Sooo...Christmas has decided to sneak up on me this year. I'm not even half way finished with my shopping and I've yet to wrap one gift. Life's been too hectic lately with work and sick kids. I have finished most of my shopping for the boys, but still need a few more things for them and stocking stuffers, but I don't have ONE. single. gift for Husband, or my parents, or sister, or grandparents! And, I have NO idea what to get any of them! Any one else waited to the last minute? Please tell me I'm not alone.
 
I went last night and got all the Kids Christmas gifts, I still need to pick up 1 more thing each. Both me and dh's gifts are getting picked up next week. Yep I'm a last minute shopper, I love it :)
 
Oh, me, too! I still have to buy for my kids and hubby. Plenty of time, right?? :)
 
I just have a few things left to get. We got a Wii for our family's Christmas this year,and we tend to go pretty simple for others too, so I am actually feeling pretty good about things for the moment. I do need to just get finished though and I will feel better.
 
All I have left to get is a few more stocking stuffers for the kids, and then for DH and I too. I have to wrap everything. Anything I ordered online (which was 90% of my shopping) was sent to my parents' house so I have to wrap it once we get there.
 
Don't. Want. To. Think. About. It.

Barely started here. Got my mom and DH done but nothing else. Oi!
 
I got my DD gift sent off to her. I have gotten the two little girls something, but the rest of the family I havent even started on it yet. Im so bad...hhehe.. I usually wait till the last minute. .... or
I just get run over by the reindeers.. lol.
 
Thanks to my mom's visit earlier this month, I am DONE! :) I didn't have that many gifts to think of anyway.
 
Ugh! I'm with you. Kids are pretty much done, but my poor poor husband is getting the shaft. I can't think of a single thing to get him. All other adults are getting gift cards! I'm too crazy this year to worry about it. Macy's gift cards for everyone!
 
I've got to pick up one more game for the kids, and stocking stuffers. Oh, and something for my little nephew.
I also need to get wrapping paper, and tape. Bleh.
 
I've only just started shopping! Still have lots to do. I ordered some stuff online to get started and I'm going to try to stop at Toys R Us on my way home tonight!
 
I'm done. I'm mailing the packages out tomorrow to my nieces and nephews and to my oldest in Texas. I need to wrap the gifts yet, but it's just a few big things. My dh just had his birthday so he got his kindle fire, and I bought him a laptop for Christmas...his is pretty old and I wanted him to have a built in webcam for when he travels.
 
It doesn't bother me to shop last minute. Maybe I just shop at weird hours, but I never notice the stores being THAT much more crowded than usual. There have been a couple times when I had to sub in something that I wanted to get because it wasn't in stock and there was no time to get it shipped to me, but otherwise... no biggie.

I have a couple gifts for DD purchased and both the kids' yearly ornaments, and that's it so far. My family's Christmas is this weekend, so I will get something for my nephew and make prints of DD for everyone else and call it good.
 
I'm probably 75% done. Mostly odds and ends left to pick up, like stocking stuffers. I'm really struggling on what to get my 11 month old. She has gotten a ton of hand-me-down toys from her sisters and is content with those. But I want to get her at least one thing to open on Christmas but I can't think of anything! It is driving me insane I tell ya! Oh and I guess I should be planning her b-day present to since that comes up the second week of January!
