Christmas Presents?

Question

This is mostly for younger kids and for the people that are grown that still remember. Do you or did you ever sneak a peak at your presents at night while your parents were asleep? I know i did when i was younger but i want to know if any1 else does or did.

Answer 1

I never did.But my brother did surprisingly being the little goody goody he is.He opened his present last year when he was nine and opened up a pair of Jordan's and had the nerve to WEAR them outside to play.(Bad A s s)

Answer 2

Yes I did 1 year , and I'm sure after that my mom used a roll of tape on each gift because the next few years there was now way to peak without ripping the paper so I gave up !! lol

Answer 3

There was a year or two I was into doing that! I even got crafty and learned how to neatly cut the tape with a knife, easily pull out the gift to check it out, and then put it back together with another piece of tape of the top of the first so it looked like no one had opened it. My brother and I also learned where my mother had kept the stash of presents at one time as well, and I was able to check out what I was getting. Now that I'm older, I don't like to know, and I hate it when people tell me beforehand what I'm getting. Guess it changes as you get older.

Answer 4

Nope i never did cause i was always to scared my mom would wake up and catch me and now that im in my 30s and have kids of my own we only put one present a peice for the kids and tape it to where i know if they have got into them and then we put the rest out Christmas Eve,,, but i know every kid wants to do it cause i always wanted to but never did cause like i said i was to afraid that my mom would wake up and catch me,,, I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Answer 5

I was always curious what I'd get, but I held myself back! I love unwrapping a present and NOT knowing what is inside. Although my sister and I would always wake up at like 5 am, (it was a set alarm in our brains!) and go peek under the tree. Then we would wait for as long as we could (about 30 minutes) and go wake mom up. We would never open presents until she was awake. For one, I knew she'd want to be there. For two, I wanted her there. Three, it was like a taboo to do so.

Answer 6

Yes, once when I was little (but old enough to be home alone) I found a bag of hidden presents and I looked through it. I thought, I wonder who these are for? As it turned out, they were mine!
I stopped looking for hidden presents when I was young and lived at home - It really does ruin the joy of receiving (and giving for my folks!)

Answer 7

I never did, I always liked the surprise. I know my brother did every single year... he probably still does, and he's 21. He would say if I told my parents, he'd just say it was me. And, being the naive little sister, I still haven't said a word to this day. Haha.

Answer 8

yes!! my brother and i would sneak a peek we even went to the extent of unwrapping the gifts half-way, and putting them back together after we looked, and it just made it harder for us cause we knew what we were getting and we couldn't play with it yet... my mom found out what we were doing and they took all our gifts back to the store, and we got cole that year for christmas,

Answer 9

I did once when I was about 9, and it totally ruined the surprise, so after that I never went snooping again!

Answer 10

My mom knows me so good she wont put them under the tree intil christmas morning. lol. But if I could I would.
