Christmas is officially a week away. Have you finished your shopping? Did you send your cards out? Are you ready for all those christmas dinners? My answer is no to all! Well, actually I'm ready for the dinners. That is my favorite part about Christmas because we get to see all our family together in one place. I've still got a little shopping to do and I forgot to get Christmas cards lol. So how about all of you out there in mylot land...are you ready?

Done with shopping for the children but not for everybody else. Not doing dinner this year, hooray. Cards may or may not happen! I like the part about getting the family together too.

Yea I don't know if I'll get the cards out either. I might venture out to get some.

Well its now 5 days till Christmas at the time I'm writing this, and I think I'm kinda ready, I finally have my shopping done, as for the dinners, I'm still not sure what I'm going to cook for my part, I was thinking about a pot roast, and I'll probably make a couple pies. That's my favorite part too, I like having my family all together, we don't get to see each other that often. Thankfully, I did get all my cards sent out early, thats a first for me..haha...Merry Christmas to all!!!!

No, I am not and feeling the way I am right now, doesn't help. I have come down with the darn awful virus/flu. I don't feel like doing anything but sleeping.

I am never ready for Christmas. All the money that has to be spent and all the extra work. Christmas is pretty much a nightmare for me every year. I do have all my shopping done (I think), but now I am going to have to wrap it all which I hate. I have been doing a little wrapping here and there but I see a night in my near future where I will be wrapping all night long after the kids go to bed. I have not sent out any cards yet either, and I have not done any baking yet.

No to all as well. Today is probably our last paycheck before Christmas, so I have to finish the shopping today. I have all 4 boys to finish up and a layaway to pay off. My husband also has to do his shopping for me.
I skipped cards this year. I didn't exactly mean to, it just happened.
As for dinner, well, we'll be cooking at home, and so far all I have is the ham. I will probably buy the remaining ingredients for the dinner on Christmas day, unless we get paid a day early then I'll be shopping on Christmas eve!

I guess I am ready for Christmas. Mentally anyway. I don't have everything done though. I still have shopping to do. For all of my family. I don't know why I procrastinate every year. For some reason I always wait until the last minute to get my shopping done. Maybe in 2010 I will have my shopping done by July. Ha Ha.
