If you celebrate Christmas, are you done your shopping? I thought I was done but I think I need to pick up a few more things and send out 1 present!

We're done shopping as of last week! It's making sure some of the presents we ordered at the beginning of the month get delivered in time! I had to re-route one to the recipient this morning because the new estimated delivery date is CHRISTMAS EVE!!!! REALLY?!?!?!?!??!?! That cost me $5 to re-route it. Stupid stupid stupid. We're traveling out of town that day so I've asked the parents to wrap it for us. Sigh. Again, stupid stupid stupid.

Yes yes yes!! I finished shopping a few weeks ago, and our last parcels arrived and were wrapped this week. Feels sooooo good!

I just have to buy a frame for a photo for my mom. Otherwise, I'm done. Now to start wrapping, sigh.

I could be, but I keep adding people to my list, or thinking I should just get one more "little thing" to even out spending on various family members.

@sunny: Yea.... the ice storm we had a few weeks ago delayed things, but that was WEEKS ago. Come on now. Let's get a moving people. UPS isn't as bad, but FedEx. oh man.... One of the packages got delivered today, but was supposed to be earlier this week. Each day I checked on the status, they would update the delivery date to the next day. and the next day. 3 days later, it finally delivered!

I voted that we'd been done for a while. That's MOSTLY true. I haven't finished all the ones I'm making. But as long as there's time, I always keep adding to the "to make" list, so technically it's not possible to finish those early. I just bought new yarn to make my mom a scarf yesterday, on a whim. And I decided to change the color of my cousin's scarf so I restarted that yesterday.

I still have one nephew to buy for, and I'd like to pick something up for my ILs even though we don't exchange presents.

All done a while ago, but I did had to buy a give via Amazon Prime today for a friend's son that I forgot about. Thank goodness for Prime.

No and I am starting to freak out!!! I was planning to go out today but it's snowing pretty heavily. And that's supposed to continue all weekend. I'm so screwed.

@Torchwood: That's me too. I bought presents for 2 nephews but I decided that I might go out and look for something better. If it were already Christmas Eve then I'd be wrapping them up and not worrying about it anymore!

There was no way I was tackling mall craziness with less than ten weeks til due date, so ours was all finished a wee while ago! See if I'm that productive next year with a 9 month old

Still have to shop for my niece. It's so hard because my sister is really picky -- no toys, no clothes. I'm out of ideas!

We were done with 90% of our shopping at the end of
November...my husband knew he was traveling for work a ton in December so he forced us to get it done early. We were so focused on getting all the gifts ordered that we slacked on our cards and just got all of our cards out this week

@yin: what about memberships to the children's museum or zoo or aquarium? Books? Art supplies - like a smock and easel? Gymboree classes? If someone is picky they should at least give people some helpful suggestions

I voted not even close. It is terrible how behind I am. I am going to try and go this weekend and I just know the stores are going to be awful. I did order a bunch of things just a couple days ago that should be coming today (Amazon prime is a lifesaver)

Yep! Finished a week ago. I thought that was probably about the longest I could procrastinate, seeing as I prefer to do most of my shopping online and I had paying expedited shipping.
