I've just ordered my cards and already recieved numerous ones. OMG!!! I'm late this year! Still have to address envelopes, get stamps and pick up cards. HMPH! I wasn't this late last year! I was one of those early people ...so hope you guys forgive my slow year. Cards should be ready in a few days and I"m praying they get to their destination before Christmas. ![]() Marianne |

I feel your panic! |
It's just Dec. 5 ( okay, almost Dec. 6 ). It could be much later...like Dec. 20 ![]() |
OH YES BIG TIME!!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Yeah, I'm getting bitchy. Not a good season for me. |
No way. Christmas is awesome. People worry too much. Everybody needs to relaxxxxxxxxxxxx. ![]() |
Too much needs to be done in too short of time for me. I have already decided NOT to bake cookies. I may try the sugared pecans & the toffee recipes that were listed on the forum instead. One kennel club Christmas dinner out of the way. 2 other company Christmas dinners to go to yet. And next week will be taken up with getting 2 dogs ready for the dog shows in Cleveland, OH, going to the show site to save grooming space & then spending 3 days at the shows ![]() ![]() ![]() |
shhhhh! don't say the c word too loudly I'm hoping my teenager won't notice it.......... ![]() |
Last year mine arrived this year, in February. LOL ![]() ![]() So you can't be much later than I was! |
Ron, yours were awesome!
I have received many cards. Thank you all. It is wonderful seeing them each year. I have to admit however that this year I didn't get a new picture done. There was just too much going on with getting Norm ready to leave. But i do think you'll like the card that comes......... it's a tribute to my foundation Rosie and Myrddin......... I'm just not in the 'spirit' this year. I'm not even putting up any decorations at all here.... I'm hoping to get them out this coming week....... |
I will feel much better after the house is decorated...and we are beginning today. Tree-time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() First a good cleaning ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() BUT it is all worth it when the grandbabies come over and see the house for the first time....I love that FIRST reaction!!!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
My feeling is that people(or stores)are pushing Christmas this year. Whats the big rush ![]() ![]() If it was the 15th...then I would begin to panic, or maybe worry a little. |
To me, the worst thing is starting to decorate & then having to stop in the middle & have the "clutter". So I decorate in steps. Main floor, family room, then all the snowmen come out. This is after Thanksgiving is all cleaned up , dogs groomed etc. so I have several days clear to finish after work each day. The tree goes up last because it takes so long. Last night I told my husband that I didn't want to put it up until NEXT Sunday. He thought that was too late. I told him I had something scheduled each day/evening for the next week except for Monday night & I didn't want the tree up & standing there undecorated. Now THAT starts to make me panic. |
I have no idea how some of you CAN relax during the holiday season. I would enjoy it so much more that way, but with the amount of things that go on in the weeks to come ..........it's IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! ![]() Christmas parties, functions, family pictures, cards, gift-buying, gift-wrapping, having to still fit in football for hubby ![]() I love Christmas and everything that comes with it, but it is tiring!!!! |
Yes - I keep thinking there is lots to do and not much time to do it.
I have my list though and so now I just need to work through it I think everyone panics but it always gets done in the end |
And if it doesn't..............well Christmas dawns on Dec. 25th no matter what is left to do! Been there done that & the world didn't end. I think we all just try to make it a "perfect" time. Everyone seems to have a good time & enjoy it no matter what didn't get done! ![]() |
We don't have much going on this year. Kids are young adults so no little kids to buy for, besides my hubby is trying to save $$$ this year so nothing to splurge with. I know there is still volunteering I can do, but when do I find the time, still working full time. |

![]() Sure, I "know" that, but it doesn't stop that rushed, not enough hours in the day panic lol |
Not really I usually leave everything till the last week then the panic starts, OOOOOH christmas is not far off now ![]() I always say I will get organised earlier but never do in the end then run around like a chook with its head cut off in a mad rush. ![]() ![]() |
Im not sure that you could call what Im feeling "panic" exactly....Its more like..."Christmas????.....when did THAT sneak up on me???!!!!" ![]() Im utterly unprepared....cards not done....shopping? what shopping?....yikes. Im usually SO good about xmas stuff. I collect gifts all year long, make gifts starting in September, start wrapping/mailing in November....this year? HA!!!!! ![]() I am SO hosed. ![]() Hey Ron....could we have THIS face with a Santa hat please???... ![]() |
