Every year my Mum does up her whole house in lights and decorations etc.. so DP and I are going to also

I want to make Skylas first christmas realy special:D

Im just trying to work out what to get her

[JordansMummy]

I am so excited.

For the first time ever I am semi organised. I have done alot of the Christmas shopping and will be finished by the end of November simply cos I know what a nightmare shopping is at that time. I have put alot of things on layby so yay I'm so proud of me. Accept this year Jordan is also having a stocking so those things I will collect each week when I do our food shop.

[catalicious]

Haha I love Christmas It is my absoulute favorite time of year.

Im nearly finished but then when the weeks leading up to christmas come i get really excited and go buy more for everyone.

I love giving and what better a time than christmas!!!

Oh and my Birthday is $ days after Chrissie so that is always a bonus.

[~EmsMum~]

[Niki]

i have nearly finished buying all ds's prezzies but im having a hard time finding a nice santa hat to fit his head they are either to small or to big

[Mum&bubs]

We've done all our xmas shopping! Just still paying them off in time for xmas.. hopefully they are done by then :eek:

Oh I love love love love christmas :smiliedance:

[Ruby Slippers]

[KarniF00l]

Nooooooooooooooooo! :eek: 59 days! Where do i buy more time ? :p

I am so not ready!!! I have finished buying for the kids but as for my family i havent even started!

[MummyCharmzy]

I finished all my christmas shopping a while back (so proud of myself lol) I've even wrapped almost all of the pressies!!!

Its so close! In the mean time we've got both boys bdays and we're moving house! ARGH!

[~mia&ryan~]

:smiliedance: I loooove christmas!!!!

Have most of my shopping done, the presents that I have yet to buy are decided on, its just a matter of buying them. Not starting baking yet..... I start with a month to go!:thumbsup:

I CANT wait!! Mia's first christmas :smiliedance:

[HollyHotLips]

We've done most of the pressies for our parents overseas, suppose I'd better get my backside into gear and get them wrapped and sent!! :rolleyes:

Just got DHs to buy, we've got a $200 limit this year though so should be pretty easy.

[Caithi]

Whooooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooo Cant wait!:smiliedance: :yelclap: :D :thumbsup:

[~Alicia]

oh shut up! Xmas is NOT 59 days away!! :eek:


we haven't done a thing!!! :no:

[Blessed Mum]

OMG :eek: I am so unorganised its not funny.........we go away every year as well...........well I better start getting organised but where to start, I love this time of the year & I am ususally really organised :)
Green with envy of everyone who is :D

[Billy]

I finished all my christmas shopping a while back (so proud of myself lol) I've even wrapped almost all of the pressies!!!


:eek::yelclap: Wow you are good!!! :yelclap: :thumbsup:

[Mikeswifey]

We havent done anything yet.

I brought some of DD's pressies when target had that gigantic toy sale.

But we always decorate the tree and house on the 1st of Dec every year.

This year we are having my mums side of the family's xmas party at my house(week b4 xmas) and I am very excited to be putting on such a big happy function.

I guess I better get preparing what to make and whos bringing what!

[our little treasures]

I am so ready everything is organised for chrissy gifts... Lights and house decorations will be up soon and I am so excited.. DD this year can sing lots of different chrissy songs and we are soooo looking forward to the happy warm cosy chrissy days!!

[SassyMummy]

I've only bought ONE present thus far...I kept putting it off...and now I'm freaking out that I won't have it all done and paid for by Christmas!

We're going to WA for Christmas this year (we're in Qld) to see DP's family... and I'm worrying about who we're gonna see on Christmas Day. I don't want to give presents to everyone I THINK is gonna be there, and have other people show up and not recieve any presents from us (though, really, if anyone DOES show up, they shouldn't expect presents because I don't KNOW anyone else than those I'm planning on getting presents for).

Usually I'll buy for DD, my brother, Mum, Dad, DP's nieces, DP and my friend Belinda. THIS year though...I have to buy for MIL, SIL & partner, MIL's fiance (who's like, 73...what on earth do I buy a REALLY OLD man?) and BIL. I'm paying off some professional photos we got taken of DD...I'm thinking about just wrapping them and giving them as gifts.

I'm also freaking because we won't have enough room in our suitcases to pack presents BEFORE we leave, so I'll have to get them AFTER we get there...and we arrive late December 21! AARRRGGGHHHH!

[our little treasures]

Boxes of cheap choccies are great for those unexpectant guests.. The person feels special as they got a gift and you have got away with the extra costs!!

