Did you look for your Chrissy presents when you were a kid?
I mean did you search for them before the Big Day?
I did. I'd look in all the standard places now and then like under my folks' bed and in their wardrobe!
Mum got wind of my subterfuge and hid my stuff in less obvious places.
I always though the best place to have hidden prezzies would have been to wrap them and put them under the tree weeks before but temptation would no doubt have got the better of me. I would have shaken and shook and maybe unwrapped!
A pointless act really. The presents were mine anyway. Why spoil the surprise?
Did you engage in gift jitsu like this?
Yes and then one year did I actually find them. Hidden in the suitcases on top of my parents wardrobe. The excitement of finding them was swiftly overtaken by the realization that there would be no surprises on Christmas morning. Never did it again.
ReplyDeleteYep, it sort of defeated the object Yorkie I agree. In parts of Europe prezzie peekers would have been visited by Krampus, the naughty list monster!
