I am not a peeker but I the kind of person who had to shake and feel the boxes!! I try to guess whats in them!! It is fun, I don't actually like to peek because it ruins X-Mas morning, feeling them keeps me curious until I get to open them!!

No, I'm not peeking! I did it once by accident and almost didn't get the present. But, my wonderful dad saved me from being in trouble with my mom, but she let me off! It was so fun, and it was one of my favorite presents that I had ever gotten.

Yes, like any other red-blooded American I do peek on my presents sometimes. Haven't done it yet this year, though.

I don't like to peek it ruins it on X-mas. I love the suspense and usually X-mas sneaks up on me and its X-mas morning before I know it so I really don't have a chance to peek.

Yeah, I used to when I was younger. I would shake it and feel around to try and figure out what it was, I would stare at the box to figure the shape of it and make a guess. A couple of times, I even slightly peeled the wrapper at the ends to look inside. I only did it a couple times and felt bad about it. I also rather be surprised about what I was getting, so I stopped.

I don't peek. I can handle the suspense of waiting, I mean, I am able to handle the wait of coasters being announced (barely). One of my friends on the other hand, could not handle waiting! (Note: his mom was not home at the time) He would get to the presents (his mom already wrapped them up so she would know if he got into them) and unwrap them very carefully. I witnessed this once. He would take a razor blade to the tape and carefully cut it and unfold the paper slowly. He would open the present and open the box it was in. He would proceed to get out his present and play around with it! He got a minidisc player when I was there, opened it, popped in the demo disc or whatever, put the batteries in, and started [i]listening to it[/i]. That is pretty extreme if you ask me!

I like the surprise that "Santa" brings me. I know for a fact that I will be getting a calendar in my stocking and at least a digitally remastered CD of "West Side Story"

I've only peeked once in my life, and it was one of my cousin's fault (yeah right...) It was 3 years ago. We opened my grandma's closet, and my little cousin's presents and my presents were there. I saw a few of my presents (which I knew about anyway) and my cousin's presents. I didn't really do it on purpose. We did this [COLOR=red]3[/COLOR] times in the next few days. We never got caught cuz we locked the door. I still go to my grandma's closet, but now only my little cousin's presents are there (and I tell him, and then on christmas morning he asks me how i knew that...) hehehe... (and i'm gonna do the same thing this sunday....)

I'm too old to peek anymore...besides, I agree it ruins the suprise. I don't know if my son peeks or not, but when he was younger, we'd keep his presents at grandma's house. Now, we always get him something he wants/asks for, and a suprise gift that we either store at grandma's or I hide it in the junk storage area of the basement. He doesn't look because he figures he's not getting anything else besides what he already asked for. One year we got him a new PC. His father got a new one a couple months earlier, so we moved the empty boxes from my husband's PC into the back of our storage area, and put the new PC boxes in my husband's office where the empty boxes sat. It sat there in the open for 2 weeks and my son had no idea. We set the PC up after he went to bed on xmas eve. The next morning after he opened all his other gifts, including some games that would not run on his old PC, we took him downstairs to see his new PC set up on a new computer table. He was speechless.

I live alone all the gifts in my house are for my family from me. I buy myself one gift for every three I buy for others, so I have a nice pile of gifts under the tree as weel. But, as you can figure out, I know what they are.

No, I don't peek. I suck at wrapping, so that eliminates that. I prefer the tactics of shaking and sizing the gifts!

I don't have to peek because I pick out what I want (and sometimes even buy). Just a warning to all my female counterparts, this too will happen to you when you get married.

Yeah, I peek! But I do it in a way that I don't find out exactly what it is, but I get a general idea. For example, if the package is wrapped loosely, you can peek into some of the wrapping folds and see part of the box. This year I can see the DVD logo on one of my boxes, so that means I got the DVD player I wanted!

I don't peek, in fact I just noticed today that there were like 30 presents unser the tree. I guess that I just try not to get myself all hyped up and fidgety and stuff for Christmas. I just ignore it pretty much till Christmas morning, but I do recognize everyone's stuff for some reason.

Not really a peeker... but I did get one of my X-Mas presents early, so I got to see one already in a sense. I got a new jacket that my mom decided to give me early when I decided I didn't want to wear my sweatshirt from a certain college in Palo Alto anymore.
