How is everyone's Christmas prep looking one month out?

I've almost finished present shopping, just a couple of bits for DH and one nephew that we're still trying to find something for. No wrapping yet though, that's a December job!

New decorations for the tree have been bought. Tree will go up in 2 weeks time.

Cards bought, I'm off work this week so will get them written then they go in the post at the start of December.

Need to arrange seeing mine and DH's siblings at some point in the next few weeks as we still do gifts for the kids and prefer to exchange them in person following the great missing parcel drama of 2015!

No set plans for food but expect that we'll have roast chicken instead of turkey as we usually do.

Haven't even started to think about New Year yet! Usually end up staying home or spending a fairly quiet night with a few good friends.

I have amazed myself with my organisation this year! I'm away with work until mid Dec so I've had to be.

Turkey ordered
Christmas food shop on order for 22nd
Presents bought
Dh is putting up the tree for me before I get home.
Meal plan done for the days leading up to Christmas (guests arriving on the 21st)

All I need to do when I'm home is

Mince pies
Our version of Christmas pudding (ice cream version)
Put garland lights and stockings on the stairs
Wrap presents.

I'm sure I've forgotten something it feels odd to be so together! I have a note book with lists in categories so I know where I am. I have no idea who I am!

I've got my mum booked to babysit on the 6th and I'm going in with my list to get all the presents!
Tree & decorations are going up this coming weekend.
Wrote out my family cards on Friday ready to be posted next Monday.
We're not hosting this year but I'm doing the cheeseboard and crackers so will buy that nearer the time.
Watched the Christmas Chronicles yesterday and many more Christmas films will follow!!!!
