The spreadsheet of gifts has already started on this end. I need to get up to three gifts for each person (One from wife and I, then 1-2 from the kids). There are two Christmas parties this year, and the in-law side is going to be so big this year, the adults are doing a secret santa to reduce the gift load at least amongst ourselves.
That leaves me buying 25-35ish gifts just for the extended family. Not including the four of us. Experience has taught me that leaving the shopping to the last week before Christmas is a terrible plan. Oh! And the final week of November has a kids' birthday, Sister's birthday, Niece's birthday, Father-in-law's birthday and our Wedding Anniversary. Gotta get through all that before I really start stressing about Christmas.
far out that is... yeah no way I'd be into that.
