Oh my goodness, I know that Christmas Day falls on the same day each year - but, I am SO dis-organised and can't believe that this time next week will be Christmas Eve??  Anyone in the same boat?? Dawn

yup

> Oh my goodness, I know that Christmas Day falls on the same day each year - but

Actually it's the fact that it's not the same day which throws me.  If it was a named day like Shrove Tuesday or Ash Wednesday or Easter Sunday, it might be easier.  Have you noticed how the day gets lost under the titles; Christmas Day, Boxing Day etc?  I find it so hard to fix in my mind what actual day of the week it is without constantly looking in the diary.  I'm trying to plan visits and end up saying 'the day after Boxing Day', or 'the day before New Years Eve'!!

Ooh listen to me - I do believe that was a mini rant :)  I'll put that down to a week with the in-laws!  They left today so peace will gradually descend - I'm taking calming breaths...

I hate t say this but I am goig to brag.
I have ALL my xmas pressies :)~ :) :)
I got most online and in the city last week, and finished off today, even though my mum ended up in hospital from sun-tues so had the stress of that, Mum and me went to the city to do the last of it al today :) :) :)
Now just got food shopping to do :) :)~ :) :)
I normally finish on xmas eveand have done for the last 15 years!!!!!!!
Lea :) :) :)

This time next week it will all be over here as Christmas Eve is the day that counts for us. Buying last presents tomorrow, no idea when I will do all the baking -no freezer space due to meat for the animals taking up all the space!

I finish work on Friday...I have had some kind of mental block, I was convinced I had an extra week before Christmas arrived! Yes I was actually relying on it too.

Karen :(

How spooky is that....me too!!!!

I have never ever been so organised, I am always rushing around on Christmas Eve doing my Christmas shopping but this year I have finished and got most of it under the tree wrapped.

I have even had 2 of my presents off Stu because they wouldn't last till Christmas!!!

>Anyone in the same boat??

Yep - yesterday I had to book someone an appointment for 1 week's time and the date came up as Christmas Eve, and my jaw dropped because I hadn't realised it was so close!

You finished work on Friday!!!  Do you mean you're off now till after Chrimbo/New Year. If so, greeeeeen is my colour.

We don't get to escape until Xmas Eve, if we're lucky they may let us knock off a bit ealier.

I have very little done.  The only thing I have gotten as far as Christmas shopping goes are the bows to go on the presents, but I havent got the presents yet! 

I havent done Christmas baking yet either!  I am so far behind, and it just seems to be coming quicker, and I cant get things done. 

Maybe just postpone Christmas pressies until I get the time to go to the store?  Dont think people would mind if I just wait until next year, it gives me more time LOL

One week today & it will be CHRISTMAS DAY! Santa will have been, my pressies will be open & I'll be tucking into a lovely yummy brekkie in my new PJ's!!! WHHOOOOHOOOOO! CAN'T WAIT!!!!

*****MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL*****

yup - have bought 1 pressie that's it - although have made a list of things to do now - no deccies up - keep saying going to do it and don't but think when finally do I wll be in much better Xmas mood!  as haven't felt Xmassy at all but slowly getting there!

Now going to Bristol for three days Sun-Wed - so that means have to get much more organised!

NEXT WEEK :-0  no it can't be I will have to reschedule it for later in the year as haven't started any prepartions so far.

Only just got the cards sent off, tree has been up for almost a week, still thought I had at least a fortnight

I'm so disorganised - Christmas per usual then LOL. 

I can't beleive it!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 week and I've bought nothing, not even got my tree up yet! mad rush tonight at late night shopping me thinks

I am disorganised as always!! lol

Met a old friend on the bus the other day and as useual the chat turned to xmas, She was moaning it had come around to quick this year. I found it so funny because it was like she was blaming someone for moving the date. She was saying she hasnt had a chance to get anything done . I had to laugh and say its the same date every year and youve had a year to buy stuff.

I have brought all the pressies, cards sent just need to wrap them up. Its only the kids and hubbies everyone elses is done. Only the kids lol they have loads. I still need to do a big food shop, make mince pies, ice the cake. ......................

better get a move on lol

Me too, nothing at all done, but there's only me and OH so it's easy just us and a big bird on Christmas Day!  :D

Just need to wrap around 3 pressies and then i am all done thank goodness!! Did most of the wrapping the other week, but more or less sorted, its come around so quickly and it feels so weird it being next Thursday, spooky how fast its come around :-O
I am still excited though because its time off and nice relaxing times ha ha :)

Just waiting for one final pressie to arrive (should arrive on Saturday - if my son turns up!) though I do have to replace the selection boxes this year No, I didn't eat them. Some 4 legged fiends got to them on Monday :-( Ok, I'll admit to eating what they hadn't got :-D Diet? What diet??????

Thank goodness there are others like me. I cannot get my head around that fact that next week is Christmas. I have finished buying for my boys but nobody else and keep saying that I will do my cards tomorrow!

I have just shopped a bit on line the rest I intend to get Saturday and hope for the best,  Sunday dinner with friends then back to work Monday until 15.00 Xmas eve...... We have as a family decided to downsize a bit ....just as well LOL
One bonus of this virus is I have lost half a stone!!!!!!
