I won't have to go out and get food until then maybe Friday.
Boxing day is appetizers day in my house.
I have to wrap my Mother in Laws stuff.
Assemble DH's stocking on Christmas Eve. (everything is wrapped though)
Dinner on Sunday is Steak House (got my annual gift card from a supplier at work) reservations made Christmas Eve is Chinese food.
Crap...I don't have a meal plan for Saturday and or breakfast and lunch items..hmmm at that to the list

I have about 10 presents left to wrap and I need to buy some candy to finish off stockings. I'm thinking about making cookies tomorrow. Or, maybe not, lol.

I have one gift for dh arriving today. One for ds supposed to arrive Monday (it was just a sale I'd come across, hopefully it comes but if not I'm not gonna stress over it). Otherwise I'm done shopping. Dh & yds have haircut appts Saturday morning and they'll stop at the candy store nextdoor to grab candies for MIL/FIL/GMIL. I need to get online and purchase the membership for my parents gift and print out the envelopes for it (a year of date nights). I haven't wrapped a darn thing yet This afternoon is ds' class party, just have to pop some popcorn in a bit before heading there. We have Christmas with my family Sunday at 1 (have to take funeral sandwiches with). Christmas w/ in-laws Sunday at 4. Somewhere inbetween we have to swing by the meat market and pick up the prime rib for Monday. Still have to figure out whatelse we're eating Monday/Tuesday as it'll just be the 4 of us. Dh and yds are leaving early Wednesday morning with FIL to visit dh's grandmother in TN for a week or so, so I have to get them packed at some point.

Shopping for DS, shopping for nieces/nephews/parents, wrapping, meal plans, grocery shopping.... oh my, so much to do! But I have the evenings and all day Sat and Sun, and part of Monday to finish.

I baked cookies Tuesday morning, then we all came down with a norovirus on Tuesday afternoon. I've tossed all the cookies and I'm disinfecting the house today. And again tomorrow before DD arrives. I don't want her to get sick, too. Just got back from the store with a fresh bottle of bleach and bleach spray and paper towels and new toothbrushes and lip balm.
I'm pretty on top of the Christmas stuff, just need to finish wrapping a few gifts.

Sew elastic in two pairs of PJ pants and hem all three pairs. DD’s pj top is done. The apron I made for BFF’s dad is done. All presents still need to be wrapped. Need to bake one (maybe two) more batch(es) of cookies. Have to stop at the grocery store on the way home from DD’s dulcimer concert at school today and pick up an Amazon GC for her teacher, and make a cute container to put it and some chocolate in for her to give her teacher in the last day before break (tomorrow). Pack up the Smencils smelly pencils and erasers DD wanted to give to her classmates tomorrow in cello bags. Need to stop at the dollar store (across the street from the grocery store today) to get some Mylar helium balloons to wrap up in a big box with the new Mickey shirts and stuff I bought to spill the beans to DD about our upcoming Disney Cruise/trip which is our big family gift this year. DH is still waiting on one gift to arrive, mine are all here. Need to go to Game Stop and get a ROBLOX gift card yet for DD’s stocking, it’s right close to the other places I need to go today. Glue colored clothespins to the wooden tree I bought for BFF’s gift. Need to call BFF’s dad and tell him the gifts I ordered for his daughter are all here and ready for him to pick up. (She’s getting some really great stuff this year!) I can’t believe Christmas is four days away. And even more than that, I can’t believe DH asked me last night if “Santa” bought enough stuff, because he had only ordered three things (and two were for himself, LOL)! I laughed and said I was pretty sure I had the rest covered. And bonus day for me, I found three $25 iTunes gift cards that were from last Christmas that never got used, so LOL I’m putting them in the stockings again!

Wrap the last few presents, buy a new cookie press because mine broke last night, finalize menus then grocery shop, clean house, label quilt I made for ds, doublecheck stocking stuffers, bake cookie dough that I made and froze last week — I’m not as on top of things as I thought. Rats.

I actually have nothing left to do. all gifts are wrapped and ready.
Sat I have to take down my 2 museum tree displays so when I get home I can put away all of those boxes that are in my dining room.
We are ordering Chinese for Christmas dinner so no cooking to do.
I don't bake cookies but maybe in a few years when my granddaughter is old enough I will.

