My oldest and I went out to do a little x mas shopping and my boys 15 & 11 decided to investigate.My daughter knew because they moved a candle in her room and put one of the gifts back the wrong way. (They forgot about her ocd traits) I'm so glad that everything was already wrapped! Except for thier new comforters.Why do they want to ruin the surprise??? :angry:

kids can't help it

the suspense is just too much for em

I peeked when I was a kid and my parents got mad and took all the presents I saw back and my Christmas was ruined. I never peeked again

my sister used to do the same thing and then tell us what we were getting for Christmas.My parents hid a stereo at the next door neighbors and when they snuck it in Christmas night she was down there peeking and ruined the surprise.I hate people who shake gifts too.Some people just can't handle the suspense.
Me,I love it.
Anyway the boys probally wanted to see how many gifts they got lol

I started wraping gifts by number, so no one knew what belonged to who. then I kept the list with me.

I couldn't help it and RUINED a great Christmas gift surprise one year. I told my kids that story when they were little and now they are like the present nazi's...no touching, no shaking, no peeking, no rearranging the gifts under the tree and NO opening anything early for Christmas, birthday or any other time! I created MONSTERS! Gotta love it, though!

Thats a good idea! Especially seeing thier stupid over priced video games are all the sme size! They won't know whose is whose! Maybe next year if I remember...too late this year. grumble

Ty for the idea!

Yeah, that IS a clever idea. I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever find myself in the position of buying gifts for a large amount of people again.

My daughter used to shake her presents, so one year I put broken glass in several of them, she thought she had broken something laugh.

I never had that problem againbigsmile

Thats another good idea! I used to take the gifts to someone elses house until christmas..but my kids are teens and tweens now. I thought I could trust them for a couple hours. Guess not.
