I use to, but know I like it be more of a surprise...but I sorta accidentally found an xmas present, it was in the trunk of my dads car, and I was putting my hockey bag into the bag, and I was like "uhhh dad..." and it was the northface fleece that I wanted:)

For the past few years, I've always known pretty much everything that I'm getting, because mom will ask me what I want and tell me that she'll get it later or get dad to get it. And I just ordered some GC buttons and a hoodie for Christmas over the internet a few weeks ago. I found em last week under my moms bed...anyways. I always look. It's fun.

I'd rather be surprised but I can't help but snooping around a few days before Christmas when all the presents are wrapped and under the tree.

I'd rather be surprised.

Many, many years ago, when I was a wee child, I did snoop and find out what I was getting. Knowing what the gift was took some of the fun out of Christmas gift opening. Aaaaaaaallllllll these years later I still remember being a little let down and disappointed.

present: :tree: :banana:

Btw, Dana, how much coal do you expect to get in your stocking this year??:rotflmao: :stocking: :santa2: present:

I hardly ever make a list because my mother thinks I ask for the most obscure stuff in the world and bitches at me about it...So I don't even ask, I just have 'em guess. Okay, I DO at least ask for
one thing that's doable...:rolleyes:

I like to be surprised but we always put the wrapped presents under the tree b4 christmas and i always shake mine and open the wrapping paper a lil to get a hint what it is. Last year my mom got me this fancy shirt and she put it in a bag thing under the tree and she didnt seal the top all the way so i kept lookin at it and 1 time i pulled like half the thing out so it wasnt really a surprise.

Anyways.... to answer the question, I honestly know what I'm gonna get, but I still like to look anyways. It's just fun.

Sad thing is, I hardly ever find them. Damnit. She must hide them at someone else's house

You're not the only one. But I don't care about presents. I just like the time of the year and Christmas shows on TV and a tree up with lights. Thats basically a present for me. Besides there is only one thing I want but I'll never get it and it's not a material thing.

Yeah, I take a peek when the presents are out in the open. I take my fingernails and kind of tear open a little hole through the wrapping paper. I see a bit of the present, but it isn't a disappointment when I actually open the present because I couldn't see the whole thing. I tell mom and dad that the cats tried to claw the paper.

I always know what mine are cause my dad gives both me and my sister 500$ each to get whatever we want

I used to "accidently" fall on my presents, then they'd rip open a little bit. LOL Other times I used to just tear off a little bit of the paper. I had no life. LOL

Now, I want to be surprised, but my parents ask me what I want and I end up going shopping with them anyways, so there's no point in peeking, cuz I already know what I got.

I got a present several years ago from "SATAN Claus.":eek: :lol:

Last year at work during a Christmas gift exchange, one co-worker who had chosen my name simply came up and shoved a $5 bill in my hand. "Merry Christmas." Nice gift, I like money, but it would have been nice to have a LITTLE special thought behind it like a card or something to put it in....:rolleyes:

I like to be suprised. But sometimes I snoop and see if I can any presents of mine.
