I'm wayyyy behind. I haven't got my lights done outside and my daughter started those over a week ago, hope to get em done tonight. I've hardly done any shopping but Stromba's gift is coming together nicely (a creative work in progress). My mom baked a ton of Christmas cookies and I'm doing my best not to eat them all. I got my tree up and decorated but my daughter's tree still needs to be finished. I've never been this late and disorganized for Christmas before.

Honestly, I am one of those guys that waits till the last minute! Lights are going up this weekend but the shopping will be done next weekend!

I am all done outside and the Christmas tree is all up and ready for presents. All the shopping is done all we have to do it wrap the presents and put them under the tree. So i am good to go

Timma · #4 12-10-04, 07:15 AM

I'm pretty much done.

I left all the decorating for the woman she likes doing that suff. As for shopping I'll probably end up at the mall on christmas eve as usual.

That's cause the tree is still normally up from the year before.

Betty and I arn't doing x-mas this year. We don't normally do much anyway since we are always away for the holidays. With her out of work this year we decided not to do any gifts this year. We will just have creative ways to show how much we love each other.

We had the tree up right after Thanksgiving. Finished shopping last weekend. Let the parties begin!

Im right on target . I wait until Xmas eve every year to shop. My best friend my brother and I have made it kind of a tradition. Get drunk and shop.

For those of you in Floriduh, I think you'll get it

and a dark shot

I haven't done any shopping yet. I'm pretty much relying on my christmas bonus. If I don't get one this year, then no one gets any presents. I'm going to be doing some last minute scrambling.

My decorations aren't going up this year unless you count moving boxes as decorations.....

LOL..I love it!

I saw some when I was looking for a new tree this year and almost got one but I think Stromba would kill me.

You've got a point there. I've always kept my daughter's tree fully decorated and just hidden in a closet and one year I kept my tree up for the entire year, just moved it into a less used room. Well, this summer Stromba dissassembled my daughter's tree and lost a piece, so I had to buy her a new tree. My old tree is so wide that I wanted a smaller tree, plus it's hidden in the garage behind the hurricane window wood so I couldn't get to it, so I got myself a new tree too. So, my late decorating is definitely Stromba's fault.

That's just Floriduh style. My wife bought ours at Beall's when she worked there last year. We probably wouldn't have got it but they were on clearance so we bought it. Next year I am going to string Corona caps on it.

Who's gonna drink all that Corona? hmmmmm?

I'm doing better. Got a bunch of shopping done and worked on the outside lights some more. It'll all be done by Christmas. LOL

Dude I have no clue what goes through the wife's head sometimes. I think she just figures the paper is gonna get fragged anyway so just wrap them all the same. Damned accountants. On the other hand if I were in charge of wrapping they wouldn't get done at all either becasue of my ADD or OCD.

Two words for ya...GIFT BAGS!

Stromba usually waits till Christmas Eve to wrap his gifts and is frazzled by the time he's done. Last year I got some tissue paper and gift bags and made life a little easier for him. Plus, gift bags can be used again, unlike wrapping paper.
