Are You Ready For Christmas?

[jaylensmom]

Are you finished shopping...wrapping...baking? I'm curious because I'm about to leave work and go to the mall and I'm afraid of all the people that are last minute shopping....um like myself I know what I want I just hope I can get in and get out without getting hurt

[Darcy Baldwin]

I just have 2 Target gift certificates to pick up - and I'm done!

And ever once did I enter the mall this year! WOOT!

Good luck to you!

[MandaT]

Not ready. I *think* all our gifts are bought, still have a few to make tonight/tomorrow, baking is done, cards should be arriving on the FedEx truck tonight, to go out tomorrow. The girls' last gift should arrive at Wal-Mart by Christmas Eve (bunk beds). I have no wrapping done at all.

[maryinaz]

I'm done shopping, haven't started wrapping, but I'll start tonight. I still have a few cookies to bake since we've just about eaten everything I've made so far.

DH and I are going to the mall tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it! We like the hustle and bustle and haven't bought anything for each other, so we'll pick out some stuff together, do lunch, get stocking stuffers, etc. I'm lucky - my DH doesn't mind shopping so we've done almost all of it together this year.

[MamaBee]

So not ready... gifts purchased... but not all wrapped (only got the ones wrapped for my dad who came today... I have crafts that still need to be done... menu planning and baking still need to be done... haven't done the gingerbread house yet... I'm starting to freak out!!!

[Julie Billingsley]

I have all the gifts and 98% of them are wrapped. I have to make some cookies and banana bread tonight. I have to run and get some fun candy for the stockings. I have to head to the grocery store tomorrow to grab some veggies for the veggie platter, but otherwise I'm ready!

[KateD]

I'm done... yay! Yesterday was the boys' last full day of school, so I took advantage of that to get the wrapping done. I guess I have to pick up a couple of things at the grocery store to make dessert. Still, I consider myself done.

[ryliesmom]

I still have a little house straightening to do and baking before the in-laws arrive tomorrow afternoon. DH finished our last minute shopping this evening and everything is wrapped.

[NeverendingJen]

all that is left is the cleaning, and most of that will be done friday evening so that everything looks nice all weekend

[nun69]

I don't really bake anything cause a bunch of my friend's brought goodies to my DH at work so other than doing some last minute grocery shopping and picking up a Five Guys gift card, I am done I finished all of my wrapping last weekend and it felt so good to have all that done I am putting together these for my husbands family memebers with a couple of GC's, but I am waiting to buy the cones so they will be fresh

[pewtertm]

Gifts are all bought and wrapped. We have to go to the grocery store either tomorrow or Christmas Eve...not particularly looking forward to that trip!

going grocery shopping for christmas dinner still. My husband and I had to buy a new stove because of my stove kinda blowing a pipe and flames shooting out of it on thanksgiving. We have looked and could not find one we liked in our price range available immediately and finally found one just a little more then we wanted to spend but not much and had everything I wanted so now I am waiting for him to hook it up. So hoping to get what little baking I had planned done before this weekend. Gift shopping is all done for me for the most part. My husband said he wants to go out and get something else for me but I have no idea what so Ill probably let him go since that will be tomorrow or the 24th. Knowing him it will be the 24th.

[kscwgirl]

All the gifts are bought/here. Everything is wrapped but 4 things, which I'll most likely do tonight. I do still have to go to Walmart tomorrow to get groceries, not really very thrilled about that prospect. Other than that, though, yes, I'm ready!!

[Paula]

I'm finished with the shopping and the wrapping. I'm going to do the baking on Saturday.

[emmasmommy]

i AM!
first time ever, that i've been done so early!
we're going to my mom's to bake tomorrow but that's more for fun than for the actual baking part lol

[mrshobbes]

Just need to finish wrapping and I'm done. I'm considering making a dessert to take for when we head over to my folks' on Christmas Eve, but we'll see I've been rushing a deadline this week (it's TODAY! GAH!) so that's been my focus.

[Jennilyn]

I've been ready for a few weeks now. I don't do any cooking or baking though.

[gypsystar]

Almost, wrapping is done as long as we don't add any last minute gifts. We need to bake Santa's Cookies and that will likely happen tomorrow, I think. I'm not doing any other baking projects. Santa's cookies are plenty !

[Megan Turnidge]

Presents are all bought and completely wrapped. Santa is finishing up putting together Allie's bike tonight. I need to do some cleaning and try (a second batch) of sugar cookies, and pick up 3 things at the grocery store tomorrow. Then I'll be ready!

[Milmomma]

I still have to wrap presents and bake the santa cookies, but we've done everything else.

[Shawna]

All the presents have been bought for awhile now, but still need to be wrapped which I plan on doing tomorrow. All the gifts are hidden at my Mom's house so I'm going over there to have a marathon wrapping session with my Mom since my DH will be home on winter break starting tomorrow so he can keep the kids! I do need to look through the stocking stuffers though and make sure I have enough, I do need to pick up some candy to put in them so I'll probably do that tomorrow also. I did the grocery shopping for the weekend tonight, also got our cookie dough to bake on Christmas Eve along with cinnamon rolls and orange juice for Christmas morning.

[LeeAndra]

I need to go to the grocery store tomorrow and to B&N to buy a couple of books for the kids. Neither of them is in/by a mall, so that should be okay although we live close enough to the mall that it can take 3x as long to make it from the interstate to our house.

Nothing is wrapped yet, but DH and I are not exchanging gifts and we won't have SS until the 28th, so there are just a few things to wrap for DD. We're having homemade pizza Saturday night and breakfast casserole & Jesus birthday cake Sunday morning, but that's all the cooking and baking that's left.

It really doesn't bother me. DH is the one who freaks out around/in crowds, so I'm sure he'll stay close to home all weekend.

These are cute Angie...

[FireWolf]

I have two gifts to wrap for my goddaughter and I need to make some oreo truffles and chocolate caramel coins today. Have to go pick up our meat order tonight when DH gets home. DH and I both got our gifts in November, there is a no gift rule this year at my inlaw's so those two gifts for Naomi are it this year and we've had those since our trip to the UK last month.

[Gemma]

Nearly finished shopping, I need to pop out for a few things soon, then all that's done!!

I haven't even started wrapping yet, Jack is going to his nanas tonight so I'll wait until Harry is in bed and do most of it then!!

I go out for Christmas dinner so I don't need to stress about that, I go to my nanas on the 26th and she wants some cupcakes so I'll do them on the 26th morning before I go

[SweetMelissa]

I'm all wrapped and ready to go!
