Who is or isn't done their Christmas shopping?
I'm pretty much done, just need to get a couple gc's and small things. Hopefully can finish up this Friday when I'm off.
I ended up with a $5 coupon off anything from Sears b/c I had to wait so long for DH's gifts, so much for free store pickup, it took me 30 minutes to get it the stuff! I guess I'll go find him something small to add.
The thing that bugging me the most is DH was a big jerk on Thanksgiving so I couldn't get my mom to do our photo for our christmas cards. So now I have to hope we can do it this weekend with a makeshift tripod and the self timer, ugh.

I'm about 80% done with shopping. A few gifts left, plus I need a bit more stocking stuffers for DH. We do some exchanging on the 10th with some friends, and anything for our Christmas morning I'm mailing to Florida, probably on the 15th, so, time's-a-wasting...
I haven't wrapped a lick, though. That's the albatross hanging over me at this point. Maybe tonight? (She says, for the 5th night in a row...)

my read shelf:
Oh yes, I did finish my nestie gift. Need to pack that and get it in the mail.
I also looked online and the one other thing I wanted to get DH is in store only, boo! I want things delivered to my door, lol!

Me too. That's about the only way I'm shopping this year.
Ugh, I don't even want to think about it.
I've got my mom done, I just need to get one more thing.
Campbell is done. Should probably get him some stocking stuffers though (although now that I type it - what will he care?).
My Elftsters are done (although I'd like to get one more little thing but I don't know what).
I know what to get my dad but I don't feel like paying for it yet.
I don't know what to get the 6 nieces and nephews. I don't know what to get MIL or FIL and SMIL or NICK!!!
And wrapping it all stresses me out b/c the wrapping paper is stuffed in a closet and that whole room is just crammed with stuff.
Hells to the yeah. I got everything online last year and plan to do the same this year (have so far).
We just have to get presents for BIL, SIL and nephew. So giftcard, and a gift for nephew. And I'll be pissed, and act bitchy, if they don't get a present for Felicity. If we get a family gift card I might backhand them.
I'm a breastfeeding, baby wearing, cloth diapering, co-sleeping, anti-CIO Mommy
Raising Bean

Married my hero on 10-11-08
Our bean was born on 05-19-11
Why is it that the IL's can bring us the bitches in us? I have to shell out $50 cash each to BIL's 5 kids and yet we'll never get the same back. When we have a kid I should send an amazon registry with $200+ gifts and say "we just wanted to equal things out for the next 18 years."
Ugh! I was talking about the money with coworkers this morning and they're like if my kids aunt and uncle gave them money then they sure as hell would get a thank you card and probably a note with what they bought with it. <sigh> Makes me want to give the money to them instead.

Holy cannoli - I spend $15 each on Nick's neices and nephews - there's 6 now (ages 4 years to 2 months). Granted, that's a gift and not actual cash.
I would love love love to do gifts, but they will never tell us what to get them. Then I casually brought it up at FIL's birthday lunch and SIL was like "oh we're not even shopping for them this year, just giving them money." FML.
At least last year we got to use the cruise as a way to buy them an excursion, but I hate hate hate it and every year I dread it and then it ends up as a fight and etc etc.
