Think the kids have found the presents

[meringue33]

They haven’t covered their tracks very well, but they are denying that they have anything they’d like to talk about.

What now? Just carry on and pretend nothing has happened?

Fortunately they were the presents from us. The presents from Santa are in different wrapping paper and hidden better. (May have to move them though to somewhere completely foolproof in case the kids do more snooping over the weekend).

Kids are 8 and 10.

When my DC were younger,but past the age of believing in Santa they came and told me they'd been looking for something and had found some unwrapped presents. They were definitely hunting for presents because no way would whatever they were "looking" for have been zipped inside the protective non see through bag containing my wedding dress 🤣

My worst Christmas ever was the one where I'd found my presents [bottom of Mum's wardrobe] and knew what each one was. There was no anticipation, no excitement seeing them on the day, and no thrill of opening them. I had to pretend to be surprised. I've never forgotten it.

It was awful, and I learned my lesson. I think I was about 9-10.
