I usually wait until most of the shopping is done then I wrap everything in one day.

That makes me feel so much better to know someone else is wrapping this early!

DH and I love to have a "wrapping party" right before Christmas. As soon as DD is asleep we make some hot cocoa, turn on the christmas music and wrap away!! We like our little bit of holiday time together. (Plus, I've been known to change my mind about something I bought at the last minute, can't return it if it's already wrapped )

I usually don't start wrapping presents until the week before Christmas. I like to take one weekend afternoon, watch a couple holiday movies and then wrap my presents.

As for Christmas Cards, I actually started making them out this past weekend.

I haven't even started shopping yet this year, but I like to do a little wrapping as we go. We also have some gorgeous dark green boxes with red ribbon that we recycle year after year to cut down on waste.

I am just getting started with my shopping which is really late for me as I am normally done with everything before Thanksgiving. I did buy wrapping paper and ribbon last week and I have plenty of boxes and gift bags so I am ready to wrap - I just have to buy the presents!
