I am too frightened to even lift the tape. What if it ian,t actually wrapped but just popped in the box. I would see it then and I would be cursed.

Hally hasn't received her gift yet either. Jo's SS sent hers a while ago but the sleigh does have a very long way to come- the North Pole is a long way.  I haven't heard from Hally's SS but have tried to contact them a few times. Still 1 week to go.  :-\

Let's hope they arrive in time for Xmas.
Hope Hally's SS has posted it, otherwise that's really poor form on their behalf.
Fingers crossed for you both. Good things come to those who wait!!

I nearly caved in and opened mine this afternoon as I had a rotten day, and thought I deserved a treat. But I was strong and had a nap instead!  :D

Are those others who are waiting going to open on Christmas day or earlier? I was planning on waiting until the day but will open earlier if we organise a day.

I only peeked at mine as the wrapping paper was open. It is still sitting on mantelpiece plus I am very lucky and have two others from the forum.  Not sure if shall keep to next week or open with my birthday ones tomorrow..... See how I feel.
