Btw, when can we open the presents? When we get them or do we have to wait until a specific date?

*panting*
Guys...
This is A CHRISTMAS EXCHANGE!!!
we open the presents at C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S, which means
24st DECEMBER (Christmas Eve) will be the EARLIEST POSSIBLE TIME TO OPEN YOUR SANTA PRESSIE!!!!!*
If you want to wait until the 25th or even until 6th January or whatever, you can do that of course ;-)
If you open it before Christmas Eve, it will disappear. Yep. My mum sneaked a peek at her Christmas pressie when she was 6, and it was gone on Christmas Eve!!!!
Yours omnisciently (we're WATCHING you! ;P),
the unsecret elf *gasping for air*
-----
* The one and ONLY exception goes for extra, non-wrapped stuff your Santa might be sending you with a specific "this is not a Christmas present" note attached to it.
-----
P.S.: An extra thread concerning opening-time will appear on the board in December! |

I'm not wearing pj's on Christmas Eve *rofl*
we could all wear our most "Christmas-sy" items of clothing ;P (Thank God elf-clothes make me invisible on photos ;P) |

:D Can't wait to get it! Now I only have to keep my hands off it until Christmas. I probably won't even be able to open before the 27th cos I have so many presents for other people to carry with me on the train, I probably shouldn't start bringing pressies for myself too :P |

just one more thing:
most of you will have to fill in a detailled form for customs, saying exactly what's in the parcel you're sending out.
So, could everyone just IGNORE that information when your presents arrive? (i.e. DON'T read what's written on the customs label thingy on the parcels). Otherwise you'd know what's in the box and I doooon't know if this counts as "sneaking a peek" or not, but we'd better be careful ;) |

I think I was unspecific enough to hide the exact nature of the contents... :) Just write 'candy' instead of 'filled chocolates' or 'cosmetics' instead of 'chanel no. 5' etc. Not that I think anyone will get the latter, but you get the general idea :) |

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a parcel for Juli! :) |
