Christmas is less than a week away, and although I know a few of us already talked about our Christmas shopping in UCT I figured I'd make this thread now since it was roughly the same time I made last years version.

I can't think of much to say right now because I'm still agitated over just spilling my drink all over the floor, but I'll at least say that for at least the third year in a row I have heard zero Mariah Carey on the radio. Unsure

I've been busy wrapping gifts since yesterday for everyone I got a gift for. I've finished wrapping my mom's gift, my dad's and today I'll be wrapping what I got for my hubby. I just sent out a Christmas card out to my brother and his wife full of holiday cheer: aka Chic-Fil-A gift cards and some cards to use for whatever. 

My husband has just been giving our nephew's cash since their grandparents spoil them rotten with whatever they want. 🤷‍♀️Still, at least at the end of the day we still got something for each other. :3

I've done the majority of my Xmas shopping which isn't for a lot of people, just got to wait for a few to arrive in the post and buy one or two more things then I'm done.

Will be working everyday up to Christmas Eve where I'm scheduled to finish at 3pm, Christmas Day will be 5 of us, opening presents, looking forward to watching Wallace & Gromit's new feature, and likely a game of Monopoly.
I'm working Boxing Day but not for too long as I want to finish at noon, then back home where my brother and his wife will visit us.

I had to do some emergency gift buying today because I didn't realize until today the disparity of gifts I got my twin sisters, and I didn't want them accusing me of picking favorites, even in jest.

I've got three days off in a row this Christmas week: the 23rd, 24th, and 25th. So I'm cool with that lol.

Dang, I'm surprised you got the two days before Christmas off. I've always been under the impression that practically everyone they can get works on at least Christmas Eve. 

Since @Mr EliteL mentioned his plans for Christmas, for me it'll be a family gathering on Christmas Eve night which I hope doesn't turn into a nightmare because people who are awful with alcohol are bringing, you guessed it, alcohol. Christmas Day is just gonna be me and @ShiraNoMai going to her mum's to open our presents and have breakfast.

Yeah, I definitely look forward more to Christmas Day events than Eve; I also have to help out for Eve-day which is fine but it's more work and energy to expend :noooo:

I got all my shopping done around Cyber Week sales, so now I just need to finish wrapping tomorrow and Monday. I chose to repurpose the Amazon boxes I've been receiving as gift boxes, which is something I don't normally wrap (I tend to bag things instead).

Moony and I opted not to decorate in the end, but that's okay. It used to be my only way for me to remember what time of year it is (cuz the weather sure doesn't show it) but now I have the fantastic luxury of Being Online™️where you can never escape the current state of the world at any given time!
