  • I am mostly sort of organized. Delivered presents to one son and family in Denmark in October. Have all the presents bought or made for all the relies we are meeting up with next weekend. Still have to wrap some though. Bought or ordered everyone elses presents, all but my eldest DS who I stil am not sure what to get.
    Will wait till the weekend before christmas to hopefully get a reduced tree and put decorations up.
    I have made the cake just got to ice and have bought the turkey.
    Suspect I will be running out of time and money as usual by christmas.

    My presents are finally all bought (bar one that I'll buy when I get to my parents' house because it's not travel-friendly), most of the gifts for people not my beloved are wrapped and the remainder will be done over the weekend.

    His last few gifts were shipped today, and when they all arrive I'll wrap everything at the same time and put them under our tree.

    The tree is up, but this is the first year I've decorated my own and it's very sad looking from not being decently covered. So we'll fix that this weekend.

    I'm picking up the wine on Sunday, and since I'm staying with my parents there's no food shop to be done.

    Ten more days of work then I'm off for Christmas!!!
