Sign in here if you have done bugger all about Christmas yet

[Prunie]

I have done NOTHING!
Not by design, just been busy.
I need a spreadsheet.....

ME!

I have done sod all and I just don't feel motivated about it this year

LL's your girl for spreadsheets

I'd better not mentioned my online shopping delivery for Friday 21st all booked and done!

Anseo

nothing.

am going to do a spreadsheet too .

Anseo??

Oh good am glad I am not alone.
We have birthdays galore in Nov and Dec so it seems weird to be doing Christmas as well. Also, what are people doing that they start in September?? I genuinely can't think of anything that needs doing so soon...

And then, I think...presents...decorations...dishes...booze...socialising...maybe I should have started earlier........

Me too.
And I don't care.

i have scribbled a few ideas on a grotty piece of A4 paper at work and thats about it! I'm hoping for some divine inspiration when i get a day off next week!

Course you haven't UQD.. you're a man.. DW will be doing it! (That was sexist wasn't it.. )

I haven't done enough. Nearly enough. No money.

Well, it will all get done one way or another. As yet, Christmas has not been cancelled any year that I can recall.

Me neither Shiny
We are doing simple things and not really pushing the boat out.
I don't really go for all the conspicuous consumption tbh

i've done nowt, there's still 3 weeks ago.

son still doesn't know what he wants it changes week by week. i'm very laid back about christmas it's only one day.

UQD will of course be shopping here for his DW.

Birthdays. Ho hum.

Dh is inconsiderately the 12th of December . I find it really hard to get moving with Christmas until it is out of the way.

All I've done is practice carols on the piano - DH has made some lists, and I've sweet talked the family into inviting us for all the meals over Christmas. I am putting up the church christmas tree on Saturday, which will get me galvanised.

I'm signed in. Have thought about what presents to look for... have had a chat over coffee with DH about what we could have to eat on christmas day... have remembered where in the basement we put the decorations but haven't been to dig them out... DH is excited about gong out to get a tree with DS but we haven't planned when that will happen.

My mother arrives on the 18th to spend 2 weeks with us, closely followed by my father and my MIL...

So I expect there will be panics here soon enough

I'm too depressed looking for a Wii to do anything else

We've got 10 coming to stay. I've done nothing. No plans, no food, no pressies. But my mum bought dd an advent calendar, so that's something.

I do seem to have got myself into buying ds's presents on my parents' behalf, as well. So I get a cheque and do their Christmas shopping for them - - when exactly? Hmm????

oh god Pruni my in laws request a list in November using up all my first ideas then my mum wants a emial with links in.

It is a pita.

Have bought plane tickets.

Have browsed a couple of websites for gift ideas for those abroad.

Have vaguely thought about what to get whom locally.

Have told DP he has to sort his family's presents.

Have done nothing else. Christmas is always a low key affair in our house. Not sure if it is down to accident (read disorganisation) or by design. I suspect the former.

I've bought presents.
The rest is still in the loft or in Sainsburys.

Nothing. Nada.

I have vaguely thought about what I am going to get everyone, and have had a look online in a half-hearted fashion.

I just can't get into the spirit of the thing until a lot closer to Christmas. I love this time of year, but not thinking about it and planning everything in August.

well, I had to move early in the year sept/oct to make sure I grabbed a wii and so I have also been buying other presents for the kids
but that, apart from designating a place to put received xmas cards, is all I've done.

we got our first xmas card from some of dhs family yeserday and I have to designate a spot to put them so that when I eventually get round to writing them, I can go through the pile and not miss anyone out that has sent to us lol
how sad am I?

Sorry Anseo means 'here' in Irish and what children say during role call in school. I have done very little, em except made some mincemeat but that is for pies for this weekend so doesn't really count towards the Christmas effort.
