Christmas All Wrapped Up

**Bournecrazy** · 12-03-2008, 05:16 PM

I have most of my christmas presents wrapped and tagged, all ready to go.
But im making everyone wait as i am hiding them all until christmas night then i will bring them all down during the night ready for the morning.

I am going to decorate soon, i made home-made paper chains i will put together.

How is everyone else's Christmas build up going?

I am still working on gifts. I will buy gift cards or give cash to most of my relatives. I am almost done with my son's gifts, just a couple more from me and then one or two from Santa. I haven't wrapped anything, I will have to wait until he is at his dad's house over the weekend to work on that.

the only reason why i did it today was that nobody was around. i just have cards to write out

I have about 10 gifts wrapped and under the tree. Still have at least another 25-30 waiting to be wrapped.

Our house has been alomst 100% decorated for two weeks. The garland and bows are on the privacy fence. Wreaths and bows are on the windows and mailbox. The "Sleigh Bells Ring" sign is hanging on the front door. All of the snowmen, santas and reindeer are placed all around the house. The "Jingle Bell Rock" singing and dancing Santa and light up Frosty are on the table as you come in the front door. Christmas cookies are in the Christmas cookie jar. Still need to put the ribbon around the collums on the front porch so they look like candy canes and do a few other small things to finish up my decorating.

All of my cards for the FV swap will go out by Monday and cards to family and RL friends soon after.

I have all my gifts minus the candy I have to make. I'm going to wrap this weekend and make the candy next weekend and that's it. Oh decorate... I'll be doing that this weekend and putting up the tree on Monday.

I wrapped all of the gifts for my kids last night. They are still young, so I keep them in a storage unit in our communal parking garage. My sister said "Why don't you just wrap them on Christmas Eve?". I told her that she will learn that when your kids don't go to sleep until 2 am because they are excited, the last thing you wanna do is spend a couple of hours wrapping presents.

Shopping is done. All my kid's stuff is wrapped. Have to wrap my nephew's gift. I need to get my cards done. I will get the cards out when I get all the decorations up from the basement tomorrow. Tomorrow is our day to put the tree up. We are going to hang some garland and lights up on the porch railing. We'll do that tomorrow too.

All in all I feel like I am well prepared.

I am just about done shopping and starting to wrap. This year I am using home made wrapping ideas like reuseable fraps (fabric wrappers) and bags that can be used
over and over again.

Next up - since it is still so early - getting my hubby to put up the lights. We switched to LED lights last year to cut electricity costs.
