Lilbajanne and I were only able to send our gifts out yesterday (Monday) as we sent them from the US Virgin Islands, so they would be domestic mail.  However, we sent them Priority mail.  Hope the recipients get them soon and were not too impatient.
Haven't got mine as yet.

Who had the idea to send the packages out soooo early???    :urcrazy;

I can't stand having it sit there just looking at me!! It is torture to a girl who use to hunt out all presents.  :bow; :bow;

It will be a miracle if I last to Christmas.    :shy;

I almost got into mine last night so today I'm going to ask my husband to hide it.  If I search and actually find it, well then I might think I've earned it.  Oh drat.

I am wondering the same thing. I don't remember getting the box this early last year. I put it on a shelf and have tried to tell myself that it will keep til Christmas.
This is reminding me of the Seinfeld episode where "the four main characters devise a contest to see who can go the longest without pleasuring him/herself."

:oops;     :shy;


I opened just the big box that it came in!  And saw pretty blue bubble wrap which I love and will use in some gifts that I need to send in the mail!  Thank you Twirl-Girl!  AND I saw some pretty Christmas confetti.  There is a hanger?  That is all I saw.   :bandance;   :rudolph;    :santahat;


There are some gifts wrapped and I'll save those for Christmas I hope!!!

Wattle, apparently your Secret Santa knew you had a box opening problem and tried to keep you from spoiling the surprise.     :rofl;   Now, take a deep breath and walk slowly away from the presents.    :rofl;

Hey! Yeah you! Walk away from that box of presents!   No peaking at any of them! Yes! I mean you there with the gleam in your eye. No lookie, no touchie!

Wait a minute, What do you mean I should talk?  My box is still closed and sealed.  What do you mean put that knife down.  Do not approach my box?

I've put my box off to the side, intact in the original wrapping.  I manage to put it out of sight, so out of mind.  And then I come here and y'all are talking about peeking.  Knock it off! :rofl;

I have not touched mine!!!  It is sitting on my coffee table right in front of me.  I haven't even taken the outside paper off because I am afraid it is not wrapped inside!!  When I get my tree up I will put it underneath my tree. I have always been like that not wanting to open gifts until Christmas morning!!  Hubby never has to hide anything.  I don't even go looking!!  I know some of you want to  :Kit n Stik; me.
