[thisiswhataluv]

whats left to do on your christmas preparation list !

i still need a few pressies for family

stocking fillers for dcs

wrapping paper/more sellotape

buy 3 advent calendars

need 3 various size gift bags

sort out clothes for dcs to wear at xmas partys

start wrapping the mountain of presents in my loft

write xmas cards out

cant think of anything else atm !

oh yes, and put my tree up last sunday in november as much as i would love to put it up now, i know its far too early

Stocking fillers for DS (thanks for the reminder)

One more biggish present to buy

Christmas cards

Wrapping.

Family photos and a brief letter to go in each card (probably can't get that done for another 2 weeks).

Presents for DH
Maybe presents for my dad & step-mum (I am not sure if they care if I send some or not)
Posting the cards out
Am not sure about DC's presents or stocking fillers, they don't make their minds up until the very last minute, anyway!

We are not entertaining so may not even bother to get a turkey.

Don't think I can face Advent calendars; DC just scoff the lot in first 3 days, anyway (that's assuming one of the pets doesn't beat them to it).

And I re-use wrapping paper from last year, so nothing to buy there (whew!)

Wrapping. And buy chocs for the reusable advent calendars.

You do know it's only 15th November don't you

and got to buy some treats in for xmas eve as we watch xmas films all day and scoff our faces with junk eat lots of treats

bellylaugh

I wrote my xmas cards during half term

Got the last presents this morning. Stocking for ds already sorted. Just wrapping to do (had run out of paper but that sorted today)
Parcels to post on 1st of December (otherwise people comment if they arrive too early - and still waiting for school photos to put in grandparent parcels anyhow).

And then the decorations to put up of course...

bellylaugh - as ds said this morning it's only 10 days and 1 month till xmas!!

Oh yes I still have work secret santa present to get. Damn people in our office refuse to do the names in the hat till December!

I do love, love, love Christmas and it's also my Birthday the week before but if would just ruin it for me if I started everything so early.

iv also got to buy for secret santa but know what im getting...

Get last bit of gift for MIL (M&S Hamper) and something for my friend.

Buy some crackers and start wrapping!

Two presents to buy, everything to wrap.

Will attempt to have everything done by 30th Nov.

noW done.

I still haven't started Xmas shopping. Not even thought about it. It's not that I'm disorganised, just don't see the point in starting early. It's fab, very relaxing. How boring it would be to have it all done already.
