The race is on … to finish all your Christmas tasks!
Did you get ahead before Thanksgiving or are you in with the pack?

So we are now officially in the Christmas season — although I’ve been working on it for the last month.
I have a lot of early-bird friends who started making me nervous back at Halloween when they declared their Christmas cards had already come in. And when my mother told me that my sister-in-law was completely done with all her shopping by EARLY November, I decided I needed to get into gear!
As of Thanksgiving, I have my cards in hand ready to address. (Although my printer is on the fritz so I’m trying to decide whether to hand address or buy a new printer — neither sounds fun!) I have all the presents for the big kids (minus one or two stocking stuffers). I have all my husband’s presents and presents for my godson already sent. I am working online on photo presents for the grandparents.
So I need to work on the baby (Does anyone have a gently used Little Tikes outdoor playhouse they want to sell me for cheap?), presents for my niece and nephew, presents for the teachers and bus driver and finish the present for the grandparents. Still a lot of work to do!
My goal is to have most of the work done so I can enjoy the season — baking, making ornaments, watching movies and playing games with the kids.
How do you stand? What is your goal to finish? Do you feel pressure when your friends are finishing up?
