I love the gifts my in-laws bring. Things like new dish towels and huge packages of toilet paper. A bag of nuts, and a box of staple items getting old sitting in their pantry. I love these gifts - I look forward to them all year.
These are not our official 'Christmas gifts', but just some glad to see you gifts. Our Christmas gifts are under the tree. Well, our big gift is the big black hole in our living room, otherwise known as our new television. But there is also a gift under the tree from the in-laws.
Mine just happened to have a little hole in the wrapping paper.
Now maybe it was from traveling across the country or maybe it was from the cats and dogs crawling over it. Whatever the reason, the temptation proved to be too much and I opened it.
Don't judge, I re-wrapped it of course...
In all honesty, even if the gift wasn't torn a bit, I may have unwrapped it anyway. It's something I've just always done.
I peek at gifts.
There. It's out.

Son of a nut cracker!!! That puts you on the naught list!! We watched Elf last night so I'm chock full of quotes for the next 24 hours. Did you like the gift?
Dang it, I hate typos in my comments. I meant to say naughty list. I know you probably figured that out but I felt compelled. Now I have to go deal with a stupid cat that pee'd on Caitlin's floor!!!! Grrr!!!
Aw, Kelly, stop being such (whisper) 'an angry elf'.
So what did you get?
you bad, bad girl. i'm telling.
I've always sneak a look at my gifts also!! I don't do this so much anymore (unless I just can't stand it), but boy when I was younger I used to always find my mom's stash!
i do too!!!! as i kid a would peel the tape carefully and then take another piece of tape the same size and 'opaqueness'(or clearness) and put it over where the old peice was. no one ever knew. my little secret ;)
Well, since you asked...
I got a very beautiful pair of turquoise gloves and a red sweater. Not exactly sure what the sweater looks like because I didn't take it out and inspect it.
I do have standards, you know.
Lo, the tape thing I dig! My method is to carefully slice the tape on the seam with a sharp knife, thereby not tearing any of the paper which would clearly give me away. Then, I would use the same method you described (same opaqueness of tape, same width, etc.)to cover my tracks.
