With only a few days until Christmas, is all your shopping, wrapping and decorating done? (Edited 12/21/09 12:56PM by JemJenn)
Okay folks, the big HO HO HO day is only a few days away.  Are you all done your shopping? What about your wrapping?  Decorating? Baking?

Or are you not a fan of the commercialism of Christmas and prefer to celebrate in a different way?  Tell us how close you are to being ready!

Oh, and Merry Christmas!!!

Shopping is done except picking up one gift card.  I did most of it online, but also picked up a few things here and there in the stores.
Decorating is done.  Should be considering I started it in early November. 
Wrapping is done.  I'm not awful at it, not the best ... but hey, they look presentable!  And when in doubt, I have a stock-pile of Christmas bags to put stuff in. 
Baking will be done this Sunday in my annual Christmas Cookie Extravaganza (yeah Stoney, what?! ... let the bake-off begin!  )

I'm one of the best last-minute shoppers out there. I can handle my fair share of crazy-ass moms in the place, but now I only really shop for adults, it's not as crazy as it used to be trying to get my sister or cousins something.

And I'm usually really cheap when it comes to grandparents/parents now because they always seem to be fine with what they have now, so still acting like a good little boy, and helping them out with anything is good enough for them on the holidays. And it's fine for me because I don't have money to spend either.

I plan on starting my shopping on Monday. LOL I like to wait till I am out on winter break.

As for baking, I make my usual Golden Grahams treats, but this year because of an overwhelming amount of frozen cookie dough I have purchased from different kids this year....I am cheating and baking these.

I haven't done anything. Zip, zilch, nada. I'll probably wait until the 23rd before I think about doing anything

Decorating is always done early and usually in one weekend, so it's been done since the end of November. 
Most the shopping is done and would be all done if I didn't have the delay in shopping thanks to the pay bonus mess this year.  Almost all the wrapping of the gifts I have already is done.
If I bake anything I do it on Christmas Eve... not sure I'll bake this year yet, so could be done.
Fire is ready to light on Winter Solstice night, so that's done.
Still have to figure out where and when Christmas will be with all the different members of family and if I'll be cooking a meal this year or not.

I baked Russian Tea Cakes, Peanut Butter Fudge, Pumpkin Cookies, Peanut Butter Blossoms, Peanut Butter Cookies, Hershey Peanut Butter Bars, Pumpkin Rolls, Dream Bars, Chocolate Covered Pretzels, Brownies, Buckeye Balls, and Pineapple Upside Down Cakes, these will be my gifts as well as my dishes for three days of our families getting together to celebrate the birth of Jesus! 
Husband went shopping, for the small gifts for the baby the rest of the kids and grandchildren got checks.
Merry Christmas to all may your holidays be blessed.

WHEW!!!! today was a li'l insane, but all the wrapping except Christmas stockings are done, baking is done and delivered, now three more days of work and nothing but celebrations.  Christmas Eve service at the church, and attempts to get the kids to bed at a decent hour, and we will enjoy.

Merry Christmas to all!!

Lines, Lines, Everywhere, Lines..............

LOL..I have FINALLY found a little Christmas spirit that didn't come from a bottle. Guess when it actually hits the 30's here, it makes it seem a little more Christmasy.

In case I don't see any of you before,
May each and everyone of you, and those you hold dear, have an amazing Christmas, and nothing but the best in the New Year!
