Its 20 days until Christmas and I am soooooooo behind on my shopping! I still have 6 people to buy for and stocking fillers for the kids!!!!
I am having a party on the 19th for family and unlike other years we now have my in laws coming down....so I have to get all the shopping in on the day before to make/cook etc....plus shopping for our own food ! Arrgghhh. Still its the best time of the year and its worth the hassle:):tree:

So you have 14 days before the party to get 6 gifts & stocking stuffers....I couldn't do this, but maybe you could get 1 gift per day, then stocking stuffers. That is 7 of the 14 days. You have 7 days left to get the grocery shopping and house cleaning done!!

I still have quite a bit to do too. I agree with you though, it's still the best time of the year!

I thought I started earlier this year, but I still feel rushed...just want to relax and watch Christmas movies, but alas, never enough time!

I am almost done shopping. I just have to get my mom one more thing. I look at how many cookies and candies I want to make and wonder where I am going to get the time to do it all. I had hoped to make some of them up ahead of time and freeze them but I never got around to doing that.

Argh! I know what you mean. I feel like I am so so far behind this year. But I think I say that every year, lol.
I am still unsure of what to get my husband this year! I guess I should probably figure that out pretty soon here, huh. :D

:snowball:There is always so much to do in preparing for Christmas, but I'm trying not to get overwhelmed this year. All my shopping is done, except for stocking stuffers. My house is beautifully decorated both inside and out. I wrote out my christmas cards and sent them out yesterday. I have more wrapping to do, but I enjoy that, it's the FUN part. I also have to start baking. Otherwise, i'm trying to enjoy this holiday season. last year, i was so overwhelmed because my three step sons were coming here for the holidays, and my youngest step son whom we haden't seen in two years was bringing his girlfriend. it all worked out, but boy, was I stressed. I couldn't wait for it to all be over with. I'm hoping to NEVER feel that way again.
