I love the UPS man!! *giggles*

There is something about ordering gifts for others online that makes me giddy, I think it is the fact that I get to anticipate the gifts arrival via UPS and then when it comes I get the joy of opening it up and checking it out.

3 separate packages just arrived today that I ordered online on black Friday. I can't believe how exciting it all was for me!

Sure the gift isn't for me but just opening the package up after it arrives in the mail is sooo exciting! I smile and talk to myself about how cool it is, I figure out how it works and determine if it needs anything extra to be ready for use upon opening. Then I close it back up and roll out the wrapping paper, I wrap it all pretty and put it under the tree.

That whole process is just as fulfilling to me as actually opening up gifts that are for me on Christmas day. Is that strange?

What holiday traditions or tasks excite you (other than opening you own gifts)?
