Who's Ready For Christmas?

The gifts have been wrapped and under the tree for the last two weeks. Everyone that I had to send gifts via the postoffice has been received by my family. I cleaned the house completely yesterday. I gave myself a pedicure and now have to just do a manicure and decide what I will be wearing for Christmas Eve. I know what I'm wearing for Christmas day. I will be baking an apple pie and pumpkin pie Friday. Otherwise I'm really ready. This has been my least stressful Christmas in my 54 years of living. I feel so bad for the people still going crazy out there because I know I have been there. Merry Christmas and Happy Healthy New Year!

I am extremely ready for Christmas! I have all gifts wrapped up already, the house is all decorated, I got an awesome item for the pot luck, and I am in a the holiday mood. The only thing left to do is wait until Christmas comes. Most of my family members are coming over for a family gathering so it is going to be lots of fun. Happy Holidays! =)

this year i seem to be so unorganized! i better get off the computer and finish my wrapping!

I'm DONE with Christmas. My family had ours back in November. Gifts made, wrapped, delivered and OPENED. I don't do my nails, or my hair tho I will WASH it... Honestly, for some strange reason, I'm just not much in the holiday mood. Now, the roomie still has some gift cards to pick up, but her pay day is Friday and we are going to get them then.

This is the first time ever that I have done nothing. I have been so sick for the last two wees that I have had no motivation. Because I am low on funds I planned on going out and buying my two kids their gift. As bad luck would have it I woke up with a migraine, which is now lingered to a bad headache so I am unable to move. I will try again tomorrow. Glad to hear you are so ready.

Hi! Merry Christmas to you and to all MyLotters! I'm all ready for Christmas, had my hair cut & colored, had my nails done too, prepared my outfit and all (but still not sure what to wear), all gifts are wrapped and ready. I'm done with 2 reunions and I have 2 more to go.

i'm definitely not even though it is only less than 1 day left... i feel that the most important thing during christmas is to prepare our heart for Christ and i'm not ready yet... hopefully by tomorrow i will be ready because i will be doing lots of self-reflections tonight... have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you... take care and have a nice day...

I have a few little wrapping chores. I am singing with a group tonight at a nursing home. We will travel on Christmas Eve. No glamor for me, but that is okay.My nails are all broken off. Too much baking and cleaning.

I have been ready for a while. I need to be ready early as I have to ship most of my gifts..I don't bake alot anymore. But this afternoon I am going to make a cheesecake for dessert on Christmas day...other then that...I am ready!

You are ready! I have got most of it finished. I still have a few things to wrap and might have to go "even" out the gifts a bit but other than that..well...I'm in..Oh yesh..I still have to do the nails..lol. Merry Christams!

Well, I got the last presents bought a couple of days before, the only thing left to do is to wrap them and then I will be locked and loaded for Christmas! Got some Christmas spirit in my heart already, I assume these will be nice holidays!

I'm ready! The only thing left to do on my list is travel! lol My hubby and I need to pack tonight and then load up the car tomorrow morning and travel home for the holidays. I've actually had all my shopping and wrapping done for over a week now. We're still hitting up some of the sales for things of our own, but overall we're ready for the holidays. Can't wait. :-) Happy Holidays to you!

I know that this response is a little late, as Christmas is done and over. But I wanted to get in here because this discussion reminded me of my feelings just before Christmas. I really felt I wasn't ready for it. Yet, I went through it with both eyes wide open. And in a couple of days, I will know if I survived it.

Hi Stephanie Ann C: I usually don't do many preparations for my Christmas but I have prepared a special present for my brother. He has been very special to me this year and we have shared a lot of time together. I think I'll have dinner with him this night. I also think that I will do the usual thing: I'll go to my parent's house and enjoy the night with them. ALVARO

I'm happy to hear that you're all set for the big day. I have a feeling that there are a lot of people who envy you right now! LOL I don't know how many people aren't ready but I do hope I'm not alone!!! I got sick yesterday. Sick, like I haven't been sick in a long time. I'm not exactly sure what it is that I have but I'm pretty sure I caught it on a trip to Baltimore on Sunday to visit my son and best friend for the day. I won't go into details, I'll just say it hasn't been pleasant. It pretty much involves my entire body... digestive system, head, chest, etc. Blech! So, I'm not ready for Christmas. I had everything planned for each day leading up to Saturday. Because I've been sick, I haven't wanted to do much besides sleep. I feel like I was bitten by a tse-tse fly (those things that give you a sleeping sickness). I don't think I've EVER slept this much! Normally, when I get sick, it's hard to keep me in bed. People have almost had to sit on me to keep me in bed and resting so I'll get better. With this whatever it is, I haven't wanted to get out of bed. I get up to get something from the kitchen and look at the livingroom and diningroom, nowhere near ready for guests, and just sigh, then go back to bed. I know it sounds like the flu but I got a flu shot in October. It still could be the flu, a different strain than what the shot covered. I just haven't been this sick in a LONG time. I do feel a bit better today so I MAY be okay for Christmas but I'm soooooooooooo not ready! I might just call everyone and ask if they'd mind putting the celebration off for a week. Doing it next weekend shouldn't hurt anyone's feelings. If it does, I wouldn't want them here anyway. Now, what do I have to do? Well, hmmm... I have to clean my house and rearrange to put more seating in both the livingroom and diningroom, wrap most of the gifts I've bought, actually finish one gift (I make a lot of what I give), get the clothes I plan to wear ready (I just bought new pants that need to be hemmed, then ironed), bake the cakes and breads that I give away as gifts (I finished the cookies and candies, at least), and of course cook the grand meal but I don't normally start that until two days before Christmas anyway. OH! That would be today, wouldn't it?!?! Well, it's pie and cake day today, a.k.a. dessert day. I MAY have the energy later to bake them but I really think I should just postpone the celebration for another week to give me time to get well so I don't have a relapse. What a bad time to get sick, huh? I wish you the very best holiday season.

I am all ready for Christmas. I got all the presents I planned on getting the beginning of the month when I got my SSD check. I also went to Hallmark store and got some very nice cards and some ornaments as well for my granddaughter and her new family. I love that store. They had some very cute ornaments from Disney and their usual items. The cards are great and this year they had ones you could record a message on and Christmas story books too.

Well physically I am ready. Everything that needs to be done is in fact done. So there is really nothing else to do. The shopping was done a couple of months ago. I'm sure that there are some people who are rushing out today or maybe even tomorrow. Such is the nature. However given the fact that this entire year has gone so quickly, I can hardly believe it is Christmas. It just does not seem like it at all. Still when that happy day does come, things will change.

I have finished wrapping my gifts for Christmas. My family made some preparations for Christmas. I think everyone in my family is ready for Christmas so I think I am ready for Christmas. Merry Christmas.
