Trying to catch up, took sooo loong as I had a few days to catch up on. Nice caroling Dreamer, you sure keep the naughty corner room a great place to hang out and wait.
I have a few ideas to share.
First leprachauns, my grandfather was from Ireland & he would always tell us how mischievous they were, and they are around 365 not just St. Pat's I have no doubt they would sneak over to Sharon's house and open her package just to get her in trouble while they hang out in the tree and laugh.
Nancia, you method does sound like a lot of fun, but the way to do it--if you don't want the ss police on to you, open very carefully, check out packages, open only as much as needed to identify a wrapped pressie. It you have to take the paper off, keep it next to each item. then you can re-wrap and close up and no one knows you peeked.
And speaking of the SS police I suspect Terri may have hired several dh's as ss police until 12-9.
Of course no one would ever hold a grandbaby responsible for opening a package. And they are soo cute, it is easy to see how one might be so distracted they would *accidently* set their package near the darlings.
I would think if reveal time ends up being while someone is at work they should be within the spirit of the day to open before work, or any time after midnight on the 9th. It should be an automatic permission.
uh oh I better get to bed before one of the elves sees I'm up this late and on the puter.
