No, but I've got a good excuse this year - I've been knocked out by a virus. Mind you, to tell you the truth I'm always running around at the last minute! You are not the only useless one - you know that! Happy Christmas!

I used to be like that running around every year trying to buy pressies on xmas eve before the shops shut.
This year i wanted to get all the shopping over and done with and think i may have got it finished today which is a first for me! ( a whole 5 dys before xmas day)
Good luck battling all the other shoppers :-) and merry christmas

My family has our tree set up, all our shopping done and presents under the tree. My family is actually very organized, but I know you aren't the first person not to be (not to be offensive). The only reason we are is because we started preparing around 2 months early. There are always people who rush around at the last minute. There's nothing wrong with that, though.

I thought I'd made a real mess of buying presents, but it turned out that I'd bought MORE than I needed. I do need to start my shopping in August next year, as it turns into a big rush so close to the big day.
There IS still time to post your cards, FIRST CLASS, like tomorrow, & they'll arrive by Saturday, which is absolutely THE last day for cards to be received in time - so get cracking!!!

I use the day after Thanksgiving with all the major sales to kick off the holiday season. I buy all my gifts and cards and write them up, and wrap them while playing some holiday songs in the background. The following weekend I put up my Christmas tree. The weekend after that I put up my outdoor decorations and last weekend I made gifts for my friends (cookies etc.)

I actually just got all done shopping today, and I'm doing the baking tonight. I cant believe it!! I feels good to be done. By the way, I dont think that your useless. If that were true, you would be joining millions of other procrastinators. True???

Yes, I have nothing more to buy or collect or anything. I work at it all year. My boss says I'm lucky - I say that the harder I work at it the luckier I get. Funnily enough.
