Understanding it isn't the problem, it's the fact it could make you ill

I found the blokes jigging about rather amusing. I think it's just down to the tempo, head nodding and silly grins, but it reminded me of Carlton Banks.

My kid (who isn't quite 3 yet) is under the tree arranging presents, giving the odd shake, saying "this is lego, this is a DVD....".

^^^Which is why there were never any presents under our tree until Xmas day. Even pressies our friends had given us were only put under the tree on Xmas Eve just before we went to bed.

Have you people never heard of a box in a box full of Styrofoam chips or bubble wrap or screwed up newspapers, just to mess with people like... well, people like you!  Sent from my mobile which always adds a sig when I'm using Tapatalk 2

Snap. My current wife is constantly horrified when I guess what the present is right before I open it. She's too predictable.

I have wrapped empty boxes under my artificial tree, as it hides the stand.

I tried to guess a present from my brother.
I didn't in the end predict that it was a CD with a potato sellotaped to it.

My family do not do presents. Invariably we would get things that we do not want or need, but it also means that we do not have to get presents for each other as well. We do all have a good get together.

We wrapped up a Black & Decker drill box with some kitchen weights taped to the inside one year. He was not impressed. He doesn't do DIY. (I know the 'do' is duplicated, but I needed something to put the emphasis on)
