When I was 10, I couldn't wait til Christmas day. One day when no one was home, I just got home from school and I knew no one would be home for two hours, so I decided to peek at some of my gifts. I got the tape ready so I could re-wrap them quick! I checked three gifts and was so excited at what I had. Bad girl! :lol:

Since i didnt believe in Santa and knew where my presents came from since I was about 3, I would play detective.... by the weight , shape , rattling the box, I was right 90% of the time....I got so good my parents started DOUBLE wrapping everything in new boxes and adding stones or w/e for extra weight, didnt work though! (They only stopped when i outgrew the detective thing)

I could write a 'How To' book. I think the better question is Who hasn't peeked? :lol:

You both have me :rofl:


Naughty, naughty children...or do you still peek? :eek: :lol:

:yeahthat I've peeked a couple of times, I admit it. :blush: :rofl:

As i said, ive outgrown it! :D

Sure, Mikey, and Michael Jackson has had absolutely no work done. :rolleyes: :joke: :rofl:

One year, my brother and I teamed up to go look for our presents. Didn't work, b/c we never found anything. LOL I think our parents used to store them at our grandparents' house. We sort of gave up after that.

I did used to do the guess by size thing, though, till my mom started putting everything into one big box.

^ Wow, Kristen, your folks really were a step ahead of you!! :rofl:

I can honestly say that I have never peeked or opened any of my Christmas gifts growing up. I love being surprised when opening presents, plus I was just plain afraid that my parents would find out if I did open them.

:lol: I don't think I've ever peaked before. Shaked, rattled, the whole nine yards, but I am the worst person ever at guessing that stuff. I like being surprised too, so that helps.

No my parents kept all our presents at our grandparents house, they would get them all on christmas eve night. Although i have peeked at birthday presents :lol:

Haha, I know! I would've done OK w/ the guessing by size, except I could never seem to keep my mouth shut. I'd be like, "I know that's a DVD!" So my mom finally got tired of it and started putting all my DVD's, CD's, books, etc. into a big box so I can't guess. It annoys me, too, b/c we take turns opening presents, and the big box counts as a turn, so I have to wait to open anything inside the box!

On the advice of my counsel, I'm going to say no.

But if you don't want people peeking, don't put presents in those fun little gift bags where someone could easily peek by simply lifting the wad of decorative tissue covering the gift inside.

I'm just saying...

;)

I didn't really peek that much.

Alright alright... I did. Occasionally. ;)

Once. I poked a little hole in a gift, and saw markers, so I knew I was getting a marker board. Felt pretty guilty right after, so I never had the urge to do it since.

I have no idea what the hell my parents were thinking, but one year they had me help them carry in stuff they bought when the went shopping. One of the bags I carried in had like 2 or 3 playstation games in plain view. I didn't say anything to them though. But seriously, what the hell were they thinking?

Hahaha, yeah, my brothers and I were such snoops...we'd shake the box and try and guess what we'd gotten, and if that didn't work, we'd peel back the tape a bit!

After a while, my parents set traps to try and prevent us from snooping :lol:

nope, ive been tempted.

Never peeked but I have picked up a box or two trying to guess what was inside. My neice & nephew next door, used to unwrap everything & then tape it back up. I've had to run tape over there right before their mom got home so they wouldn't get in trouble. (lol!)

They weren't thinking, that's for sure. :lol:

Gift bags were meant for birthday parties, not CHRISTMAS.:crazy: When I use those gift bags, I tape the top together. ;) If someone snoops, the bag will rip.