My company arrives late tonight so I'm in crunch time!
Have to find something for my neighbor and deliver it today before they leave on a Christmas cruise.
Must find something for my dd11 to give her sister.
I'm still waiting on one package to arrive today.
Need to wrap a few more.
I have to finish cleaning half the house and get the carpets cleaned because my SIL is highly allergic to my cats.
Am picking up groceries at this very moment!
Have to go pick up cookies from a bakery, DH received a gift certificate for 2 free dozen at work and we saved it until now.
Have to go buy my own present from DH as he is unbelievably stressed out and has been working 12+ hour days for the last month.
Plus cooking 2 meals for 13 people on Saturday, as well as making sausage balls for our Christmas morning breakfast.
I'm a wee bit stressed! On top of all that, I homeschool and am trying to get my kids to a good stopping point by today.

I have to make salsa on Saturday for a Sunday gathering. Then first thing Sunday morning, make soup for the same gathering and then transport it an hour and half away.
I need to either make gift card holders or find some in my stash. Other than that, I'm done.

Tomorrow I need to buy more candy to replace the bags I gave my teen for their school party.
This weekend the kids will decorate cookies. Which means tomorrow I need to actually bake them.

I would really not think about it. Just did my big grocery hall, but will need to pick up a few perishables in a couple days. Need to get the teachers gifts ready for my son to take to school tomorrow. Need to do my Christmas cards for family I am seeing Saturday. Need to make a birthday cake tomorrow for Saturday. Need to finish my baking, wrapping and cleaning. I think my shopping is done, but who knows. Waiting on the delivery of a few gifts. I have been sick with a sinus cold so getting things done the past week is slow going.

I have had to cut a lot of stuff this year. My son is on the wrestling team, so that is taking a lot of time. His robotics team made state, so that is more time (I am a mentor for them and am at all the meetings). Finals this week with crazy schedules. Plus I do counseling, so I have several new people to talk with this week (hoping to have time off for the Holidays unless there is an emergency). I had to cut most of our Christmas treats...just no time. After Christmas we will bake some fun things. Still need to wrap everything and meal plan/shop for the next few days. I have been letting things go this year and not being stressed about missing some traditions. Can't be helped. It will still be a great Christmas and we will all be together.

Just a few small gifts left to wrap, get things organized with what stays at my house and what we take to my daughter's. That's about it.

Way too much left to do, but if it doesn’t get done, oh well. Gift stuff is handled.

I'm almost finished shopping, I still need to pick up a few gift cards and get some stocking stuffers from World Market. I'm still waiting on a few packages. I haven't even started wrapping. I'm going to bake just a few batches of cookies, cracker candy & pumpkin muffins on Friday & Saturday. I need to shop for Christmas Eve food, we just have appetizers & funeral sandwiches. I need to decide what to take to my brothers on Christmas Day, it's a 4 hour drive so I have to take that into account. Go see Christmas lights. I live near Indy and we go to the display at the Speedway-it's where the Indy 500 takes place.

I have a few presents that have not arrived yet, which I need to wrap when they do arrive.
I have to pickup my grocery order for the things I didn't pickup already.
And I have to move DS2s crib to his brother's bedroom to bunk them together while my parents are here.
I would like to make cookies.
But everything else is done, gifts are wrapped, most of the groceries are bought, the house is clean. Let's do this!

I'm avoiding making cookies right now. I bought all the stuff, I just don't feel like doing it.
I'm waiting for a few more packages to arrive that I ordered over the weekend from Amazon. All items were prime and in stock, but two of them Amazon has no idea when they will even ship. Seriously?

Pick up ds from college. 15% of wrapping left. Go to grandchild Christmas photo and make sure my sons have decent clothing. Maybe bake cookies. Buy stocking candy at last minute so I don't eat it all.

There are a few presents arriving over the next few days and I'll need to wrap those.
I need to take ds Christmas shopping tonight and dd shopping tomorrow. I will probably sit at Starbucks or the food court while they shop so I'm not sure this counts as doing something.
I need to menu plan for tomorrow through next Wednesday and do the food shopping and go to the liquor store tomorrow.
I will help dd bake cookies on Sunday.
