    Moddy is the ant-Santa.

    Probably not kind to elves, either.

    This thread is making my eyes hurt. Posts showing up twice. Some that are suddenly gone. WTF?

    Oh, your post was posted twice. I took down my comment, though. :)

    It's like 11 a.m. You people need to lay off the sauce.

    Never really had to snoop — all the presents were sitting out in the open in grandma's room. All you had to do was walk in and rummage through the pile. I never did, maybe because there just wasn't any challenge to it.

    I snooped one time and found my parents had bought me a television for my room. Good find, but it was a real bummer on Christmas morning, as it was my only big gift, and I already knew the surprise. MrsExpendable's family is the type that will open everything on Christmas Eve, while I could let the presents sit under the tree until the needles fall off if they dared me.

    I snooped once.
    My mom had gotten me the the X-Wing Fighter AND the Tie Fighter.
    I told my sister.
    My sister told my mom.
    My mom took the presents back.
    I was 8. That Christmas sucked.

    ALWAYS in the trunk of the '65 Catalina and my brothers and I knew exactly where the spare key could be found.

    I like the surprise.

    Back when I was married, I used to hide gifts in the one place I know she would never look. The oven.
