How Much Christmas Shopping Do You Really Have Done?

chonsigirl · Post by **chonsigirl** » Sun Dec 07, 2008 4:57 am

I only have the kids, and the rest of the family left to shop for. I don't know when I can do it, I have to mail it out by next weekend.

My sister-in-law called me during rehearsal to give me a lengthy list-she assumed I was out shopping......:rolleyes:

I bought 3 bottles of champagne, 2 bottles of Jack Daniels and 2 packs of Bud.

No presents as yet, it'll have to be last minute I'm afraid.

Truthfully, I have done no Christmas shopping so far. I have window-shopped and enjoyed the decorations and the music playing in the background, but that's it. This is a new experience for me. I think my family will still love me after the holidays are over, even if I can't afford to send them a gift this year.

I have the kids gifts bought, just need to finish their stocking stuffers. I just lack a few things for other people. I've got to get on the ball. I've even got to get my niece a wedding gift. She's getting married on the 20th in Dallas, and my kids are the flower girl and ring bearer.

i think i am done with my husband.. no where near done with my daughter- still have to buy for sis and bro in law & their 2 sons -Tim's Brothers family- We don't buy for anyone in Illinois because sending it cost too much- they are happy with just a card and a picture of us. =D.

All of it's done. I quit buying gifts when my snots grew up. Once in awhile I give a grandbrat something but not often. Don't wanna spoil the little terrors.

we already have everything for the kids so we're done. We don't buy gifts for anyone else unless we're going to be spending Christmas with them.

I'm well on my way, though I am not done yet. I have a clear idea of what and where to get the rest of my items, so I feel I am way ahead of the game.

My biggest hurtle will be the wrapping and mailing........... especially the mailing. :-5
