I remember when I was a kid and I would open my presents real carefully and peak inside to see what I got.

My friends parents use to put codes on the presents so you couldn\'t tell who each one is for.

It\'s been a long time since i\'ve rummaged around the house looking for hidden gifts.

I used to threaten one of Santa\'s elves into telling me what Santa is gonna leave for me under the tree. As usual, a lump of coal.

I used to go hunting through cupboards etc a few days before christmas to try and find some gifts. One year my brother and I both got a mountain bike each, to this day I have no idea where my parents hid them.

Obviously Santa brought them for you. Duh...

Haha... Me and my sister used to unwrap all the gifts, and then re-wrap them. We found out that really killed the excitement on Christmas morning so we stopped.

I unwrapped mine and rewrapped them.

I got lots of shiat!

Every year, the presents are in one of my parent\'s closets. Ah, I still remember back when I was 9 and found my PSX on the top shelf.

When I was smaller I\'d pick up the presents and shake them (if I could find them). I don\'t know how the hell you people would un- and rewrap the presents? I wouldn\'t be able to do that (without it being noticable at least

).

Slighty Off Topic: In every movie about getting presents in the US, the present is in, say, a box - and the box consists of two halves. So you can just open the top to see what\'s inside. Is this common practice?? Just seems a bit odd to me. Here presents are in, say, a box and paper is wrapped all around it. You can\'t open it easily and certainly not without \'destroying\' the paper.

Nope, presents here are the same as with you guys.

I had to shake the presents as well to find out. Of course, my parents also never learned to wrap DVDs and games in a bigger box until 2 years ago.
