it

all day it's been staring at me.

just me and it—whatever it is...


all alone with a pretty package and no one around.

temptation has taken hold of me.

i want want want want want to open it!!

but there's no peeking, because under a layer of pretty Christmas paper, it is hidden in a padded envelope, or so i've been told.

oh the tease that my husband wrapped it and left it out in plain sight.


argh!

how many more days do i have to wait?!

ERIN!!!!! You better not peek!!! Even if Grandma used to do it, you can be the bigger person and set a good example for your kids! :)

I'm gettin' nothin' for Christmas, so I don't have to worry about the temptations! :)

That would be tough for me too! Have you shook it? Rattled it? What noises does it make? How much does it weigh? Yep, these are the things I'd be doing with the mystery gift! Any idea what it might be? :)

oh what a tease!!! that is insane... I would go crazy! once greg put a round thing wrapped under the tree and i felt it/shook it/examined it and it definitely was not what I thought it was!

as a sidenote, i am totally impressed with the number of gifts wrapped under your tree. I have... um... zero. We are so much more behind than usual!

you know if you use a blow dryer on the tape you can just peel the tape right off and put it back on when you're done...
just saying

What do I love most? That he's already shopped for you? That he wrapped it himself? That he trusts you enough to put it under the tree? Or that he labeled it to:wife/from:husband??? :)
