    Default Holiday Shopping - Are you done?

    My shopping is done. Have presents wrapped and even purchased myself items this year. Since I did not decorate this year except for two electric candles in the window was able to appreciate the decorations in the stores.

    How about everyone else. Have you finished your holiday shopping?

    Hopefully everyone can relax and truly enjoy the holiday this year.

    I thought I was! But now feel like I need to get the ladies from my Bible Study some little small something. The "poorest" lady in our group got everyone a little candle and card.......... so I now feel like just a Christmas card is not enough...

    No, and were leaving for Vegas tomorrow to visit family. Well be gone until Friday. We were gone for three weeks over thanksgiving, too. I have to get ready to leave today and I have to mail out cards, put up the tree, wrap presents... My budget is shot too. I'm trying not to worry too much about it. January will see us attack our goals with gusto and a tax return.

    Been done with the kids for awhile. Have to pick up my parents gifts this week. Dh and I aren't exchanging, but are going to do stockings, so I will also get a few things for him. Wrapping? Have no idea when to do it. I'm never alone in the house!

    I am finished shopping as well. A lot of 'family/group' gifts and dad's getting re gifted digital picture frame. Friends got cards w/a wedding pic and DH...got a few lil useful things but nothing big. He's still on the hunt to buy me something but I don't want/need anything OR what I do want is something he can't buy or give me.

    All in all - this year's shopping was a breeze. We have set up a few mini Christmas trees and I have set out a few festive plushies and my wooden Santas - not all my stuff but just a few items. Better then last year which was nothing.

    I've got the easy ones done, but am still trying to find a present for my BIL and nephew. I don't know them that well, so it is always tough.

    acabin42 why not just make some cookies or brownies for your study group? No need to go out and buy something. Or you could make some book marks.