[ziggie]

At least most of you are organised.... as for the rest of us.....!!!! OMG!!!!
*Note to self - BE MORE ORGANISED NEXT YEAR - OR ELSE! :shame:

[SammieSnail]

No money for Christmas this year :no:

....hand-made and home-baked pressies are the go this year :o

[angelickaren]

oh no really this will be jacinta first christmas, but my boys will be with their dad in adelaide :( they go every 2nd year down for it so its not that bad really but i really do miss them on xmas day) im going to the after sale this yr to buy their pressie to save money i will buy jacinta things but not to much as she will only be 6mths at xmas time

[jess_live_die]

:smiliedance::smiliedance:CHRISTMAS :yelclap:
I LOVE CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR SHOULD BE GREAT FUN. MY BABIES WILL LOVE THIE CHRISTMAS.

[jaydensmum]

I love Christmas too its the best time of year!!!!!!! :smiliedance:

Unfortunately due to the latest stresses we havent even started on xmas yet!! :no: Now things have calmed down a bit im hoping we can get a bit more organised!! :yes:

[Milliner]

I have all of Bailey's pressies ready but not for anyone else!!

[jasminesmum]

My problem is my dd is my first girl after having 2 boys and everywhere I look I seem to see something for her. Maybe I should just not look.

I am a little bit organised though. The toy sales helped alot.

[Bexta]

I'm also freaking because we won't have enough room in our suitcases to pack presents BEFORE we leave, so I'll have to get them AFTER we get there...and we arrive late December 21! AARRRGGGHHHH!

Pack the pressies in YOUR suitcase & just buy all new clothes for yourself when you get there!!!:laughing:

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

[bris_mummy-to-be17]

i love christmas!! such a good happy family time and lots of great food - plus i can eat all the chocolate & chips i want and not feel too bad lol :laughing:

this christmas is going to be extra special 4 me cause my little girl is due on boxing day =D best christmas gift ever i say!

i've bought her so many xmas presents and i dont even know if she will be born yet but it's okay, i'm sure she wont mind lol.

i did my xmas shopping last weekend, lucky 4 me my family isn't expecting much because i'm a single mum to be and only get 50 dollars a week which as u know goes to bubby lol. but i still ended up spending a few hundred dollars on them. lucky i'm not old enough for a credit card :laughing:

well hope christmas is great 4 u all! xoxo

[*Country Bumpkin*]

Im so proud of myself!! I went out on the weekend and managed to get Skylas,Tims brother and his fiance's,MIL & tims youngest brothers pressis!!

[~Alicia]

Oh dear, I have not bought ONE single present.

Looks like the poor credit card is going to get a big workout :thumbsdown:

[SwedeMom]

almost. I´ve gotten the most important for the kids and have some small stuff left to do.

I just hate the christmasrush, when all the stores are full of hysterical people...

So I try to always be ready by then.

i wish we got snow here!!

it always seems to be so hot here on xmas day - thank god 4 our aircon. Just a bit upset i'm due at a really hot time, hope i don't die from the heat :eek:

[~EmsMum~]

wooooot

its gettin closer :smiliedance::smiliedance::smiliedance:

[Kizmet]

we havent done anything yet :crying: so disorganised. am just trying to find space in a day to set aside for xmas shopping lol

anyone pre-cooking anything?

[TeamAwesome]

I'm so disorganised too! cept I think that my excusesare valid our house was (and still is) packed up at end of July and put into a shipping container its still there as we've been to Mandurah in WA (if you dont know where it is it really isnt that small cos hi5 are going there) and are now settling in at Townsville hoping to bring our things up very soon(like next 2 weeks!) then once that expence is over Then Can focus on Christmas YAY!! DH wont let me really buy anything until its up!! I'm eyeing off several things already for kids though honestly have no idea what to get DD as its her 1st B'day on Dec 20th then of course Christmas just 5 days later. My 2yo (28mo) now has more of an understanding which definately makes me want to do a bit more this year! when he sees he trees in the stores or the santa dolls he'll point and say "its Christmas, its Christmas!" Very excited as its our first year just us, no extended family must do visits [note to self continue not telling my mum where we live or big drama will follow on Christmas eve/day] what can I say she's the only hiccup in our celebrations every year but not this year! Silly Drama Queen needs to grow up and not butt into ours when its not wanted!

Hooray for Christmas!!!!!!!! :smiliedance: :yelclap:

[Gribel]

Dashing through the draught in a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.
Chorus
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh
