Ordred more gifts this morning. Went through my gift list again to see what is missing. Got my stuff out to address Christmas cards

My life is certainly much easier since we have been having these wrapping parties. I remember the disaster of about 6-7 years ago when I had hurt my back just prior to Christmas and none of the gifts were wrapped. At one stage i thought I was just going to have to throw things under the tree and let the kids figure it out for them selves. Now I have all the dates written in my diary and I hope I will never have that last minute rush again.

Oh, Yeah! I have lots to wrap. I have several things I am donating to the school Holiday Bazaar that needs wrapping. I am going to pre-wrap them and place a picture on the box so the students will know what they are purchasing. It takes a lot of time for the moms to wrap and we are hoping that it may save time.

It's wrapping party day!

Anyone wrapping, or at least thinking about, making your plan for wrapping?!

Whatever we need to do to NOT be wrapping on Christmas Eve! That is our goal!

Our main goal is to not wrap the whole last week before Christmas but to not wrap on Christmas Eve is the ultra ultra goal!

:)

Post your progress here!

My mum is spending the day here tomorrow and we will be wrapping all of my gifts. We have been setting aside a full day since a few years ago when I hurt my back just before Christmas and I went into full panic mode.
Now we set aside a full day, we have lunch and we wrap.

No wrapping for me today.

I pulled out the tote that has all of my wrapping supplies in it and it will stay in the basement where it is easily accessible. This way I can wrap a couple of things here and there without having to dig out my supplies every time.

I have no gifts to wrap , but I do have tons of Christmas totes to go through and organize. It will be so nice to be able to use all my Christmas decor in our new place as the condo was just too small.

Our next wrapping party is set for next Monday, the 10th!

When I first picked the date, I thought it was a holiday (Veteran's day) in the U.S.

But the holiday is acutally Tuesday.

So- whatever everyone wants to do!

Just make sure you set aside some time to wrap or work on wrapping things- check supplies, get supplies, set up a wrapping station.

Anything that gets us closer to our goal!

I'm going to start wrapping gifts next week. I have bought a few gifts last weekend. I still have a few more gift ideas and hopefully, I won't be wrapping gifts on the Christmas week anymore. This has been my problem for years now that I would like to change.
