When you were a kid, did you go looking for your Christmas presents?

Yes, and then my brother and I found the biggest surprise gift of all, my dads Playboy stash. That was a great Christmas.

The KB toys store in the Acadiana Mall.

Found the Easter candy in my mom's closet and realized it was a farce.

Yep, had an attic with 2 doors and there wasnt an easy way to get to the other side without crawling over insulation and joists and vents, it wasnt intended to be connected.

My parents put the presents behind one of the doors locked and never locked the other. I dont know how many times I thought i was falling through the ceiling going to check out my toys. Never got caught.

Yep, Christmas 1983(the G.I. Joe year). My dad hid everything in the closet of the guest bedroom and I found it all. It was glorious. The next year I got about 30 stitches in my leg for climbing in and around said bedroom after a nasty fall on the corner of his work desk. Needless to say I learned my lesson after that, lol.

Then later when I went to live with my mom I found my SNES wrapped up. I wanted it so bad that when everyone went to work one day I xacto knife cut the tape on the wrapping paper and pulled the console, as well as my copy of Super Mario Bros out of their packaging and played it a little while. Carefully slid the console back in the box and re taped the wrapping paper with exact sized pieces of tape to hide my snooping. The trick part was the game. It was wrapped in a clear plastic wrapper which I replaced with some Saran wrap and I believe I had to use a little model glue to seal the plastic up to make it look believable.

It was so awesome getting it unwrapped Christmas morning and no one was the wiser.

no

I still do.
