My Christmas To-Do List

It’s mid-December and Christmas is just a few weeks away. I feel like I still have quite a bit to do before the big day. I used to make little to-do lists on another website, so I think I’ll do that right now.
- I have two more Christmas cards to send out. We decided to exchange cards after I sent out my original batch. I have them signed, sealed and addressed, just gotta wait until my sister is ready to mail hers, and I’ll send them out with her batch.
- I need to finish shopping for my little niece and my teenage nephew.
- I need to start shopping for the rest of my family, my best friend and her son. Thank God my family uses Amazon Prime (free two-day shipping); I can order gifts up until Dec. 22nd (yes, I checked on Amazon to see the cut-off dates). I’m splitting my Christmas shopping up between paydays.
- I need to actually wrap my gifts; and I’ll get them under the tree sometime on Christmas Eve.
I have a lot to do in the next few weeks, but I’ll get it all done just in time! :) I hope you’re all having a good Christmas season so far! :)

I hope you were able to get it sent! I should be sending those last two cards tomorrow or Tuesday; that's cutting it close to Christmas. :-/
Thanks! I'll get it done for sure, I only have four more main gifts to get (and three of them will be online) and then a few stocking stuffers. I can spend Christmas Eve wrapping the rest of my presents.

@just4him Awesome! :) I'm getting mine out Tuesday or Wednesday, should be tomorrow. If not tomorrow, I have to take a walk to the post office on Wednesday. I'm waiting to send it out with my sister's stuff.
I love doing stocking stuffers, even if I can't always put them in the stockings lol. I usually go to The Dollar Tree, Five Below, Target, Walmart or Kmart for 'em.

I keep thinking I don't have much left to do but realize when I haven't decorated or put up a tree yet there is still quite a bit to do. The girls and hubby will do the hard work but I will have to put out a few things. And then there is preparing for the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals. I was hoping to have left overs on Christmas Day but I have the feeling that may not be possible. We better be prepared for that. A few more stocking suffers for my older daughter (especially since it doesn't look like one will arrive in time), and something for my mom. And then there's all the wrapping. Actually, not a lot of wrapping as I only have like 3 gifts per person.... in this house, then the boyfriends, and my mom, and the two Boxing Day gifts. Ugh. My list keeps getting longer. I thought I was ahead of the game.

I only give two gifts. My best-friend and my fiance. My best-friend is hopefully coming by this weekend to get her gift. My mother is coming to visit this weekend too. And then Chris is coming around the 23rd and then we are going on the secret trip. So my weekend and next week is pretty busy for me.

@Plethos LOL, I mean if you go with a gift card or money, at least you thought about getting them something at all. Some people prefer gift cards/money lol. But just ask them for ideas or what they're into, that's what I always do lol.
