Are you a peeker?

Of course. I used to carefully peel the sellotape back and open the end to see what was inside. Much more preferable to suprises. Now we don't do christmas so there's nothing to peek at but of course my son expects a present which is probably why he has a sudden urge to keep opening the deep freeze.

I started out as a feeler and a shaker then developed into a peeker, especially if it was an odd shaped present, it would drive me mad trying to figure out what it was. Only downside it does ruin the surprise but we only have ourselves to blame

I bet that taught you a lesson!!!! Did that put a stop you being a peeker after that unfortunate episode? I can honestly say I was never a peeker, because I was told that if I ever looked then Santa took a very dim view on children who peeked and I would end up with nothing, so I didn't dare, so I never had any inclination, more fear that if I did I would be a very unhappy little boy. I do have a curious nature about me and I am pretty impatient but throughout my life I haven't been a peeker!

As a child? No. I don't remember there ever being anything to peek at. As a parent? No, not a peeker, but a feeler and guesser. As soon as I bought presents for the boys, they were wrapped and placed under the tree. The boys would look at them, sometimes feel them, but never move them or peek. The boys would wrap their home-made gifts for me and place them there and I would feel them and wonder, but never peek. Now, when presents arrive early in the mail, I admit to feeling and occasionally even to peeking. Of course, there is always a reason to peek.

I was a huge peeker. I would hunt high and low for those Christmas gifts. I would crawl on my tummy through the house just to try and peek at what they were wrapping when they thought I was asleep. I would even practice surprised faces so they wouldn't catch on that I had found their stash..lol..I was a very bad girl.

Wow. I was completely distracted by the whole glass thing from the main point of this post. Talk about intense punishment. You sounded like you were really young at the time too. That's just crazy. Anyway, yeah I'm a peeker. It's like looking for buried treasure!

Lol nope not me Everyone wraps them up to well so I have given up on Peeking lol

we used to when we were kids.we'd take a pin and make a small tear under the ribbon to take a peek.i prefer to wait now though..

Nope. I was the boring child. I never peeked, shook or prodded. Mind my Mum was handy with her wooden spoon and it might have been fear that stopped me. I do know of a pub though where in the ladies washroom there is a sculpture of a naked man on the wall. His dangly bits are covered by a figleaf. You can lift the figleaf and when you do - a bell rings in the bar. The poor girls come out wondering why everyone is laughing at them! Childish but fun.

WOW, that was a little harsh of your mom, LOL! Yes I tend to be a peeker... Like you it was more so when I was a child and I have always been I guess you could say naturally nosey, but I don't peek anymore in terms of gifts because I know my boyfriend loves for them to be surprises. I wouldn't go snooping over anyone else's home, but in my own home it's just him and I. I do still snoop occasionally at receipts, in pockets (I am just doing the laundry) and occasionally in cell phones when I am drunk... which isn't often, and I do trust my man, but that's just the way I am I guess.

U will not do, girlfriend, lol. No, i never was a peeker & there sure is nothing to peek at here anyway. I like surprises anyway. Try to behave till christmas so u will have a surprise.

I do not like peeking, which surprises me is a gift from my parents. My parents always give me the best things: love and present. My father or my mother never angry to me for anything I do, they very nice any time they will try to give me something. I don't get anything in the last month, then I realize what happen to me is a lesson. I am hit myself, never mind I still can wake up.

To be really honest i never ever peeked i always wanted it to be a suprise but i know that most of my friends were peekers and my partner says he always found his presents everywhere before xmas lol, My partners still to this day trys to find they presents i have for him and hes 28 haha, but i hide them well!

I've never been a peeker. It ruins the surprise!! I remember one time I asked my mom if I could borrow a sweater and she said yes. So I went into her closet and saw a present that I KNEW was mine. I got so freaked out and ran downstairs and asked my mom where the sweater was. She instantly knew I had looked in the closet and got SO MAD at me. She took the present back. =( I was so sad because I really really wanted that gift. Now whenever Christmas rolls near, I steer clear of closets. I don't want any gifts to be taken back! It also helps that I don't live in the same state. But this year I went and visited earlier in the month because I won't be able to make it for Christmas. My mom sent me back with all my gifts and they're just sitting next to the piano. No Christmas tree and no one to tell me not to open them. I'm having to exercise A LOT of self control...

I was a very bad peeker when I was a kid and strangely not any more. I always look around for cookies or chocolates and other sweet meats my mother make and used to keep in jars and old big Horlicks bottles. And I also look out for old magazines that have been staked out in the attic. I used to go up using an old crude wooden ladder. Once while I was stepping down a protruding nail pricked near the shin of my leg and at the same time I began falling down. The embedded nail managed to tear down my skin. I still remember my mum flashing to the doctor with me in a panic. It needed four or more sutures and the scar still remain as a present to me peeking talents. You can see it for yourself.

I used to be a peeker. My mother always hid the presents in her bedroom closet so I was always able to find them. I just wasn't always able to reach them because for the most part she hid them on the top shelf. However, she wasn't able to hid them all there so I was at least able to take a peek at one or two gifts before I gave up and moved on. I really haven't done much snooping lately. I've been pretty good about it even though the temptation is there. Now I really like the surprise of Christmas because for the last few years I haven't really had one and I've lost the whole feeling of excitement for the holiday. So I try hard to avoid peeking even though I've come rather close to breaking the streak!

The only time I remember finding a gift was unintentional. I was looking through the closet for something and brought my present out oooing and ahhing at it! I'm not actually sure if that was going to be my present or not, my grandmother could have possibly just said it was as she knew I liked it... I don't know, but in any case, I got it under the tree and I believe it was when we were passing out presents that I even knew that I had peeked my own present.

My big sisters used to make me do it and then they would act all innocent and I would be th one getting into trouble! I am not a peeker as I like to open gifts wihtit knowing what is inside of the wrapping paper

No,not really.I like surprises,but I admit to shaking a box once or twice so maybe I'm more of a shaker lol.

I don't peek inside presents because I don't want to ruin the mystery and the surprise.
