Who's ready for Christmas...

MyUserName1

And who's not even close?

I'm pretty close to ready...but usually I'm waaaaay more prepared.

I still have to finish crocheting the sweater for my mom's Yorkie, I have gifts I ordered online that are on their way still and I still have to mail things to oot people. I'm pretty anxious that Darth FI's main gift won't arrive before Christmas (even though they guaranteed delivery)

I'd like to get most everything finished by the end of the day!

I have all my gifts bought except one.  I was crocheting a blanket for my friend's baby, but it's not going to be done in time, but it's a baby, so being late's not too big of a deal.

I'm singing on Christmas morning and I have most of my music learned.  The rest will have to be winged.

I was so ready for Christmas, and now I'm bummed.  My grandmother and grandfather were supposed to come up and visit from Florida, but last night my grandmother picked a fight with my dad and hung up declaring that she wouldn't be coming for Christmas.  Which means that my grandfather won't come either, because the last time she did this (she pulls this kind of thing almost every Christmas), and he came without her, she was furious with him. 

It'll be okay.  We'll still have a ton of family and H will (hopefully) be off on Christmas Day.  It just sucks coming up so close to Christmas.  I'm THISCLOSE to finishing shopping.

I'm ready! I just got back from the mall with FI's gifts. Everything else has been taken care of already.

I'm just ready for Xmas break.  My students are getting SO SQUIRRELY!  Oh man.
But yes, I love Christmas.  I want snow though   We don't have any yet which is incredible.

Everything is done for me except gifts for FI (woops).  I'm planning on doing some tax free shopping on the 24th.  I wont see him until the 26th so it will hopefully all work out!

I was frantically ordering things off of Amazon with 2-Day Prime shipping this morning if that tells you anything.

I've been incredibly proactive with the wedding planning, but I procrastinate in just about every other part of my life -- Christmas shopping is certainly no exception.

I'm more or less done.  I might try to crochet a hat for my nephew, if I have time and feel bored this week.  And I'm making cookies, but that'll be closer to the day.

I officially finished Hs handmade present last night, but I got all my shopping done last week. I am usually out on Christmas Eve so I am so proud of myself and don't know what to do. I feel like I must be forgetting someone. Here is Hs present!


Yep, Ron muthafuckin Swanson cross stitch.

Bay, I'm so sorry your grandma's being difficult  I hope they work it out and she changes her mind!

Froggie- I could never "wing" singing...I get SUCH stage fright singing!

Burnt- Pack the cookies in your suitcase and just keep out a couple for FI?

I am almost there! I wrapped a bazillion gifts Saturday and just need to buy a few more clothing boxes. I also have mine and H's stocking stuffers to buy. The only big thing left is my mom's gift. I didn't get H anything awesome and I feel bad, but he honestly couldn't think of anything he wanted. Pill.

You're making me feel guilty for abandoning my idea of knitting dog toys for my dog to give to all of my families dogs ;) Maybe next year.

Shannyn- you're my new hero.  That is amazing.

I'm ready and can't wait for the weekend!

I found out last night that H is waiting on my last gift to arrive in the mail. Apparently he asked his dad to buy it and ship it down and he'd send him a check, so it's something from up north that he couldn't buy online. I honestly have no clue what it is. It's exciting, because H never surprises me gift-wise, he just buys off the list.

I just hope it comes in on time.

i am finally ready! Just got to one last stocking stuffer for FI, a gift card to home depot and then I will be done. Thankfully the mall opens early this week, so I went before work and just made myself get it done. FI has no suprises, but oh well next year will be better!

Also, for those of you like me who want snow on Christmas - this is our driest winter in 127 years. I want snow SO BAD.

Beanie, could you order one online and then just wrap up a picture of it for him?

Thanks Edie and UserName -- I don't think she'll change her mind.  She has anxiety disorder, like mine, only hers is way, WAY worse and untreated.  She does this every time she says she's going to come -- works herself into a frenzy a few days before and decides to not come.  I love her, but she is my biggest inspiration to keep seeing a counselor and keep on medication, because I'm scared of becoming like that when I get older.

I'm so excited about H's present.  He has no idea what I got him, and it should arrive (at my parents' house, so he doesn't see the box) any day now.

I'm ready. I actually can't believe I'm ready. I usually do a lot of last minute shopping but I'm done. Presents wrapped and everything. 

I might get something extra for my sister if I find the time.

We have a few things left to buy. But all the homemade presents are done! Friday I will have to so all the dreaded wrapping since we are going to the ILs for the Jets Giants game at 1:00 Christmas Eve.
