This is the only place I know I can come and be smug. Made dh take morning off and we wrapped all the stocking gifts and most the main gifts (still got a few to buy). Three kids and two of them have Nov/Dec bdays. Everything now wrapped and hidden away and listed on the spreadsheet. Am so pleased it's not hanging over me any more.

I started but got backache as i wrap on the floor. I find table too difficult!.. Dont ask!

But have got it all except, a tablet as waiting for black Friday
2 orders to arrive and something for 17 year old, if not he'll get cash.

Also got all food except pates cheeses etc ( not home for xmas or boxing day so no big food things to buy)

Wait...there are people who wrap at a table? And not on the floor as God intended?

I did it last Tuesday and the last few stragglers this Tuesday. Now I have nothing to worry about and it’s all done 🙃

Amazing. I always swap presents about a bit - add the bargain chocolate or give a gift to a different friend then intended. No way could I wrap until a few days before I was dishing them out.

@dormouses well most of the gifts are things I know they will like for stocking fillers or extra tree gifts. They wrote their list for Santa in November. But two have December birthdays so they can always get things for that instead. And Santa is a planner so doesn’t take last minute requests… imagine if every child did that!

What do you all do if DC ask Santa/write a list/change their mind nearer the big day? My DC haven't even thought about what they might want yet. Or do you buy what you think they might like? How do you stop yourself twitching for the next 6 weeks?!

My DC are 1 and 2 so doubt they'll be asking for anything before the big day. So I buy them what I know they love now and what I think they'll like.
