A little less ambitious than some Midwestern gal I know. ;-) We did most of our ordering online this year, and there's only a few things that haven't come it. I have picked up a few things at the store, and there are a few things yet to get for the "hard-to-buy-for" people like grandparents. With two birthdays and Christmas all at the same time, my biggest challenge is figuring out what's a birthday present and what's a Christmas present.

One year I had all my cards addressed before Thanksgiving, that was great! November was just too busy with outside activities this year! Sounds like you can just sit back and breathe! Enjoy it, Colleen! ;) I always say I’ll start earlier, and rarely do! One year I had all my cards addressed before Thanksgiving, that was great!

We are buying the kids one major gift, which was expensive but we paid cash. SR was easy to buy for because I could get all his things online and I wrapped everything right away instead of waiting. My brothers/parents and I are only buying things for the kids, so that was only buying for two kids (EASY!). We're traveling a bit over the holiday but making sure we're saving time at the end of the holiday to just relax! Things are simplified this year just by starting much earlier!
