MG, I can never figure out how parents keep Christmas presents a secret.
Keep all your kid's presents locked in the car trunk.
Or keep all your kids locked in the car trunk.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Our wings are not tired.
I love being surprised now and make no attempt to know stuff in advance. When we were kids my mother kept everything behind her bed. She never thought we would look. Yes, she was really that naive. Needless to say, we looked at everything.
The one thing they did that was neat was they put up the tree and decorated after we went to church Christmas Eve when we were very young. It was quite magical in the morning. I don't remember when they stopped doing that.

My parents kept the presents in the attic and I remember being tempted to look, but don't remember ever doing so. There is a story about the year that my oldest sister went downstairs and opened all the presents before anyone got up. It competes with the story about how my middle sister hunted all the Easter eggs one year before anyone woke up.
I, apparently, was a perfect child and never tried to cheat my sisters out of the presents/candy associated with any particular holiday like they did to me. ::uncrosses fingers, now that I'm done telling lies::

Ann, that's a ferret.
We were told that any Christmas presents found would be sent back, and we wouldn't get them Christmas morning. Proved pretty effective for a few years.

Help! I need help re-formatting my resume. I just tried, and nearly gave myself a nervous breakdown. I need to send it off ASAP, and Word is thwarting me. Are any of you good at this sort of thing, and would be able to help me super-quick?

I heard that Pleiades girl knows a thing or two about Word.
