Today marked a sad day for both DH and I. With tonight being night 4 of Hanukkah we had to not give DS his gift b/c not only did he "peek" at it BUT he lied about it.

He has been distraught all day since finally fessing up and I think it's been just as hard on DH and I as it has been him! It was actually the #1 gift that WE had been wanting to give him.... seriously, I was SOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to THAT gift.

Ugh! We totally hated doing it, but feel that even though it STUNK we felt it was the right disciplinary action for his lying and peeking. When I told my mom about the incident she said "Welcome to the wonderful world of Christmas time and kids"

lol grrrrr....

Funny thing is my sister and I did the SAME THING when we were his age... only we opened ALL the gifts! And then of course re-wrapped them. Still, we got caught and that was one of the gloomiest Christmas' ever! lol

So did anyone here ever lose any of their gifts for peeking early?
