Oh Celeste...I used to do the same...my excuse is that as a child, my parents never wrapped the few presents we got...(There was six of us) we just had little piles lined along the piano, and sometimes there would be a bike or train set on the floor.. So when I was given parcels and after I had my kids, when friends and family brought xmas pressies around, I used to peep in them all too :roll: BUT I can leave them now tee hee!!
