All you organised people will be saying "Nothing. The presents are bought and wrapped. The food is on order"
But for mortals .....
I will rule out doing anything on days I'm at work because I'm useless after work. Get home, feed people, tidy up. That's it.
But still outstanding....
Haircut (desperately needs done)
Then hair dye (at home. I cannot be doing with paying £££ )
Costco shop to buy drinks, beer, washing powder, binbags, a huge tinned Panatonne 
Last minute IKEA trip (mid week. It's Hell at weekends)
Taking DD out Saturday (cinema /shopping with one of her friends). I can wander about.
Cashing up the £2 jar (Family tradition)
Taking the DC and DH out on Sunday (maybe my DS will buy me a present 
)
Big Sainsburys shop (DS/DD will see that Harry Hill film)
London on the 21st
Make marzipan and decorate cake
Make chocolate crispy wreath and chocolate house (mine won't eat gingerbread )
Wrap all the presents (might do this on Fri 13th if I can be trusted with scissors)
Put up the rest of the decorations (got the tree up)
DD has something on at school in the last week (Dance)
Last minute run round Waitrose - just because it's there
A Twitch Trip to M&S and Lakeland possibly on the 19th after work (my last work day before Christmas. Late night isn't too busy)
I thought I was organised but this seems like a mammoth task .

Make eleventy thousand door wreaths and garlands.
Clothe eleventy thousand women in last minute quest for Christmas party gear.
Prepare own house. In entirety.
Boggle at organised bastards that have already nabbed all the Sainsbo delivery slots. HAVE YOU NO LIFE 
Sob uncontrollably at DS nativity.
Hope that tooth isn t really aching as much as I'm ignoring it.
Attend 7 Christmas do's because I feel it necessary to spread myself as thin as possible whilst holding down a full time job and family.
Have flu jab.
Luckily I don't have to make eleventy thousand
Oh no - get dc to write cards too - do preschoolers give them - I can't remember 
Oh my god I have LOADS to do :(
I have 2 of my DCS birthdays this month on the 17th and 30th aswell as Christmas.
I have birthday and Christmas presents to wrap (still need to buy some too)
2 x birthday cakes, balloons, banners, party food (having small family get togethers)
2 x hospital appointments that are miles away.
Nativity play
School discos
Christmas food and alcohol shopping ( whole family is coming to mine for Xmas)
The boys need haircuts
Clean the house from top to bottom
Sort out sleeping arrangements for 3 relatives that want to stay over on Xmas day
Xmas presents to buy for brother, sister, dad and everyone else in my family plus their partners and kids
Aswell as a load of other stuff I've probably forgotten about
I have no idea where to start a rum and coke seems like a good place though
Nomoreminibreaks - congrats in the baby ?? fingers crossed he/she arrived on a day where you're not busy
It would be fun for your waters to go as you're eating Xmas dinner though. DS2 was due in Boxing Day and I had everyone jumping up on Xmas day everytime I made a sound
Oh shit I need to buy for the kids teachers too and get them to write their Xmas cards out.
I can see me adding to my list for the next week and still forget something

My mum would never give me that advice, she wont even drink my tea. This is great though, I think its my duty now to make sure I learn from your mistake and make sure my wreath is deliberately wonky
