I hope everyone is through with their shopping!

[Shell Beau]

I am done!! Finally. Finished Monday. But when I went out to lunch, I saw over 6 fender benders. People seem to forget how to drive when they are in shop mode!!

[LeftyMom]

1. I finished monday.

:bounce:

[Draill]

2. Done shopping...

now I just have to wrap. Ick.

[Shell Beau]

5. I wrapped for 4 straight hours Monday night.

Sad thing is that I had wrapped 90% of the gifts already. Which means I probably spent WAY too much money this year.

[Rising Phoenix]

3. I finished Sunday...all wrapped and everything!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Shell Beau]

8. I'm all wrapped too!

Feels good to be done!! :bounce:

[Rising Phoenix]

9. sure does...

I can't wait for christmas...

[TK421]

4. I'm all done! I'm beginning to like Polyannas

[no name no slogan]

6. I won't start until tonight at the earliest

But maybe I'll put it off until tomorrow. We're celebrating Friday night, so I have to be done by then.

[Shell Beau]

7. You better get on the ball!!

:P

[no name no slogan]

28. I've got PLENTY of time

there's still 48 hours before I have to finish. :P

[Rising Phoenix]

don't buy everyone chia pets or anything like that...

waiting til the last minute...

[no name no slogan]

27. Altoids or gum or Tic-Tacs, probably

Actually we're not doing really big gifts this year as most of my family are going to Florida next week instead. So I'm just going to buy gift cards.

Everybody in my family are "hoarders", it seems, and the last thing they need is more junk. Besides, since we're celebrating on Festivus, it would kind of defeat the whole holiday to get presents for everyone :silly:

PS: glad to hear the Sniffamobile is back in service! Cars are a royal pain in the arse, especially in winter :scared:

[LSK]

10. hahahaha thats a good one!!!

Its not the 25th yet!

[Shell Beau]

13. Are you one of those out there on Christmas Eve?

That is usually me since I am a big procrastinator!! Not this year though! I had to be done by tomorrow since we are going to my F-i-L's Friday and then on to my parent's on Saturday which is also my husband's birthday!! :)

[LSK]

15. i wait for Santa and steal gifts from him on xmas eve

Actually I am probably halfway done. Will be out tonite shopping.

[Shell Beau]

16. Well Santa does seem to have all the good gifts!!

:P

[Rising Phoenix]

18. wish him a happy birthday for me!

[Shell Beau]

20. Aw, I sure will!

It has to suck to have a birthday on Christmas Eve. We always joke and say it is tough to share your birthday with Jeses b/c Jesus tends to win!! ;)

[Rising Phoenix]

23. Yeah, its tough to beat Jesus and if you do...isn't that bad for you?

[Shell Beau]

24. It can't be good!

:P

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

11. I didn't have to do any, fortunately, so I'm enjoying the no-pressure vibe

Glad you got yours finished!

[kick-ass-bob]

12. Someone in an SUV plowed into a car today near the mall

They had to get the jaws out to get the person out.

:scared:

[Shell Beau]

14. Yikes!!

It is like people forget how to drive when it rains and during the holidays. My aunt works near a fire department. When I'd be there in her office and it was raining, I would hear the fire trucks go out at least 4 times a day!

[ncrainbowgrrl]

33. which mall?

I can only imagine what the traffic was like if this happened around the crabtree area. :scared:

[kick-ass-bob]

40. it was Crabtree.

:yoiks:

[RebelOne]

17. Alll done, but not wrapped yet.

I really won't have much to wrap because I am giving a lot of gift cards and I also shopped on the Web and had presents shipped.

[Beer Snob-50]

19. finshed shopping last night.

now comes the really really tough part. wrapping. i have a secretary who usually does it for me, but she is gone for the rest of the f-king week. oh well.....

[Shell Beau]

21. Buy lots of bags and tissue paper! It is super easy!

[Beer Snob-50]

22. great idea! thanks.

:toast:

[kwassa]

25. What shopping?

People shop for Christmas?

[AlCzervik]

26. yup, all done and wrapped and hidden away until Christmas Eve.

i finished last week and began to have a very bad feeling, you know "I can't be done this early, i must have forgot someone"

[Omphaloskepsis]

29. I'm all done...

I made furniture for all of the adults.. The three kids got Lego's and dolls. They are all my sisters kids. Not that I made babies with my sister.. I just got her son some Lego's, and her girls got some dolls.

And the GF got shoes and jewelry.

edit -- fucked up the first word.. I have been awake for about 30 hours..

[Canadian Socialist]

30. Just finished....

11 presents (and stocking stuffers) in under an hour. And no Chia pets this year.:evilgrin: Now I have to wrap everything... which involves finding the paper, then scissors, then OMG sticky tape. I need a beer.

[Omphaloskepsis]

31. You use scissors? Hardcore..

I use the tootsie roll method.

1. Tear off a massive sheet of paper.
2. Place gift in the middle.
3. Roll up and twist the ends a few times.
4. Tape it up
5. ???
6. Profit (or your family calls you a sloppy drunk christmas eve fuck)
7. Have a smoke on the back porch

[Canadian Socialist]

36. Well, I have a TON of gift bags

and I make my own paper etc. So I'm up to my eyeballs in crafty shit. So to make up the chintzy presents (this year - I'm broke), I'm going whole hog on the wrapping - tinsel, glitter, etc. It's more work than it's worth, IMO.

[gizmo1979]

32. HAHAHAHAHA>

You're joking right?There are still 3 shopping days left.You get all that time you may as well use it.

[MissB]

34. I'm all done.

Bought, wrapped, shipped.

I've even shopped for the weekend meals I have to make (including Christmas dinner). Now all I have to do is make some cookies.

[qnr]

35. Um... What shopping? Is there a memo I missed?

:dunce:

[gollygee]

37. I finally finished today :D

yay yay yay

My husband and sister were the last two on my list.

[evlbstrd]

38. Finished last week.

It took all of fifteen minutes. Plus shipping.

[LynzM]

39. Nowhere near it...

But I get Friday off so I'm going then, along with 1/2 the rest of the planet :eyes:
