This is once again making me mad that we can't do anything "after the kids go to bed" because K goes to bed too late. Post-bedtime should be my family hot chocolate/carols/tree/wrapping time!!
I come up with the gift ideas, buy the gifts, wrap the gifts. Half the time, my H is just as surprised by what's inside a box as the recipient is. I also do all the decorating, any cooking, etc. I bring Christmas.
It's awesome to do it all alone.....
Yup this.
This is me too. I'm even buying a few presents for me and wrapping them so G won't ask if I'm on Santa's bad list.
I do almost all present wrapping. A few years I've essentially told DH, "You're helping me wrap presents," on Christmas Eve.
Growing up, my mom wrapped all the presents--my dad didn't even wrap hers. He got me or my sister to do it, and let me tell you, there's nothing more scarring than wrapping the lingerie your father is giving your mother.
This was my dad too. He even took me to the mall to pick out a gift for me from him then make me wrap it myself.
My husband does most of the wrapping. He does his own family (which is a bulk of our presents) but will do most of the kids, too.
He claims he likes to have presents under the tree for a long time. I grew up with them appearing the day before Xmas eve, so I don't really feel the urge to wrap them so early.
It's mostly me... H does some of them, but not really ;-) Tonight, Max helped me! It was actually amazing to be able to wrap with him around this year w/o total destruction of wrapping supplies :-)

I wrap them all. We use our guest bedroom as Santa's workshop and I usually keep gifts and all wrapping supplies in there. I play a little Chrisrmas music on iTunes and try to enjoy it.

H falls asleep with C pretty much every single night trying to keep her in bed. It's a battle until 9 or 10pm. I never get to spend any time with him
does she still nap? This was about the point we switched J to no naps since the bedtime battle was becoming too hard and he was falling asleep too late for us to have any quality of life in the evening. The first week or so was rough, but then he transitioned and sleeps 7:30-7 now with much less fight to get down at night. I actually look forward to the day that no one naps now so that we can be out and about all day and not have to plan around them anymore.
