I'm done shopping, about halfway done wrapping, and about halfway done baking. I really need to get on the ball with the baking especially. I'm half tempted to save myself some time on the wrapping, and say Santa doesn't wrap presents. ;)

*Sits on Santa's lap...and bounces* Nope, I haven't been a good boy. Being a naughty boy is more fun. (I don't want to be a good girl, either.) I've pretty much got my shopping done...for Scott, his guy and their Pooper dog. I may see another item or two I'll pick up on the spur of the money, but I'm done for the most part. Nothing is wrapped yet, thought. I just made out my Christmas cards today and dropped them in the mail tonight. I haven't done a bit of decorating yet. I don't know if I'm going to or not...depends on my mood the closer Christmas gets. Why bother for just me when nobody stops by. I won't do my baking until the day before Christmas...so everything is nice and fresh. I'll just be glad when the holidays pass. Being single and alone, I'm not to thrilled with to begin with. I'm not called Rob Humbug for nothing!

I haven't done anything more than look, save ideas, and save money so far. I know about what I'm getting/doing for each person. Now I just need to do it! A lot of my gifts are homemade this year, and I've got time.

Good luck to everyone and best holiday wishes! =)

Shopping: No! Was I supposed to start already?
Wrapping: Nothing to wrap yet.
Cookie baking: Hey, that's a good idea. I'll have to look up gluten-free cookie recipes because my daughter and grandson will be here.
Been good? Sure. Just ask William Dotani!

I have done quite a bit of shopping, absolutely NO wrapping yet, and still have a bit of shopping left to do. We have a large family and lots of wonderful friends that I shop for....not extravagently, but a little something for all.

I have been bad, very bad, I probably need a spanking. The only shopping I have done has been online and paid for gift wrapping.

LovingLife ~ arghhhhhhh is so right my friend. I don't know but this year with Thanksgiving coming in a week late everything is jumbled up and confused and we are running out of time!

I'm thinking that I may not even put up a tree this year in my home since we are going to be moving very soon! I am having a kanipchin attack I am so far behind!

I absolutely enjoyed "Silent Night"! :-) But, Esther, dear, since my Church celebrates Christmas on January, 7, I'm probably the only one on this thread who has not one, but TWO Christmases per year - and who has more time than anybody else here to be a "good girl"!

Hugs and blessings - S.

The decorating is almost done. The shopping was finished today, but nothing is wrapped. I will start making my breads and some cookies tomorrow that I will give to friends and neighbors. I also need to get some of them out in the mail so I better get busy. And I am still waiting for some things to come in the mail, that are gifts. Didn't realize it before but yikes I am way behind. Better get off this computer and get busy, I don't even have my cards written out yet and I usually mail them on the first of December.

shopping is just about done, decorating the tree tomorrow night, started wrapping, but no where near done doing that! The wrapping is the biggest job!

The tree is decorated, most of the shopping is done. None of the baking is done, some of the wrapping is done. Cards have not been sent out either!
