Oh I may wait till Christmas, I used to be the worst I would unwrap the stuff from my Hubby years ago and then re wrap it
so he wouldn't know, then one year he wrapped up 6 quarts of oil and an oil filter
That kinda broke me

Patience isnt one of my virtues either so if I had my way I would tear into it as soon as it arrived. Unfortunatly Chris always has other ideas and hides it from me so I cant open it

Hey good idea - I'll send my SS a case of Coors! Or do you want Coors Light?

Oh that makes me want some rum truffles right this very instant!



I will most likely open mine as soon as it gets here. Last year everyone was opening theirs up an it was just too exciting that way!

The kids have done their shopping -- well, mostly, anyway -- they might think of something else. I have one thing and some ideas, and plenty of time, actually.

I'll be aiming for arrival around 15 December, so that if my SS can manage to hold out, it won't be an excruciatingly long time; and if she can't, it won't be too terribly early either.

As for when mine arrives, I will probably open the outer wrap right away, but hold off on the inner wrap until a couple of days before Christmas. I'm not bad at waiting.

I have purchased the items I need for my SS this week-then I found some stuff I had picked up this summer so I will have to determine what gets sent this year!! But not to say I'll actually done with all the gift. I was thinking of mailing mine out early December. As for when I get mine SS gift depends if there is instructions on the box or not!!! Last yr mine was from over the pond and I got it on New Yrs Eve so I opened right away!!!

Mine lives in the states so I will wait to ship it off the first week in dec.I thought I was done shopping but still have a idea or two I want to add. I'll probably wait about a hour after I get mine then I won't be able to contain myself and will open it.

I'm wondering about this too. I know with some SS groups, they send little things up till closer to December and then send the main thing so it arrives closer to the big day! I like this way and am thinking of doing it for my SS. I want to see what everyone else is doing though.

well I just finished buying for my SS, now I have to send it off overseas! I'm actually terrible at sending things in time- my poor wee nephews in NZ always have to wait till New Years to get their gift from their Canadian auntie.
