|  |     OK, seeing as I started the topic, I'll go first.
    
    
    I like to know if someone has purchased a gift, but I'll leave well alone 
    until the proper day arrives....but....
    
    There's usually a but! 
    
    I like to play the 'tell me, no! don't tell me!' game sometimes, too. 
    Just to build the excitement.
    
    and I'm a teaser when it comes to opening them...slowly unpeeling the
    wrapper to reveal the hidden delights!

|  |     If I am given a pressie a few days before Xmas, I HAVE to have a feel,
    try & guess what's in it, I won't open it though.. but if I guess what
    it is BEFORE I open it I then get disappointed that I've spoilt the
    surprise...
    
    No pleasing SOME people...

    If I know that someone has purchased a gift for me then I start the
    inquisition... so the next time around I'm the last to know... *8))))
    That way its more of a surprise... *8)))
    
    And as far as opening gifts is concerned I'm very patient with the
    covering... *8))))

|  |     There's a great ad being shown in the states right now with a bunch of
    wrapped gifts of obvious shape. The final kicker is a dog with a
    wagging tail.
    
    I usually guess correctly which ticks my family off since they try to
    surprise me. I've taken to not guessing out loud 8^)

|  |     I wait because I love the anticipation of guessing what's in the
    package. Opening it, could make me the olympic champion of  tearing up
    the paper.

hehehehe... Yeah, I have a 2" wide tape gun... I've been known to "plastic
coat" some presents. Then there's the year I saved every box I could find (I
was young) and fit them all inside one another with a penny in a ring box
inside the inner most one. My mother must have been at it for 20-30 minutes. I
had wrapped some of the inner ones as well. It had a pretty good weight
considering it was just a penny. Yes, my sense of humor isn't a NEW thing 8^)

    I like to tease. Showing the package, not allowing to touch and make
    allusion on what it could possible be.

|  | I don't snoop around to try to find my presents...I like to be surprised!
Unfortunately Steve can't keep him mouth shut, hence I know most of my Christmas
presents already!  I like to unwrap my presents slowly too...first take off
the bow and decide where to stick it (usually on my chest), the ribbons go round
my neck...by the time I get done unwrapping my gifts, *I* look like a wrapped 
present!
