3 Weekend Christmas Goals…

Happy Monday! Can you believe Christmas is almost here? This month seems to be going by so fast and I’m running out of time to get everything accomplished. We had three goals for this weekend: 1. wrap all the presents, 2. do some Christmas baking, and 3. finish shopping for gifts.

Goal #1 accomplished! I love wrapping presents. We cut back on gifts big time this year so it was fairly easy!
Goal #2? Big fat fail. I didn’t bake a single thing. I didn’t even buy ingredients to make anything. But that doesn’t mean we didn’t enjoy some yummy cookies, courtesy of Oreo. 
And goal #3? I went shopping with my mom….but didn’t buy any gifts. Fail. I did manage to buy a cute hat for myself though….does that count?
Have you finished your Christmas shopping and wrapping? What about baking? Please tell me I’m not the only one behind this year!

    I'm unusually ahead this year and that makes me think something is wrong with me haha. I'm typically scrambling down the last minute. I do have some DIY gifts to finish up but that's about it.

    Oh and a hat for yourself totally counts 🙂

    I've been terrible about getting Christmas stuff done this year. I still need to make 3 Christmas gifts this week.

    We're not doing much for Christmas this year, but I want to pick up some little gifts for family and I haven't even started yet. I also haven't baked a thing. Wednesday is my only day off so I guess I'll be going to the mall to do some shopping

    hey wrapping is done! so that's a great start 🙂 and not baking is probably for the best. . i mean baking = lots of eating 🙂

    I'm done shopping but haven't started wrapping. I'll have to wait until i go up to Chattanooga to get my sister to help me. She always enjoys that part so much.
