If you see a present with your name on it, do you...

Imagine this:

You come downstairs on Christmas morning, and see a huge, nicely wrapped present with a large card with your name on it under the bow. What do you do?

Do you rip off the paper and tear into the box like an otter cracking open a clam?

Do you carefully unwrap the gift and fold the paper, setting it aside, hey gift wrap is expensive!

Do you read the card first, secretly hoping there's cash inside, in case the gift sucks?

Shake it, vainly hoping its not another pair of Hello Kitty socks? How many pairs of butt fugly socks do you need?

Wait until everyone is awake and presents have been handed out.

wait of course.

I wait till everyone is awake, and then i vigorously tear

I open all my presents early before anyone else is up so I can hide my look of diappointment. :x

Wait and then tear it like crazy.

Take the mony....The rest is ****.

This would have made an excellent RC ;)

I am a card-reader, then careful gift opener by birth.

I usually shake it first and try to guess what's in it. Then I segregate all the presents with my name on it to the side. After accumulating my humble pile of gift booty, and if everyone is already gathered around the tree, I read the card on the gift before ripping the wrapper open.

You can send me those Hello Kitty socks...

I pick it up and give it a little rattle.

Tear the **** into it.

Throw it in the nearest hill of snow and wait for it to detonate.THE_DRUGGIE

Well, I'm usually the last one awake, so I'll rip and tear into it.

Option 2, except rip up the paper after it's nicely folded

I wait till everyone is awake, and then i vigorously tear

I wait until everyone is awake, then open the gift slowly. I haven't ravenously torn paper off of a gift since I was 12.

Carefully unwrap, and might save it if it's quality wrapping.

Hello Kitty socks? How many pairs of butt fugly socks do you need?

Actually, socks sound like a decent present compared to what I've gotten so far. A calender and a handsfree cell phone system from 2001-03 (gift exchanges, lol).

I would wait because it builds up anticipation and when I get something awesome I burst (I am 99% sure that I have blown a brain cell before).

Wait. In my home we take turns opening presents from youngest to oldest.

I open all my presents early before anyone else is up so I can hide my look of diappointment. :x

I'm always the last one awake.

So, I rip into it savagely:D

I will ask what it was, hopefully i get an answer, if i dont like it i throw a tantrum and demand something else...immediately!

Just kidding, i ain't a spoilt brat...

I rip and rip and rip until i relise i'v ruined my present :(

Patience is a virtue I have learned with age and wisdom.

I like to shake 'em to see if I can guess what it is. Although, needless to say, I'm usually wrong. lol

Shake it.

Then wait. :lol:

Wait until everyone is awake, and then take turns.

Rip it open after parents awaken ...

i have to wait another 4 hours because no one is awake yet, and i don't like waking people, and my dad would yell at me and tell me to go ****off you little **** and unfortunately i am shorter than him so he can still call me little.

I run towards it and grab it while shouting, "MINE! THIS ONE IS MINE!" and cling to it for deal life as if Santa Claus suddenly changed his mind and would take it back if I didn't otherwise.

I alternate depending on the presents :P
