Can you believe in a week we will be celebrating Christmas?
I hope by now that all the big chores have been done but if not do not worry. We can achieve a lot in even a short amount of time if we put our minds to it.
Enjoy the week ahead.

I have just a couple of things to finish wrapping -- 2 of them IF they get here. But otherwise, I'll be adding bows today and putting packages under the tree. I was stressing myself out earlier in the week, but this morning I'm confident all will be fine.

@sweetpumkinpye Thanks for keeping us on track!
@Lori K That sounds like a good mind set!

I think I am done with wrapping. DH and DS and I will actually be doing our gift exchange after Christmas as we are leaving this Thursday through next Thursday for our vacation. Just a four hour drive north to the place the grandparents got.

That’s the question of the day. Packages sit at the hub here for days.
Wrapped what I think is the last gift. Recycled some pretty paper my cousin wrapped my gift in.
Husband still hasn’t wrapped my gifts, lol.

All gifts wrapped except for one gift that will be delivered dec. 31st sigh.. our fault for ordering so late (not my fault as I've been asking for suggestions for months and only ordered this week), ah well, will know better next year.

With my being so busy with work the last 3 weeks, so glad I was mostly ready. Of course not hosting is helping alot ;) and with dh being home he can help too.

Lucie, don't be too hard on yourself. You cannot order if you don't get the list.

I actually bagged my presents yesterday. DH was away and I was tidying up so put the presents that I bought myself in cloth bags.

And, for one of them, because I didn't use a g-mail email address when ordering, the Shop app they use won't provide tracking and they've not notified me whether or not my items have shipped, as indicated they would in the Order Confirmation email I received. I've emailed their "support" and "admin" email addresses shown on their Customer Service tab and both are bouncing back as undeliverable. I sent a message to their FB page and hopefully I don't have to leave a bad review. This is a non-profit that works with animal rescue and has been pushing "purchase our merch for the holidays and help us provide help for more animals." Uh . . . right. Very disappointed.

I have missed showing up here. :( Work has been something else. I have had no energy to do anything except the bare minimum when I get home.

All gifts have been wrapped. Some gift cards need to be purchased and some gift certificates need to made.
