Are you done with your shopping?

I'm about half-way through, but we don't even have our tree up! I'm hoping to get that done tonight.

What's the status of your Christmas activities??
 
I'm almost done shopping but I think that every year and something or someone always comes up. Our house is somewhat decorated, tree is up, some decos no gifts wrapped yet...but we'll do that in one fell swoop. Things are so crazy and hectic, I'm actually surprised that we've gotten so much done :)
 
Planning for Christmas has been eclipsed this year by planning for the social event of the decade - DD's 6th birthday party! It's this weekend so once that is out of the way I can start thinking about Christmas!

We do have the tree up though :tree
 
Let's see...

Shopping - almost all done, need to pick up a couple gift certificates and then buy some more things for DH. But first I need to figure out what to get him.

Baking - still wrestling with myself about how many kinds to make. I end up being about the only one eating them unless I give them away. So I should just skip them all. :rollingpin But thats not going to happen. I just need to do more of this... :run

There are a few more presents to wrap.

But wow, I am futher ahead of things than I thought. Woo Hoo!! Not time to sit back and enjoy the season.
 
Pretty much ready! Tree is up, presents bought, presents wrapped, parties have already started!
 
ackkk !! i finished decorating earlier this week - but i'm not even close to finishing up my shopping :( i'll try to focus on that this weekend ... we do secret santas in my family - which is great because i only have to buy a couple of gifts, but this year i drew one of my uncles and i am not coming up with ANYTHING to get him ! girls are so much easier to buy for ;) LOL!
 
well as of now im done,i just need to wrap rhys ipod now i loaded it with music but apart from that ive wrapped the rest earlier today tree is up just waiting for santa now
 
My shopping is almost done. I've done the majority of it online this year because I just hate fighting the crowds. I'm planning to finish up today with a bit of IRL shopping. The decorating is also mostly done. I wanted to do all my banisters this year, but I couldn't find any garland I love so they are still naked. LOL Other than wrapping, I'm in good shape. I won't start baking until my girls are done with school because they love to help. My big failing this year is that we were too sick to get our Christmas pics done, so there's no card yet. I'm *this* close to not doing one, but I feel guilty about it...
 
Presents are almost done, tree is up. Now if i could get the dog to stop eating the damn lights! WTF
 
Eeek!!! Well, ish. I still have quite a lot of shopping to accomplish. And sending out of cards. And wrapping. Eek!
 
Let's see.... shopping was completed in early November, the house is decorated, I'm waiting on my Christmas cards to arrive so I can send them out,and crafts are ready to go for DS's first grade party. I have not however... taken the kids to see Santa, done the Tacky Light Tour with the fam, made our Gingerbread house, or wrapped presents. My sister is getting married this Sunday and I feel like my life has been put on hold until the wedding is over. Oh... and did I mention my house is for sale so I am finding myself having to leave for an hour and a half each time someone schedules and appt? Yeah, good times!
 
I think I am done with everything but stockings for my kids. Then I still have to do Nieces and nephew and grandparents. I am starting to just wish it was over. lol! The house is decorated and everything is wrapped so far! so yay for that. lol
 
decorating. check. present. ummm..yeah. really need to get to work on that. We took care of Santa about a month ago but we still have everyone else to shop for. Plan to get a good chunk knocked out tomorrow night though. We have a sitter coming and DH and I are hitting the stores.

oh and christmas cards! I have to get a pic this weekend and get those done, too. ACK!
 
I can't get all 5 people in this household to all be home at the same time to do a photo! midnight doesn't count,
but if ya'll end up seeing a horrendous flash pic on our card, you'll know. hahaha.
 
ARGH!!!! I'm so far behind! :helpy :groan

We got the tree in the house yesterday, but it's not decorated yet. DH got the boxes of decorations down from the attic yesterday, so I can start decorating. I'm almost done with my shopping. I've got a couple things to buy for DH...but we are DONE with everything for the boys. I'll be baking th week of Christmas, since I'll be home from work that week. I need to rearrange my craft room so my brother can sleep there when he comes for Christmas. And, since the 'Rents are coming as well, I need to get the house in shape for 3 additional adults. :groan
 
Our tree is up, the house is almost decorated. I'm almost done with the shopping - most of it was done online and sent to family directly. The presents the kids have bought are wrapped and under the tree - just 8 of them or so. I still have to finish our cards and get calendars done. I skipped doing the calendar last year and didn't hear the end of it from our families.

DH's birthday is this weekend and DS is having his birthday party next weekend so I'm a bit overwhelmed with all of that. And my best friend's baby has been very sick and is fighting for his life - that is trumping all right now. Can't think about Christmas too much.
 
I thought I was doing so well because I'm finished with the kids, nieces, nephews, etc. but just made up my list tonight for teachers, co-workers, and discovered I'm not as ahead of the game as I thought!
