What are you getting the important people in your life? Jeff is getting things he needs (new coat, new black Docker shoes, etc...). I am getting my best friend an autographed copy of my mom's cousin's book that was recently released (Diary of an Online Dating Junkie). It is SUCH a good book! I read it in a day because I seriously didn't want to put it down.
What gift are you most excited to give? I am so excited to give my oldest sister her gift. We draw names for the adults in the family, and I got her. She told me to "just surprise" her. Well, they recently moved back to Nebraska from California, so I am getting her a "California Girl's Nebraska Winter Survival Kit"...basically, I got her some cute long boots, scarf, knit hat, gloves, coffee mug (with pictures of her kids on it), homemade hot chocolate, lotion and chap stick. I think she'll love it!
What's on your Christmas list? Um, a bunch of movies, more Fiesta serving ware...Jeff did get my the Dyson Animal, so that was a HUGE check off! : )
Do you open any gifts on Christmas Eve or save them? We will open on Christmas Eve this year because that is when my family will be there. I think I might wait for Jeff and I's until Christmas Day though after everyone leaves.
What are you getting the important people in your life?
DH - A tool chest for the garage, some DVD's, a Pats hoodie
Parents- A new computer (hello walmart doorbuster!)
Brother - iHome dock for his Ipad
What gift are you most excited to give?
My parents are going to flip over their new computer, they have no idea but I think they will be super excited.
What's on your Christmas list?
I really want the Canon Rebel. It is a little expensive for Christmas so I might just see if we can budget for it after Christmas. Also on my list are an Iphone (I am currently eligible for an upgrade), Boots, and other random stuff.
Do you open any gifts on Christmas Eve or save them?
We do them all on Christmas. A lot of the time DH and I are so excited to give eachother our gifts that we end up doing them early, but this year I think we will be good.
What are you getting the important people in your life? DH is getting a Blues hoodie, an electric razor, a couple ornaments and a new Wii game

Do you open any gifts on Christmas Eve or save them? Greg and I usually open gifts on Christmas Eve afternoon before heading out to be with family. This year I'm not sure when we will do it since we are heading out Friday already. We open gifts with my family on Christmas Eve every year.
That is such a great idea! She is definitely going to love it.
What are you getting the important people in your life?
My mom - a Verizon gift card bc I think she wants an iPhone. She's due for an upgrade

I asked hubby for a 6 yoga class card. I added some little things to my amazon wishlist (now that I know it exists!!) - but nothing major.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are BOTH for presents. There is no waiting
HAHA
What are you getting the important people in your life?
Hanukkah is pretty low-key in my family, so...
DH: TBD. I'm really stumped and he's not offering any suggestions.
Mom: cash... she's broke
Sisters/BIL: we're doing an Elfster pollyanna and haven't drawn names yet, so depends on what's on my person's list. We're not exchanging gifts until January since sis #1 and her family be away on vacation the second half of December, so I have time to worry about this.
Niece: already given... took her to see How to Succeed in Business
14 YO nephew: cash (what else do you give a teenage boy?)
9 YO nephew: TBD, I'm waiting for my sister to provide a wish list for him since it's his bday next week also.
What gift are you most excited to give? I was most excited to take my niece to the show, and that's already done!
What's on your Christmas list? Earrings, gift cards to Motherhood, hats/gloves.
Do you open any gifts on Christmas Eve or save them? We kind of open gifts whenever... DH already gave me my gift (earrings) since I picked them out. Once I buy his, I'll probably just give it to him. We are doing Hanukkah stockings this year and plan to do those on 12/20 (the first night of Hanukkah). Family gifts will be in January.
What are you getting the important people in your life? Electric shaving set, U of M camping chair, a couple of Beatles story DVDs, GC for a massage, belt from Express Men for DH (and a new journal & some beatles magnets for hm from SD) - GC for massage, tons of clothes & a book (that she picked out), some BBW and VS stuff & some jewelry & hair accessories for SD - GC for facial, some TS stuff, perfume & slippers for mom - MW3 on PS3 for BIL and some cute girly stuff for sister - Henri Bendel & Urban Decay stuff for cousins.
What gift are you most excited to give? All of them!
What's on your Christmas list? Nirvana Nevermind & PitBull Planet Pit CDs; GCs for my favorite Aveda Spa, Ulta, Barnes & Noble, BB&B and running shoes, perfume from VS and Macy's, new Dirt Devil hand held vacuum.
Do you open any gifts on Christmas Eve or save them? Sometimes DH & I will do gifts with SD on Christmas Eve, depending on what night we have her. We alternate with her mom.
What are you getting the important people in your life? DH: a beer making kit (he wants to start brewing his own), Phillies stuff, the Steve Jobs book, stocking stuffers
My parents: Digital camera...theirs sucks and is like 10 years old, they are going to Aruba in the spring, so I figured it was a good gift!
MIL: A scentsy warmer w/wax bars, a scarf and earrings
FIL: I have no clue
What gift are you most excited to give? The camera to my parents!
What's on your Christmas list? New slippers, Vera Bradley stuff, Pandora beads, gift cards...nothing overly exciting this year!
Do you open any gifts on Christmas Eve or save them? No, I always try and get DH to let us open one gift each on x-mas eve, but he never lets me!
