Are you done with your Christmas shopping?

[ski diva]

Are you a last minute holiday shopper, or are you one of those people who has it all wrapped up (literally) in August? Or do you fall somewhere in between?

This is the last week, ladies! Where do you stand?

DONE, except food which I can't do until Saturday. I start with a warehouse sale at Sierra Design in August and try to finish the first week of December. I hate crowds on the hill or in the Mall. Plus I have a friend that has a ski shop and he needs all the help he can find this time of year!! Also if you want to ski the weekends in December, you need to be done. Tree is up and all the presents will be out of hiding tomorrow night!! By the way Happy Chanukah to any Diva's not celebrating Christmas!!

All Done! I'm usually done by Thanksgiving, but I was running a little late this year....we finished up yesterday :o .

We met my Mom at the Traverse City mall yesterday. Let me just say:

HOLY COW!!

There was traffic backed up on the main road waiting to get into the parking lot!

Yup...done. I get Veteran's Day off and that's when I do my marathon Xmas shopping.

 

[eng_ch]

What do you mean "Done"?? Not even started.... (apart from the goose that is)

 

[Lilgeorg]

Done. I mostly shopped online since my options in VT are limited. Good news was the last gift I ordered arrived today. Wahoo. Christmas made easy.

Finally finished up shopping yesterday. Now I just need to wrap it all. I even got the Christmas Cards out this past Saturday. We are celebrating on Saturday and then it's off to Steamboat on the 24th!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to all!

Done. (Finally!) I got everything wrapped up last night, and drove it all to the Post Office this morning. Phew!

Well the good news is my chrissie pressie to DH turned up this morning so that's a big sigh of relief, and I at least now know what else I'm going to be buying on Fri pm (last opportunity). So that just leaves the perishable foodstuffs and general food shopping to last 5 days (no 24/7 shopping here). More importantly, all my year-end stuff is sorted out, the accounts are as up to date as they can be at the mo, all the bill payments are submitted so they'll get paid before the end of the year and only one job left to do and deliver in 2006!

Was up until midnight last night, trying to get all my Christmas cards done, but I ran out of stamps by the time I hit the R's in my address book. Most of my gifts are bought, but apparently there was a run on picture frames at Target, so I need to hit AC Moore to finish off a few presents. And I need to buy a few bottles of wine for my cousin and uncle. Crap. Oh, and the photos I wanted to get printed for my mom are saved on a disk that I was supposed to bring in to work with me so I could drop it off at CVS to get developed. That's sitting on my desk at home. Ay yi yi.

Batgirl lives with Clark W. Griswold!

Done here, and planning a January trip to Washington to see the grandbaby and to ski my way around the PNW!!! WHEE!

Happy Holidays, Ladies and Lurking Gents!

 

[BatGirl]

OH, sure. Gloat, why don't you?
