1. Is your tree up? Yes, but DH last night said it was looking a little bare. We may have to bust out some more "filler" ornaments before our party Saturday.

2. Are your cards mailed out? No, but I bought them. Does that count?

3. How's your Christmas shopping going? I have finished shopping for my one brother's family (have to mail it) and the family I adopted, but waiting for another payday to finish up.

4. Have you done all your Christmas baking? Not even 1 thing.

5. Is your Christmas dinner menu planned? Yes, our menu/plan is to show up at my mom's house and eat her amazing cooking. Easiest meal I ever cooked!

1. Is your tree up?Yep! Put it up a few days after Thanksgiving
2. Are your cards mailed out?Nope! I'm hoping my VP postcards come soon so I can work on them and mail them out. 
3. How's your Christmas shopping going? I guess I'm halfway. I'm trying not to think about it because it makes me anxious. 
4. Have you done all your Christmas baking?I've been thinking about baking for my parents' Christmas Eve party or maybe to give out as gifts, but I'm undecided. 
5. Is your Christmas dinner menu planned?We eat with our families so I don't have to worry about this.

1. Is your tree up? Don't have one this year.

 

2. Are your cards mailed out?

Nope! Haven't even started yet

3. How's your Christmas shopping going? 

I have one part of one of my nephews done! and one small gift for dh. I really  need to get started...

4. Have you done all your Christmas baking?

Once again, haven't even thought about this or started. I'm way behind this year. DH's deployments and renovating our basement has put me out of whack.

5. Is your Christmas dinner menu planned? I'm going to be at my sister's so luckily that's one thing off my list!

1. Is your tree up? Yep since the Saturday after thanksgiving 2. Are your cards mailed out? Haven't decided if I'm sending 3. How's your Christmas shopping going? Done except for 1 more thing for DH and 1 small thing for my brother 4. Have you done all your Christmas baking? A little last weekend but I sent what I made with DH to work so I'm starting again this weekend.  On the agenda are sugar cookies, peppermint bark, peanut brittle, fudge, buckeyes, and a couple other types of cookies but I havent decided what yet. 5. Is your Christmas dinner menu planned? We're going to Iowa to my parents for Christmas but I just planned an Italian dinner for Christmas Eve, a Mexican appetizers/dinner menu for Christmas night (for some reason that's our traditional dinner) and an appetizer menu for the family Christmas party on the 26th this morning while my internet connection was down at work for 2 hours.

1. Is your tree up?  No! We just got my dad to bring it down to our house this last weekend and now DH and I said it wasn't worth it since we are only going to be "at" our house for 4 more days! So we really wouldn't have been able to enjoy it. 2. Are your cards mailed out?  We aren't doing cards.3. How's your Christmas shopping going? Waiting for the last of them to be delivered. Don't you just love online shopping during the holidays with the free shipping offers?!?!4. Have you done all your Christmas baking? We are celebrating with my family on the 26th and I have to make a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake and a Turtle Cheesecake for it. I will probably be making those Christmas Eve or Day. I will probably help my mom with cookies and such though while I am home visiting.5. Is your Christmas dinner menu planned? My family has the same thing every year and my mom cooks it. We have no idea when DH's family is celebrating, but the not planning in advance on their part is kinda ticking me off!

How's your Christmas shopping going? All I need to get is a new pair of sunglasses for Mike and do stockings for Mike and Chazzykins 4. Have you done all your Christmas baking?

1. Is your tree up?  Not doing a tree this year.  We won't be home at all for Christmas and I don't want to give the puppy the temptation. 

2. Are your cards mailed out? Not doing those either.  I'm not really in the Christmas mood this year.  It doesn't feel like Christmas at all to me.

3. How's your Christmas shopping going? I'm about half done.

4. Have you done all your Christmas baking?  Not baking anything.

5. Is your Christmas dinner menu planned?  Not doing Christmas dinner. 

 BAH HUMBUG!

1. Is your tree up?  Up! 2. Are your cards mailed out?  Not even close. 3. How's your Christmas shopping going? I just have FIL left.  He is impossible to shop for. 4. Have you done all your Christmas baking?  That was why I was away all day yesterday!  The sugar cookies, of all things, turned out totally crap, though, so I plan to re-do those. 5. Is your Christmas dinner menu planned?  We'll not be hosting.  I'm off the hook!
