brynnfromtheblock Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 When you come home do you pass out worn from all the shopping? Or do you do anything special? My husband cooks while I'm out, we make Turkey because we spend Thanksgiving at a family members house and never have leftovers. Then we have a nice dinner and decorate the tree at nighttime. What do you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMAN Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Change into comfy clothes, take a refreshing shower if necessary and relax. Then I'd get online and start chatting with Brad about BF 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gporter34 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Same here, I will come home, wrap gifts, take a shower, put on jammies, and fall out on the couch probably watching Christmas movies. CHRISTMAS VACATION!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outnumbered Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Last year I was greeted at the door by a dh saying "Finally! What took you so long?" ...at 8 am. LOL. Then *he* went back to bed and watched tv while I made pancakes for everyone. I did get an afternoon nap later though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elena_398 Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I come home, put all the gifts away in the garage so no little one could peek. Changed into comfy clothes (sweats and sweatshirt) and make breakfast for the family. Then after telling my husband BF stories, I head off for a nap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieD Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I usually come home wired after Black Friday...I typically finish whatever decorating needs to be done and then I may watch a few Christmas movies and wrap some gifts. I love Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldandintheway Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 We normally go out for lunch. Then come home and take a nap. Then we go back out shopping. I'm addicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cami_reardon Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 You mean we're supposed to get home before the stores close?? Really though, the last couple of years we went home and had cold turkey sandwiches then passed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakeswiff Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 When hubby and I go together, we go out to breakfast when we are done. Last year I went alone and came home wrapped everything,probably what will happen this year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest all2tired Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 I come home, check the house to see if the rugrats are awake yet. If they are, everything stays in my car until I can sneak it all in. If they are still asleep, then I quickly put everything in the attic. They can't reach the pulldown string for the attic and they started finding the gifts I purchased earlier that were hidden in the basement so now everything is in the attic.

PaulaJC Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Usually after I get home, I'm running around the house trying to find a place to hide everything. Can't keep it in the trunk...Kids are too smart for that. No time to wrap until they are back to school. Then I can get my nap in! Paula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erh12275 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 In years past we have went out to eat..and some years i even went back to bed. But this year we are going to spend most of the day shopping and then go see a movie or 2 after. We don't get to go out w/ out the kids very often so we are planning on taking advantage.

berry1014 Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Depending on time I get home, sometime I can sneak in a nap. We order dinner, since we got MIL for T-day there are no left overs. Afetr dinner, we put up the tree and start decorating until to I am to tired to continue. Then I will crash and watch some Christmas shows.

best4less Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I start wrapping! Of course last year after a full day of shopping my husband decided we should start decorating the outside of the house with all the Christmas lights. I was ZONKED after that.
