I actually am mostly done. I have 2 gift certificates to buy yet and that is all.
I even have everything wrapped!:eek:
This is so highly unusual for me! I am usually fighting the crowd at the last minute. And I usually have a marathon wrapping session the weekend before Christmas. But this year I have to work this coming weekend, my day off is next Wednesday, and then I am off the following weekend, but we are having my mom's side on the 19th so I had to have everything wrapped before then! The 15th - my day off really had a monkey wrench thrown in b/c was called for Jury Duty that day, but got a postcard today saying the trial had been vacated! *whew!*
I wrapped everything I had on Sunday, and then was off Monday so finished up my shopping and went ahead and wrapped everything I bought that nite.
Well, I do have to buy the supplies for the cookies in the jar, I am making flour sugar etc, and have to assemble them.
Just wondering where everyone stood. :)

I've barely even started! :o My punishment will be battling the crowds next week! *shudder* However, I really don't have too many things I need to buy as I'm making a lot of gifts this year. I don't have a job this semester so money is quite tight.
Congrats on being so organized, Miss Staci! :D *pats Staci on the back*

Well...I finished shoping for all the the animals...and in my family that is a lot!!! (including ours, in JUST the family we have 19 dogs and 2 cats to buy for).

As for humans, I have bought one small thing for Ralph, and my mom picked up something for Jasmine for me yesterday. I've got a lot to do in the near future!!!

I've gotten 3 out of 20 people finished. I can't even think of what to get everyone. I'm so stressed out.

I am really struggling with my parents, they have everything. I can't think of anything to get them.

I am almost done. I plan to do some more shopping today. I love to shop, though, and i don't mind the crowds too much, but my 3 year old son would beg to differ ;) When he is with me in a long line, and he has had enough of the shopping, it is no fun keeping him occupied, while we wait to get to the register and out of there!!...so I love it when I can leave him home with hubby to shop... :)

Not yet... still got one more "big" present for my husband, my dad, my brother and his fiancee, and all of my husband's family (mom, dad, & two brothers). And a couple friends too.

My hubby kept telling me that he had a feeling he was going to get laid off close to Christmas, so I had almost all of my shopping done before Thanksgiving!:eek:

I got finished early this year with my Christmas shopping. I bought my parents, my grandma, and my dogs and thats it. My parents buy the rest of my family gifts so I don't have to worry about that.

lol I have had too much homework to be able to go anywhere for shopping, BUT I get out from school a week earlier then every other school, so I get 3 weeks of christmas break instead of 2, which means I can go shopping while everyone else is at work or school lol

This is the first year ever that I haven't waited for the week before Christmas . . . I decided this year to get it out of the way so I could actually ENJOY the holidays! What a concept! LOL
