How come most of you guys already know what you're getting? Your supposed to wait for Christmas you know. The anticipation and shaking the boxes is part of the fun for me. I like to watch family trying to guess my presents for them too.
I am hoping for a dremel but I really don't have a clue. I've been shaking one box that might be it but I can't be sure. It sounds like there might be some small parts inside.
Next to the Visa card, the Dremel is a must for any hobbyist IMO... and many other's opinion.
I don't even touch my presents under the tree until Christmas. I like the surprise. I have a friend that peeks at all of his gifts and looks throughout the house for the rest... he's 34. His wife sends gifts to my house when she doesn't want him to find them.
One year I was wrapping my wife's presents and my wife saw me put them under the tree.
"Ohh.... what'd you get me?"
"I got you that snowboarding jacket, pants and gloves you asked for."
"Awww - you ruined the surprise, why'd you tell me?"
"...because you asked."
Since then she hasn't asked me that question.
EDIT: By the way I'm thankful for every year for any presents. Except one year, I think it was 1989. That year I managed to get three tie racks and about twenty ties. That year stunk. I was young and didn't even like ties. Actually it may have been 87, the same year I got luggage for high school graduation.
Haha - any piano key ties perchance?
