The only thing I have to get now is some stuff for my Mom's stocking. Aside from that I'm done like dinner!!!!!!!!
I started to buy stuff in October when I saw it on sale. And out girls buffalo weekend rocked ad I got about 80% of it done there.
Then there's Kevin... He has bought 2 things so far. He tried to go last night but he had a problem returning his modem at the mall and that took up 1.5 hours. He was so frusterated he came home. Guess what he's doing this weekend? lol

Honestly I was done for the grandparents, parents and kids. That's until the other night my FH stated that he wants to get our son this internet membership to a game he loves to play. ARGH! Ok fine I will just write a note telling him on christmas morning that he got his membership. The hard part is I have ran out of ideas for my daughter from her list I got everything there is nothing more and I am straped for ideas. Also I have to run out in the next couple of days and have the kids get something for there father and then I am offically done.

GOOD GIRL!!!!!!!!! Kevin keeps doing that to me. I asked him forever ago "what do you want for Christmas" He said "I don't know" so I improvised. I know what he lieks and needs and so on. 2 days ago he turns and says ooooh you know what I want for Christmas. I almost strangled the man I swear!!!!! This would have been good info like 2 months ago when I did most of my shopping!!! So I bought him his stupid DVD, and that's it no more. If he wants something else he can go to the m,all on the 26th!

I have a few things left but not much. I have to make a trip to best buy which will take care of Jonathan and my mom, head to Barnes and Noble to take care of FFIL and then to Dick's for my dad. 2 of them are gift certificates and the others are video games so we'll see how long it takes...

I voted almost there. All I have to buy for is my DH and that is because we haven't have the money to spend untill this weekend. And we have to do the stockings, But I always leave them for last min. any ways. ot sure why I just like doing it that way.
And we dont have the kids Christmas eve day so I will have all day to wrap their gifts.

I am completely done and I still haven't entered a mall. :bblol:
I was out last night and needed some more wrapping paper so I decided to wander around to see if anything else jumps out at me....and nope, not a thing! So then I knew I was done for sure. :)

I basically only need a few more small things. Kevin on the other hand, he's almost finished shopping for me, but has NOTHING for his mom, dad, sis, and brother! He plans on going Friday. Good luck to him!!!!

Our cat isn't exceptionally bright and has a very short attention span, she forgets about toys within 5 mins. of playing with them. LOL

I just need to make a trip to the pharmacy to pick up some little stocking stuffers and some things to bring to Cuba.
It is next to impossible for the residents to get regular stuff like some toiletries, crayons, hair decorations, nylons etc. that we take for granted. So we are loading up our suitcases with all kinds of stuff to leave behind. Of course they appreciate the tips but they seem to appreciate these little things more because even with the money, they may not be able to find the stuff to buy.
The last time we were there, our snorkelling guide wanted to buy our $6 cheapo backpack off us for $20. The ironic thing is, we only had it because it wasn't good enough for my son (it didn't have Nike on it someplace). anyhow, we told this young man that if we could pack everything we brought into our suitcase, we would give him the back pack and that is just what we did. The only thing we asked him was if we could take a picture of him with the back pack to show my son.
