I'm just curious to know if I'm not the only one here who knows what he's getting ahead of time.

1. Very wrong.
We always say, if you find out what it is, it ain't yours!

:P

2. My parents needed me to be at the store when they bought it!
What I'm getting is XM radio and they needed me to be at the store when they bought it so they made sure they were getting me the right radio.

So is there an exception to that rule?

4. Is it wrong to buy and use your Christmas presents early then?
In that case we've been guilty of that each year. My wife and I will splurge a bit during our Christmas shopping and we'd give them to each other beforehand. Somethings however are non-obvious Christmas gifts (like a new TV for the bedroom - something we all benefit from) - I could have wrapped it up, stuffed it under the tree, and made everyone wait... but I figured out they could use it before the 'big day'.

Mark.

5. Nope. I'm getting nothing anyway.
Nor am I giving anything. Except for some cash to my 2 job working- full time attending Syracuse U daughter. I've made it very clear that NO one is to give me anything. (I AM eying my grocery store's frozen "Fettuccine Bistro" :9) but shhhh, but Nahhh... seriously, all I want is for daughter to come HOME!!!! :-)

I get 3 days and 2 nights with her after Christmas. Yah! We're going to have a great couple of meals and smother her w/kisses.
