Be honest. Have you shaken your gifts under the tree?

I think I got a bottle of Kentucky bourbon! I did some shaking and squeezing. . Bottle feels thinner than what I remember of a Pappys bottle. I’m thinking some smaller label. Hehe.

The rest of the boxes, are pretty silent. Perplexing.

I can’t help myself.. super curious.

Well that would mean I’m shaking the boxes that I bought for my kids, so no. My wife and I don’t really do gifts.

Yup... I can usually guess correctly... Though I do a lot of spying pre holiday... Sometimes my wife really surprises me...

Every year, every time. I wait until my wife is looking right at me. Mostly it's because she told me not to.

Haha.

My wife had me buy mysel a rifle. She still wants me to wrap it and put it under the tree. I’m going to carefully wrap it up so it looks like a paper wrapped rifle. I’m talking a big game, but I bet it won’t be easy.

I still like a surprise now that I am older, although when young, I would peek.

Bet you don't like surprises at the doctor's office.

My wife bought me a Fox Dropper post for my Mountainbike... I had to sweet talk her into not wrapping it and letting me use it the past 3 weeks.

We are just getting our tree up. Only thing to shake now is electrical cords!

Nope. I literally have no idea if there is anything under the tree for me.
