I was feeling the same way but then I realized that i'm farther than I thought I was. I already have at least half of DS's presents since we decided to save some of his birthday presents for Christmas instead. I know exacty what i'm getting DD just have to get it at some point.
Oh my!! and I have Halloween which is a biggy before that! oh, oh.
Until X-mas some weekends will already be busy:
- Dance recital for DD
- 1 weekend for Halloween
- 1 weekend to decorate for Christmas
- 1 weekend at mom's house
- 2 -3 weekends for baking
- 1 weekend for a hockey tournament?
So not much time left before Christmas (what with working full-time too). It's coming fast!
I feel pretty good...I think I'm right on track. I don't usually start getting serious with the shopping until after Halloween. But-I do know what everyone is getting and that's a big start. I do have a lot of lists made, menus done, shopping lists in the works and parties planned. So...again..right on track! yay!!!
I love when it finally gets down to the double digits !!! I am doing pretty well - we think we will be moving into our new home the weekend before thanksgiving - so now I am just thinking I will get everything wrapped (presents)- since when we bring in christmas stuff - it will just go into living room - I will be unpacking and setting up christmas tree/decorations at the same time !! I am thinking I can do tree on saturday night the 21st of november - when everyone else is in bed sleeping !! I will spend columbus day holiday wrapping.
