You guys are all too funny!!!! You are like my SIL. He can't keep secrets, and goes nuts when gifts are under the tree. He has to shake everything. I used to knit him sweaters and put them in crazy sized boxes to fool him. Then I got wise and wouldn't put his gifts out till just before he arrived for the opening. He would be tortured!. Me....I find it fun to walk by the package and try to think what some "stranger" would buy me. I am so excited to see what is in there. Mine is heavier on one side then the other, so now there are LOTS of questions. But that is the fun of it. And another thing that is fun is the address of the gifter. Mine came from Michigan, and I am originally from Michigan, so that makes it EVEN MORE FUN. Maybe I knew her in my former Michigan life. More pieces to the puzzle......
