banana bread to take to work tomorrow.

Or maybe take a nap. We will see what wins out lol.

Don't I wish....I'm barely started.....just haven't had the time, plus we are just having a hard time getting in the holiday spirit.

I'm actually a little ahead of myself this year than past years.

I've bought a lot of my gifts
I've set up our spare room for wrapping gifts with everything set out
I've bought my Christmas cards and am going to address them tonight
I've put up my Christmas tree and decorated the house
I've done some baking

I'm in the Christmas spirit this year -- something I wasn't in last year!! I think that makes a difference!

So --- MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I am done with except wrapping, which will not be done until Dec 23rd. We are driving to Texas for Christmas and taking with us over 75 gifts. It is easier to throw all the gifts into a bin and wrap when we get there, instead of wrapping everything and trying not to ruin the wrapping when loading the car.

Polve- we are going to Texas too... Perhaps we will drive past each other.

I have decided after doing Christmas both ways (wrapping when we get there, and wrapping at home), that I would rather wrap here and tape up any boo-boos. Time at home is so short, I hate to "waste" it wrapping.

The gifts did look nicer the other way though.

Christmas Cards done and most of the presents were bought throughout the year except for the "big" gift Santa brings from Florida from Grandma, we'll get that on the 18th and I'll be finished with everything but wrapping and trying to remember where I hid everything LOL.

Not baking this year since I took a Job and have training the week before Christmas not going to have time, sure gonna dissapoint a lot of my neighbors especially some of the shut-ins.

Oh I wish I was finished. Have all the gifts to mail out done, just need to wrap a few more. I would love to have all my packages ready to mail by the end of the week. Santa is no where near being done, my children can't seem to give me any ideas other than the really big ticket items they want. Baking haven't even started. I'm so behind this year. I like to have all gifts and Santa done before Thanksgiving. I went back to work this year and just can't seem to find the time. Money is tight and I'm still hoping to pick up some deals before Christmas eve. I can see it now I will be one of those last minute shoppers this year fighting the crowds. Oh what joy! NOT!
