I am horrible about ruining surprises, even now, and when I was a kid my parents never got a Christmas gift I didn't see coming. I like being sneaky.

werd. i hate ruining my holiday whther it be christmas or my birthday. although lately i've not been surprised with my presents anyway because i've been involved by saying exactly what i want.

this year i hope to get a new 520W psu, some accessories for my Zen Vision, cash and a Konica Minolta DiMage A200. just ask whale about thje r0x factor of that camera. maybe i can finish selling my paintball stuff and my old nomad and go buy a hard drive, second DL dvd burner, and an ati radeon X1800XT.

I used to do that. It's great when you find out that they got you something you really don't like, it gives you time to prepare and deal with it like someone who isn't a total brat. However it sucks when it's something good and you ruin the surprise. Since I've matured I've really got past the point of caring enough to go looking.


EDIT: sporx definatly has some of the scariest sigs ever.

My parents gave out beat downs for the holidays, so I didn't go out seeking those.

I used to look for it because I usually only found a quarter of it all but now theres no point since I get whatever I ask for as long as the price is reasonable.

I usually get only one really special thing, and the rest is jut things that are usefull that are from wal-mart or somewhere, and Im a horrible actor, and my parents would hate it if they thought I wasnt pleased with the gift they gave me, so I just wait and see what they get me.

Its not like its a cure to cancer or aids, so it can wait.

I did one year, and found that they had gotten me a 13" tv. It was my first tv, so I was stoked. Now my TV is much bigger, and I stopped searching for gifts. As I got older, I stopped asking for things I would only use on xmas day, and started to shorten my lists to things I actually needed.

Normally I know the "big things" I'm getting before they even arrive at my house, but as for hiding other stuff, my parents are freaking ninjas. I hate surprises though.

I always know almost everything I'm getting.  Mainly because my parents never know what to get, so I have to tell them pretty much.  And 9/10 times my stuff comes from the web, and I found the passwords for all my family members accounts, so its really easy to know.

My parents never know what to get me so I end up telling them what to get me. Thus leads to no surprises.
