How much more do you have to do?
Just wondering how much everyone has left to do before Christmas?
I think I have bought all of my presents, unless I have forgotten someone, but I think I have a few gifts stashed away just in case.
I wrapped everything except the gifts for DD and DS. They keep finding my wrapping paper and I need special paper for Santa gifts. DD has figured out the wrapping paper game.
I still have to write out my Christmas cards, but I'll be working on that tonight.
Otherwise, things are mailed and organized. yea! I have to be happy with myself because usually I'm scrambling right to the end.
Current books I'm reading:
The Red Queen
Number of books read in 2012: 13
Number of books read in 2011: 30
Number of books read in 2010: 28
Number of books read in 2009: 23
Number of books read in 2008: 28
Number of books read in 2007: 29
EF: 1000.00

Done! Just put the last of the gifts in Gift Bags and all are in the spare room waiting. Now if I could just get around to the Post Office and mail the cards out all would be fine. Tomorrow hopefully.

I still have to bake all of my cookies, etc. for gifts, but I'll do all of those the weekend before Christmas so they will be fresh.
I did bake bananna bread for gifts this weekend and I will give those out to the teachers/instructors early this week before school is out (out on the 20th thru the new year)Don't Breed or Buy While Shelter Pets Die

I have one more small gift to get. Otherwise all are wrapped or bagged and under the tree. I'm doing great on the prepping for the meal and have my cookies and breads baked.
I'm a happy camper. Come on Christmas

I have several gifts left to purchase, hopefully I'll be finished by Friday the 21st with all of my shopping and wrapping presents. I sent out holiday cards last week. I made cookies all day today to bring in to work tomorrow to share with my co-workers. I'll make the cookies for my family next Saturday and Sunday so they will be fresh for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I think that's it! I am feeling pretty well prepared. I should be ready by Christmas Eve

The children's gifts are all purchased. I have to buy dh's gifts and I have to buy for my father-in-law and for my parents. I also still have to do wrapping. I was going to wrap the other day, but it's easier to hide the gifts unwrapped around here.

I might make a treat, like Turtles, but otherwise I'm done. But I never did anything but get online for BF's presents, and wrap them.

All I have to do is wrap Wesley's presents from Santa Claus and I'll be doing that on Christmas Eve, after he goes to sleep.

Gifts are all purchased and wrapped except for father-in-laws. Just got to pick up a gift card for hiim. I've got to get my grocery list for Christmas dinner made out and give the house a good cleaning.
