Start buying Christmas presents before Christmas Eve

I got all Christmas Presents by December 23rd…:]

Technically, I did say “start”, and since I finished all 3 kids and half of my wife’s, I’ll chalk this up as a success (no matter what happens tomorrow…).

I bought the presents for my sister’s kids, and most should even get there on time.

Now I can procratinate over my wife’s and mother’s gifts for the next week or so.

Sweet.

Amazon.com orders have to be in by this Friday for delivery by December 22nd…time to make some decisions.

Done – I just got confirmation email from Best Buy that my last gift has shipped! Of 9 gifts I bought 2 online, one was a HUGE pain in the butt.

All right, everything is packaged/wrapped/sealed/signed and ready for giving! Yay, all done! Merry Christmas, to all my 43things friends, and even to the ones I don’t know that well. :)

So I’ve basically got all the prezzies I need to, except my brother (we’re going shopping together tomorrow). Pre-planning with a good list, and a well-organised trip to the shops, is clearly the way forward.

and about halfway done now, I suppose

I got most of my shopping done, now I have to make sure that the gifts get there in time!

I hope to do this sometime this week… Hopefully I won’t end up having to wait until Xmas eve (I’m seriously almost broke now)... I just want to make sure I have enough to get stuff for everybody I need to… I feel bad if I leave anyone out
