What have you got left to do for Christmas 2017?

[soontobemrsmckeown]

Cards wrote out and the ones that needed posting are gone. Handful of gifts left to wrap. Only 6 photo frames to buy. A parcel to pick up from Argos and then the tree to put up. Feeling quite chilled about it this year and it's my 1st as a single parent.

Absolutely every single thing.

Will start on 1st December as usual.

Cards will be written and posted on about the 10th as usual.

Christmas tree and decorations will go up on the 16th.

Will do some online shopping in the first week of December and some shopping in the shops in the second/third week, right up until the 22nd/23rd.

Presents will get wrapped along the way.

Food shopping will be added to my regular online orders for the next few weeks and then I'll go to the shops on the 23rd and 24th to get whatever else we need.

Easy.

Presents All bought AND wrapped xmas cards is the job for this weekend. Tree up next weekend. We're away in the middle of December- coming back on the 23rd so to be fair I'm losing some key preparation time!!

Everything....

I still need to buy dh’s present, some bits for dd (leggings, body shop smellies, stocking fillers), sdd’s stocking fillers, then presents for my parents and gift card for dsis. Dh and I are having a date night out to lakeside the week before Xmas so will do the shopping then.
Still have cards to write, and buy and decorate the tree but that will be done the week before Christmas as well. So far I’m feeling pretty organised.
We have 5 dc and both work full time so I feel like this is pretty good

Four lots of presents to wrap, cards to write, that's it.

everything because it's only november the 24th

why have you posted christmas cards already?

Ha ha ha ha ha

Not decorated yet.

Not done cards yet (about 10 to close family and friends abroad).

Couple of presents to get.

No wrapping done - doesn't take long, i have fabric bags and swathes of material with Christmas print, same ones that i use every year, close them with ribbon. Super pretty.

We don't have traditional Christmas lunch, so haven't thought about food yet.

I am extremely chilled, as i am every year.

If i dont post them now I'll never post them. Just sat with 5 year old dd and she's wrote out over 40 cards this evening. And her party invites for January. Think the tree may be going up next weekend. It would normally be going up this evening but enjoying a glass of wine instead tonight.

Kudos to a 5 year old who can wrote out 40 cards.

I hope you are very happy with everything op.

Made my cards but not written yet, made some decorations, started a 'thinking list' of some ideas for activities with the dc and food for the day, booked tickets to see Santa.

Decorations going up on Sunday, I just feel like starting early this year. No presents bought except a few bought over the year for ds2. Ideas formulating for tricky relatives. I feel about as prepared as I normally do in November so I'm not worried yet. Dh has the day off next Friday to go and do the bulk of the shopping. All good!

Everything!

Everything. Still 4 birthdays between now and Christmas.

Write a few cards. Just 3 for immediate family plus some friends. DH is responsible for his family.

Then food shopping, booked for delivery on Dec 21st, collect a couple of bits they don’t deliver.

1 more present to buy, stepSIL, because DH will mess that one up. He got stepson’s today.

Wrap/box presents. Need to buy a gift box and bow for DD2’s present, which I collected today from the post office.

I think that’s all, other than cooking and eating

Everything to do here too.
I also have both DDs, Mum, sister and niece’s birthdays between now and Xmas. Haven’t bought anything for those either yet.

I do have a list though

Ooh, forgot, next weekend we’re going to a Christmas market 🎄 🍷

Everything. And between work and other commitments I have precisely 2 evenings and one full day between now and Christmas to organise it

So much more than I intended on having to do by this point....

I was desperate to have everything done in time for baby to arrive, now I’ve reached due date and realised I’ve still got most relatives gifts to buy, all to wrap, all cards to write, and that’s just the basics! I have luckily made and iced the Christmas cake...!

Everything. It's still November.

Everything left to do. I have bought one present, and I have bought some food for nibbles, but thats it. Oh, and decided what meats I am cooking (pork shoulder, slow cooked and a turkey crown, if you are interested )

Im usually on the ball with Christmas but bloodyhell its going pear shaped this year. No cards written, no present wrapped, need to buy few more gifts. Turkey crown to buy.

Im starting a new job a week before Christmas and payday just before Christmas will be pants😂😂😂

But I have lots of gin😜

Cards to be wrote and posted
Wrapping
Food shopping
Decorating for Christmas. This usually takes the Saturday and Sunday to do and we do it first weekend in December.

Not much now, actually.

I need to collect DH's present and wrap it, book my 23.12 Sainsbury's delivery and do the two trees. Oh, and write a couple more cards. Not much really!

Need to write cards
Buy advent calendars! DS has had me searching high and low for a bloody Minecraft one which doesn't seem to exist!
Food shop
Buy Christmas outfit for my eldest x

Bloody everything! I've ordered a couple of presents for DS but that's it!

I am working until 22nd and work is madness at the moment so no chance to do anything.

Pretty much something on every weekend as well so for knows how I'll get prepared.

I'm hosting Xmas day too
