Christmas Past

CT is almost 8 years younger than I am and we essentially hated each other while I was growing up. They only thing that we ever had in common was that neither of us could wait until Christmas. Every year we would band together and search the house for our presents. Once my parents caught on they would shop and wrap on the same day. CT & I just viewed this as a challenge and as the years went on we just perfected ways to unwrap and re-wrap gifts without my parents knowing. We’ve tried steaming (only works with certain kind of paper), blow drying (sometimes melts the tape) and our all time favorite: a knife (you just slit the tape and use glue to hide your tracks.....WORKS EVERY TIME).

Clearly, we are impatient, ungrateful and a couple of years without gifts would not have killed us.
