I got a package from a cowgirl today. I've placed it under my virtual tree. A bit shy about opening it. May contain the ghost of Christmas past, or payback.

My gift(s) arrived yesterday! It was not wrapped inside the package, so I know what I got, and from whom. What do I do? Post pics now, and brag about my awesome SS, or wait until some date that I missed by not reading the rules?

Ha! The only payback you would deserve is an equally awesome present in return. You should open it now, unless you're determined to wait until Christmas day for some reason.

We did once float the idea of Dwellars opening all presents together, but I can't remember it getting past the white paper stage.

I am aware of formal dining rules, but in my family we urge people to start eating as soon as their meal is on the table.
So with that in mind I think everyone should just dig in. Open your prizes and enjoy when it suits you best.

When I was a kid, I once found the presents from Santa hidden in the closet. Being a kid and not possessed of superhuman restraint and self-control, I secretly opened them, celebrated in the privacy of the closet, alone, and found only one surprise on christmas morning: profound disappointment. Since then, I have been cured.

I will wait.

Man, I gotta get moving. I've attempted a couple of handmade gifts, but they suck. I'm going to have to make a special errand of this on Sunday if I have any hope of mine getting there on time.
