Is Everybody Done?
Are all of you done shopping, wrapping, grocery shopping for the Christmas meal, cards sent out, etc ~ etc...Are ya ready for Christmas? It's just 9 short days away.
 Hubby and I are heading out today to Toys R Us for one last present. Then tomorrow I ship it out. A treat will be to go to Red Lobster for lunch since it's right next door. YUMMY! Even though I can't breath so unable to taste anything, I still know it will be good, ha haaaa. I only sent cards out to my kids and parents this year. Normally I have boxes full to send out but not this year. Just didn't have it in me.  I will go grocery shopping this week for Christmas dinner. Hubby is going to smoke a ham and I will make all the fixings. All of you are welcome to come!  Next Saturday, the 22nd we will have our Little over so I can give her our gifts and make her dinner. She wants Taco Salad and to make brownies. So, that's what we shall do. All in all I'm done.....and I'm thrilled.

Sheryl, I have two presents bought so far for my son and no one else. I usually shop on the weekends and they've been crappy. I shopped a lot last year on line and I should have this year. I'm afraid they may not get here in time if I shop online now. I want to go shopping with you and then to Red Lobster!!! That has to be one of my top two places to eat at. Yum!
I never send cards to family...LOL I see them whenever I want..I just send to friends and then not every year.

My shopping is done, but I don't have a single card written on yet. We're going to my brothers for Christmas next Sunday... both he and my oldest dd work in health care, so will be working on Christmas this year, so we had to improvise in order to get together. So I'm not doing a lot of cooking for a big group.
On Christmas Day I'll have dh home, Joel and Shannon, Josh and Katie all here, so a much smaller group than usual. I asked dh if he wants me to invite either of our mothers here for dinner on Christmas day and he wasn't at all enthusiastic about it, so I guess I won't go that route. LOL He prefers to spend the day here with our own kids, so I'll give him that.

I'm almost done, but not 100%. There's no snow here, so it shouldn't be too hard.
I just do not want to go to Toys R Us again! I'll go tomorrow early and hope they have what I need. I have a great online card place which I use a lot. I bought some vintage(?) Christmas postcards on e-Bay for those people who don't have email, and have some money gifts and cookies to give. Not too bad.

Done!!!!! Me??!!!!!
 I have a few presents bought. A few ordered on-line. No Christmas cards ready. AND my house is slowly falling to pieces, which means I'll have to clean really hard before everyone comes for Christmas. I am so absolutely NOT READY at all for Christmas!!!! But I know that it will come together so I'm not too worried about it yet. I'm saving that for NEXT WEEKEND!!!!!!!

Diana - your post is funny!  Janet - after I sent this thread I remembered you trying to get out but unable to due to bad weather every weekend. I also thought of you when I was eating at Red Lobster because I remember it being one of your favorite places to eat. I believe it was your hubby who gave you a gift to go there one day for your Birthday? Judy - Toys R Us today was an absolute mad house. So much NOT the place I wanted to be today. I suggest you wear full body armor when you go cuz those insane folks will knock you down.  Tink - I think a good Christmas present for you this year would be a quiet weekend in a cabin tucked away in the woods, all quiet and stuff!

I know, I know! I tell you we have had things we've HAD to go to like you wouldn't believe!! Last week I had play practice for 2 days, performed the play for 2 days, on Sunday night we had a cast party, had the school's Christmas pageant last Thursday, had little kid's play practice yesterday, their performance today, and a Christmas party at church tonight. Besides Christmas stuff my daughter decided to go to the Christmas dance at the last minute so we borrowed a gown and I'm trying to turn it into a size 4 from a size 9-10....which I've done but I have to do some work on the hem to make it shorter. I'm hosting Glen's family party here at the house on the 29th and my family on Jan. 5th. And........I still have to figure in some shopping time if I can keep my sanity!!!!! And then, hubby wants to "cut back on Christmas gifts"!!!!!! Great idea.........WHERE? Anyway the pictures are coming!!! Honest I'll find time somewhere!!!
BTW--Has anyone found any marbles? I'm losing mine!!!!! And if you hear something that sounds like a really loud scream............don't worry.............it's just me letting off steam!!!!!! OMG--I think that the panic is setting in!!!!

I don't know where you find the time but it sure sounds like you are doing a great job at accomplishing it all!!! Ok, so when I hear a scream I will raise my wine glass and drink a toast of relaxation for you! Hang in there, it will all be over soon.
