Do you "sneak" and find out what you're getting for xmas???

nope.

my parents usually go straight down the list with some suprises thrown in.

this year, I asked everyone I know to buy me cardboard boxes and moving supplies... I hope people took me seriously. lol. I really need the stuff 🙁
 
I don't peek, never did (thought it made it boring) but this year I know the main 2 gifts I'm getting, mainly b/c I bought them myself

Silver slim PS2 (sold my old one to buy this)
Guitar Hero w/ guitar 🙂

Other little things I'll get but those are the only ones I care about
 
I did this when I was...maybe 11. I realize there was no point, and stopped. But X-mas when you're a child is so crazy exciting.
 
My kids learned early about peeking into X-mas presents...if they got caught...the present(s) went back...same thing that happened to me as a kid...I only did it once...(get caught that is!) My wife used to be worse than the kids, and she KNEW I couldn't take her gifts back...(that would cost me FAR too much!) but I occasionally would re-wrap things into different boxes...just to confuse the issue.

I have a pretty good idea what I'm getting from hubby (cause I made him a wish list this year) but I don't sneak. I do however know what I'm getting from my mom cause I was working in the store when she was shopping and she asked which books it was I wanted (the Nora Roberts Circle Trilogy).

Wait you had a wish list?

I need to check that out.

ANd I have no idea what I am getting unlike a few years ago when my 6 year old (at the time) felt it important to tell me everything they had bought for me 🙂
