Christmas: My Weakness

I am horrible at surprises. I just can't keep the secret. I get so excited and I cannot wait for the sheer delight the surprise will bring to the person. I just can't contain it. Does this surprise you?
This is why I cannot buy Christmas presents early....cause I just can't NOT give them....
Case in point: Underoos. First, who does not LOVE Underoos? I mean I TOTALLY had a pair of Wonder Woman ones when I was like thirteen three. You WILL NOT BE GETTING A PIC OF THAT!
But when I got home last night and saw these sweet angels getting out of the bathtub I thought about those Underoos I bought as stocking stuffers and how they NEEDED jammies anyways....and the sheer joy and delight they would get from having them...
and I just could not help it. I got in the closet and pulled some of their Christmas presents out...
It was like a little early Christmas JOY....
Oh how I love me a little early Christmas JOY...
And apparently so do these Twerps...
But just for the record...I cannot buy anything else until Christmas Eve....that is as long as I can keep it a secret.

How fun! Underoos are great! I too had Wonder Woman underoos. Your boys look like they are very thankful that you can't keep a secret. They are having so much fun!
I like to wrap gifts so that I'm not tempted to give them early. If they are wrapped, I forget what's in it.

looking back, it was not my proudest moment, but MAN was i proud at the time!

I miss my Wonder Woman Underoos!!! I rocked those babies. And I am with you in the camp of not being able to buy Christmas presents early. Its like they sit in my closest and taunt me.

oh my gosh! Is that IJ in the batman t-shirt or is that BT? I mean they look just alike! I just now noticed that.

I can't keep presents stashed either!

glad the building hadn't burned down last night. That would be so embarrassing to explain after just a couple of weeks on the job!

I loved underoos and loved buying them for my kids. Although my boy is the only one who really loved them. To keep myself from giving up the presents early I keep them at my friends houses so I don't have them near me. :-)

O.K. I'm so old. My first fancy pair had ruffles on the butt. I so loved to show them off! Next came those lovely "Day of the Week" undies.

i'm thinking they get more more christmas joy out of one at a time than all at once. those underoos would've been so much nothin' on the real day. now they get a whole night of dancin' and prancin' out of 'em!
