I'm close to being done. luckily I have almost no wrapping to do because I'm reusing lots of gift bags.

I have several gift bags that I could use as I never throw them out However there are some items that just won't fit into gift bags....Plus the fact that I love wrapping gifts (Believe it or not) However, If I run out of time I just may have to go with some bags...the main problem is that I work outside the home four to five days a week and so that cuts down huge on my time!!! Happy gift Bagging and Merry Christmas to you! :) ~Heavens~

I'm finished with my shopping. I haven't wrapped everything yet though. I did start wrapping some stuff last night but I haven't finished it all yet. Maybe I'll get time to wrap some more sometime this week or either I'll do it this weekend.

We finished all the wrapping except for the big one. We have to get a gift receipt just in case our daughter-in-law wants to return it. Now I have to go all the way to the bank, and get some money out so to pay for my presents and there is a song book that I want to get. I just finished yesterday. Had to. The internet was off for at six hours. I still have to get more stuff, but not that much as I really do not feel like doing any more shopping. It is hard when you find you cannot afford the things you want to give and have to substitute something else.

Hi heavenschild, Thanks so much for 'this gentle reminder' here. So far, I've bought all of three gifts, and they're not wrapped yet. I really need to get out shopping again, but now have a further complication, due to the fact that I've hurt my leg. However, I shall perservere, and will get this accomplished (somehow).

Though we follow another religion,still we celebrate Christmas in a different way which is mostly for kids and has gained tremendous popularity here.So,obviously we don't do elaborate gift shopping.But whatever few gifts we have to buy is still pending and most likely we are going to do it this weekend.Plus I have to make little wings for my li'l one who's going to dress up as guardian angel for their fancy dress party. Wishing you Merry Christmas.

I've only got some presents so the christmas shopping hasn't even been completed yet. But still, none of them have been wrapped yet. In fact the gifts are still hidden in their secret location somewhere :)

Most of my shopping is done, but I haven't even started wrapping. That is usually not finished until the last minute. My husband and I like to stay up late on Christmas eve, spread everything out and wrap all in one sitting. I enjoy wrapping gifts, so it is a lot of fun for me.

I'm sure your brother's will buy for you! It is important for you not to over spend while you are in school! Get each person a small gift...It is more important that the family get together. Merry Christmas to you and your family MGjhaud! ~Heavens~

My husband and I are done with our shopping. I have always gotten my shopping done by August, this year was different as I knew we were going to exchange names at Thankgiving, so I had to wait to get finished. I have most of the gifts wrapped too. How 'bout I come over and wrap yor presents for you? I do that for a few of our friends. Merry Christmas to you too!

Thanks so much for your offer gapeach65 and I may accept if we lived closer even though I love wrapping gifts... It is just that my part-time Job outside the home has turned into five days a week and it is hard to find time to get things done!! Thanks once again for your response here and A Merry Christmas to you also! :) ~Heavens~

Well, I would like to be able to make you jealous, but.........truth is, I do have most of my shopping done, waiting for one that I ordered to get here, and a few small things to get. I have wrapped one present, which, I then was sitting here looking at the tree and realized, I have to re-wrap it because I forgot to put part of it in the box! ooppsss. So, I had planned on today being my wrapping day, I'm going to go put a roast on in a bit, go bring out the wrapping paper and get the gifts wrapped. As for my significant other...he's bought one present for his dad! He'll be doing shopping this week, and I'm sure on the 22nd! But, somehow he always gets it done, and always gets me some fabulous gifts! I was talking to my sister in Texas yesterday, to let her know our gifts had arrived, and she was re-wrapping allll of her gifts! She had bought some wrapping paper on sale, and according to her, there is not a tape made that will keep the paper stuck where it's supposed to be! lol Merry Christmas

I have a closet full of gifts. I haven't wrapped a single one. We leave on Dec 21, so I need to get started. I tell myself every day that I am going to get everything out and wrap, so far all I have been doing is procrastinating. I really need to get it done this week!

I've only bought part of one gift for my niece. I do have that wrapped, but I still need to buy for my other neice, both my nephews, my sister, brother and father. And I haven't a clue what to get my nephews. What do 7 and 14 year old boys like?

I too would love to do all my wrapping this week but I know it is not going to happen...Too much other stuff to do and hectic work schedule as well. Must wrap the gifts for my husbands sister and Step Mom this week as we have their Christmas on Sunday...the rest will likely have to wait until next week! I hate last minute :( Ah Well.... Happy Wrapping! ~Heavens~
