For those celebrating Christmas, the crunch is on!
What do you have left to do on your list?
Since I haven't even gotten to the point of making a list...I think I'm behind.
What events do need to assist with or participate in?
Who else spends the holidays running around like a lunatic? Do you love it?

I did not mean to make that sound exclusive (the opposite in fact). I want to know what those who do not celebrate xmas are up to as well!

I have all the shopping for my kids left to do and I have no idea what to get them.

I made a pretty good haul tonight. I LOVE being able to go shopping after the kids go to bed and having the stores open until midnight! For the night owl who loves to shop....heaven! The kids are now done, with the exception of maybe a few more little things for stocking stuffers. I have to get my dad a couple shirts still and a couple more things for my sister. Other than that...I'm done! Oh, and I still have to make some wine glass charms for a gift exchange. I have this feeling that I'm going to forget!

Event wise, we've got a kid's thing on Wednesday, my family coming into town on Friday, celebrating my birthday somewhere in there with the fam while they are here, cooking my big Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve, then off to the IL's house on Christmas Day. Crazy, I tell you!

I love the chaos of Christmas. This is how weird I am...I actually really miss working in retail this time of year! It was SO fun working in a kids store during Christmas!

-a couple gifts to wrap that DH has somewhere for his family, plus one gift for DH that is still in my trunk
-need to buy a gift card for SIL and one for my dad's family's exchange
-DH's family is coming over xmas eve for homemade pizza so I need to buy a few ingredients for that


for the most part, I'm ready. I put off buying gift cards since I can get them anytime.

I have to get a few supply type things. Like I ran out of ribbons and bows, so I have to pick those up and pretty up the presents I wrapped. We have to print out some pics for MIL for frames that she gave us to fill. Oh I dunno...

As for events... Kaily is in the Nutcracker this week. There are two performances... one Wednesday and on Thursday. Because there are two shows that means two dress rehearsals. I'm the genius that volunteered to be a Party Parent in the party scene, so I actually have to be on stage for all of this when I'm due like a week later. I'm friggin tired! Not to mention I have to get Kaily ready for all of this with make up and ballet buns. But once I' done Thursday I fully expect to have a baby soon after! If I don't I'll be mad. LOL

Only some baking, which isn't strictly necessary, but a fun "extra" I thought would be nice to do this week. Other than that I'm done, just waiting.

[MOI's Mommy]

way to much to be on JM but anyways....

At home I have wrapping of all gifts to do still. I got all our kids presents done last weekend in a late night shopping trip. The rest of the family will be very last minute yikes!. No baking is done and we never did get the lights up outside. It's probably too late now

I have one more day of school left and lots to do there but off for two weeks and then will be able to think and really take stock of what still needs to be done at home. I seriously need to clean our house and sweep needles off the floor. Remind me next year I'm not a huge fan of the real tree mess.

[survey77777]

I love a real tree and was sad to give in to a new fake tree last year. Now that it's up...and prelit...hmmm...not so bad after all! I swear I still find the occasional needle 2 years later.

I still have a couple things to wrap and still need to get to the grocery store for a few things. I'm thinking late night after Juliet goes to bed will be a better time for the grocery store than this afternoon/evening or anytime tomorrow?

[lunarmagic]

I just realized I need to go to the grocery store today. Bah.
