We've never been very good at waiting until Christmas to open gifts. This morning we thought we'd wait until midnight tonight to open gifts -- when it would officially be Christmas. Well, as we were eating dinner, Troy said "What difference does it make if we open gifts now or if we wait 5.5 hours until midnight?" So, by 7pm, we were opening gifts! I'd have to say we must have been pretty good this year to get what we did!!
One funny story is about one of my gifts that I got. One thing I wanted for Christmas was a North Face sweatshirt/hoodie. Well, Troy ordered the hoodie and when he got it in the mail he realized the bag looked quite big. Feeling the bag, he knew it wasn't the hoodie...it was way too heavy. So, he opened the bag it was mailed in and saw fur. Definitely not what he ordered. When he took it out of the bag, he saw a brown, down North Face jacket. He didn't know what to do because it obviously wasn't what I asked for, but it was my size, and it was a nice jacket. He checked the packaging slip -- they only charged him for the hoodie...not the $200 jacket they shipped. He checked his bank account -- they only took the amount of the hoodie out of his account. So, he told me the story, asked if I liked the jacket (and I did), so it definitely worked in our favor...heck, I got an item 3 times the price that Troy was charged. Go me!
