brynnfromtheblock Posted October 23, 2005 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?
RossMAN Posted October 23, 2005 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.
Gporter34 Posted October 23, 2005 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!!!!
outnumbered Posted October 23, 2005 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.
fairydustcrissy Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 I go home and wish I could take a nap. Hubby has to go to work when I get home, so its me and 3 kids!
lorelei Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Newbie here... Come home, take a nap, and start on the gift wrapping.
RossMAN Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Newbie here... Come home, take a nap, and start on the gift wrapping. please introduce yourself
elena_398 Posted October 23, 2005 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
StephanieD Posted October 23, 2005 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.
oldandintheway Posted October 23, 2005 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.
cami_reardon Posted October 23, 2005 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.
snakeswiff Posted October 23, 2005 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.
Guest all2tired Posted October 23, 2005 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.
bayhaysay Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 I pick up the kids, go deliver all the items other family members have had me pick up for them, hide all the gifts I bought, crash.
Tracy72 Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 I come home and put all hte gifts in behind the bed til I can get hubby and dds to start wrapping most of the gifts...lol...and them I just relax the rest of the day.
PaulaJC Posted October 23, 2005 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
Steakgoddess Posted October 23, 2005 Posted October 23, 2005 Go out to eat. Go home and decorate the tree.
copados1993 Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I go home and go through all the stuff. After that, I pass out on the couch and take a nap. That night , we usually watch Christmas Vacation. It's our big family thing to do here.
mama2ella Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 depends on what is going on...I would like to eat lunch out and come home to nap..However my dd may have other ideas :) If I get to nap then I will get up and we will start on our tree
Kandy Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I eat lunch then go home unload the car wrap everything, then hid them, then go pick up the kids from the grandparents and relax
erh12275 Posted October 28, 2005 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.
saraczek Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 When we are done the the morning shopping we got out to eat, then go home to unload and assess the "damage", then usually take a nap and then go out to do the not eary bird special shopping.
pumpkin255violet Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I usually stay out all day.. When I do get home I eat some leftover pie and collapse!LOL!!!!!
whafs8 Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 I normally have to spread them all over a room and make sure I did forget anything. Or Anyone.
kailatilear Posted October 28, 2005 Posted October 28, 2005 Last year I was out at 4 am and didn't get home until 12 am. I was out all day. Collapsed and then woke up the next morning and wrapped and decorated.
berry1014 Posted October 28, 2005 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 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.
