LO doesn't even have a Halloween costume yet, so no, I'm not ready for Christmas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1903019 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 09:10:25 +0000 Adira 1903019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Already made dates to get together with all our family and I've figured out MOST of the Christmas presents I'm buying - just need to purchase them now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902979 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 08:57:49 +0000 alohaorchid 1902979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have started to make a list of what we're getting everyone, all of the other little things we have to do (shoeboxes, etc.) and we've talked about our actual plans for Christmas.</p> <p>We're moving right after Christmas so I'm starting to feel a little stressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902907 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 08:30:43 +0000 HLK208 1902907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just what we're giving the kids--definitely minimal this year...last year was out of control! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902896 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 08:22:12 +0000 photojane 1902896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We do the same Thanksgiving meal every year, so that doesn't require much planning. I have gotten Sadie's dress though!</p> <p>As far as Christmas, I've gotten all of Sadie's books for her advent, gotten her big gift from Santa, and started looking for her Christmas jammies. I've also contacted me SIL's about setting up the exchange in November, and I've started planning our annual trip to Christmastown! I'm already so excited! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902889 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 08:17:06 +0000 snowjewelz 1902889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We def are late planners... I don't start thinking about gifts till after Halloween and we don't get the tree &amp; put up decorations till after Thanksgiving. </p> <p>However everything is thrown out the window this year since I'm due early Dec... I want to decorate before Thanksgiving, and no gifts at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902881 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 08:14:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 1902881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have my lists all made out &amp; have started pricing options. It's going to be a low key holiday at our house too, but LO is still young enough to be excited about anything and not need BIG stuff yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902875 Thu, 16 Oct 2014 08:09:33 +0000 Mrs. Detour 1902875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom and I are trying new dessert recipes this weekend, which we then test on my dad. He loves this tradition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902726 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 22:38:02 +0000 jhd 1902726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have started shopping and DH has scheduled some time off. We haven't really done much else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902713 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 22:07:06 +0000 sunny 1902713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't planned anything. We will be staying in town so I think it will be low key. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902712 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 22:04:39 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1902712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Started a little but will go into high drive in November.

We're driving to see my family. :) We'll be spending a couple nights with my dad then a couple with my mom, then one in Atlanta visiting friends. </p> <p>All I know about Christmas is DH's family party is on the 20th. We'll probably exchange gifts with his family that day or the next. DH and I will be home on Christmas Day. We'll probably go to his aunt's for Christmas dinner. He volunteered to be on call the week after Christmas this year so we will be sticking close to home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902692 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 21:29:11 +0000 regberadaisy 1902692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much. Going to NYC for Thanksgiving. We're hosting Christmas dinner and probably brunch. Hopefully someone else offers to host eve.<br /> . Not sure where we're doing Santa pictures because I wasn't in love with either of the first two? Going to take DD 1 on the polar express! But have to coordinate that with BIL because he gets the girls for Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902633 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:42:39 +0000 lawbee11 1902633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! LO's gifts have been purchased. I made reservations for teddy bear tea 2 weeks before Christmas. Need to figure out when we're doing pics with Santa. My parents and brother will come over Christmas late morning and we'll have lunch here (no idea what I'll be making yet). Then my stepkids arrive the 26th and will be here through the first week in January! I love the holidays :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902630 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:39:57 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1902630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have LO'S gift planned &amp; am eyeing a few different brands/sales right now. I know that our parents/grandparents will likely receive a small family photo &amp; a homemade treat. No idea for DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902624 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:35:24 +0000 JerricaBenton 1902624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! We don't travel for the holidays so there's no planning in that respect, but I've already started menu planning, thinking about decorations and I already bought a bunch of Christmas presents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902623 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:34:03 +0000 Smurfette 1902623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! Ordered some Christmas books for R, bought my nephews gifts this week (spreading out expenses), and DH and I have talked about time off work and when we are going go see his family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-started-your-holiday-planning-yet#post-1902621 Wed, 15 Oct 2014 20:28:53 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1902621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I booked our tickets to Los Angeles yesterday where we're going to be spending the holidays with my family.</p> <p>I've also been eyeing this book that I will probably get Charlie for Christmas: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0763668966" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0763668966</a></p> <p>Plan to keep gifts very, very low key this year!</p> <p>What about you?
